Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Her Man, Her Fight

The imposter broke into a cold sweat, inwardly disgusted.

Joe had just promised to always protect her, claiming she was his biological daughter—

But the moment things went south, he was the first to throw her under the bus.

How could a man be this spineless?

"I..."

She barely got a word out before Selina cut her off sharply, her gaze shifting to Amelia like a blade.

"Since this ’Mrs. Reid’ turned out to be a fake, then everything she said about Logan being a killer doesn’t count. Wouldn’t you agree, Mrs. Perry?"

Amelia clenched her jaw, unwilling to concede. "Even if she’s fake, that doesn’t mean what she said—"

"Then what do you mean?"

Selina’s tone was cool and mocking. "A fake woman accused your ’biological son’ of murder. Now that the fraud’s been exposed, and you’re still not even a little suspicious it might’ve been slander? What kind of grudge do you hold that you’d rather see your own son branded a killer?"

"Or..." Her voice turned sharper. "Could it be that this little impersonation scheme was cooked up by you? People already said—if someone else accused Logan, no one might believe it. But if Mrs. Reid did it? That hits differently."

"Everyone knows how close I am with Logan. So if someone pretends to be me and accuses him, of course it sounds believable. And just like that, a fake me pops up, and both you and Owen pounce. Hard not to be suspicious—don’t you think?"

The room went silent again. All eyes shifted toward Amelia.

The drama between the two Selinas had already shocked everyone. And now Amelia’s behavior...

Sensing the wary glances, Amelia forced a smile. "Well, as the saying goes—better safe than sorry. I just didn’t want this to linger unresolved, only for someone to use it against Logan later."

"Oh, is that so?" Selina gave a soft laugh. "And here I thought you were doing it all for Owen."

Amelia’s expression tightened. "Of course not, Selina, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m doing this for Logan, too! And for the families of those two workers! A death like that can’t just be swept under the rug. Don’t you all agree?"

Reporters exchanged glances. The livestream chat went quiet with hesitation.

"Well... Mrs. Perry does have a point. Even if the imposter made it up, it’s still worth investigating, right?"

One relative from the Reid family murmured, "If it’s a misunderstanding, we can always apologize later. But it’s better to be safe than sorry. If Logan really caused those deaths... those families deserve justice."

Amelia seized the moment, eyes flashing. "Exactly! Selina, I’m Logan’s mother. I don’t want to see this escalate either. But no one’s been able to prove Logan’s innocence yet."

Selina’s gaze cooled. "And what do you propose, Mrs. Perry?"

Amelia’s intentions were crystal clear. "Here’s my suggestion: while the truth is being investigated, let Logan take a break from his duties. Owen can temporarily manage Reid Group. It’s best for everyone!"

Selina looked genuinely surprised. Even now, Amelia wasn’t giving up?

Amelia pressed on eagerly. "And if Logan is cleared, Owen can step down and return the chairman role. That way, the public won’t say anything either."

Director Cole couldn’t take it anymore and cut in coldly, "Even if an investigation is needed, we don’t need Young Master Owen slumming it at Reid Group."

Amelia acted like everything was going according to plan, chiding him playfully. "Now, now, Director Cole, don’t say that. An investigation could take months—at least three. Surely Reid Group can’t go without a chairman that long. So I think..."

"Who said this case was hard to investigate?" Selina asked slowly, her tone casual but sharp.

"Mrs. Perry." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
