Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496: Backstabbers Collide

The reporters’ expressions shifted subtly.

Selina watched Amelia’s smug look and suddenly understood—

Amelia didn’t know about the livestream.

Normally, a shareholders’ meeting like this wouldn’t be broadcast live. Reporters would simply gather footage to edit later, deleting anything unfit to air. So as long as you bought off the reporters, the rest was handled.

But...

Selina blinked. "Mrs. Perry, are you sure that buying off the reporters is really all it takes?"

Amelia frowned. Who else was there? The Morris family, embarrassed after mistaking their daughter, wouldn’t publicize it. The Reid Group board and shareholders? A bigger scandal would only hurt them. As for actor Damien and Aiden? They listened to Selina—she could talk them down if needed.

The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Just the reporters needed silencing.

Selina shook her head with a trace of mystery. "Mrs. Perry, you’re thinking too small. Reporters aren’t the only ones who know."

Owen suddenly realized something. Cold sweat beaded down his face, and his lips began to tremble.

He—he might have...

"Who else? Say it clearly!" Amelia snapped. But she noticed something wrong with Owen’s face. "Owen, what’s wrong with you?"

"Mom, I—I..."

"Owen, don’t be afraid! It’s just a minor thing—give those reporters some money. Ten thousand isn’t enough? Try fifty thousand. And Logan, this mess hurts your reputation too, doesn’t it? Be a good brother and help cover it."

Amelia sounded casual. In her mind, reputation was everything—of course Logan wouldn’t object.

But before Logan could say anything, Selina sighed with mock regret. "The problem is, there are just too many people to pay off."

"Selina, you’re doing this just to spite me!"

Amelia’s temper flared. "There are only a few dozen reporters! How is that too many? Logan, don’t tell me you won’t even do this for Owen!"

Selina let out a cold laugh. "Even if Logan was willing, and even if he had the money—he still couldn’t buy them all off."

She glanced at her phone. "Ninety million people. That’s the current livestream view count. Even Logan can’t buy off ninety million people."

Ninety million... what?

Amelia’s mind snapped to the one explanation. She shrieked, "Selina, what did you do?!"

Selina blinked innocently. "Why ask me, when you could ask Owen?"

Owen... what did this have to do with him?

Amelia clung to hope. "Owen, she’s bluffing, right? That whole ’ninety million viewers’ thing—she made it up, right?"

But Owen looked away.

A chill shot down Amelia’s spine. Her mind spun back over everything that had happened today.

She tried to buy off the board and force her son into power—but Logan was still elected.

She supported the fake Selina in smearing Logan—only for the imposter to be exposed.

And now... all of it had been watched by the public?

Ninety million?

Only one explanation made sense: a livestream. Damien’s massive fanbase must have brought in the numbers. It was all part of Selina’s plan.

Amelia screamed, "Who gave you permission to stream this?! Shareholder meetings are private! You broke the rules! You don’t deserve your shares!"

Logan’s voice turned cold. "If you’re going to throw a tantrum, Mrs. Perry, try aiming it at the right person."
