Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Old Acquaintances

They had no idea Selina was the new owner of Celestial Feast, yet they wanted her to delete the surveillance footage—while still talking behind her back?

Delete the footage? As if things in this world came that easy.

Just then, more voices floated out from the private room.

"Don’t worry, Class Rep. Miss Morris promised to make the introduction. That must mean she’s close to the owner of Celestial Feast."

"Right. If nothing else, the owner will do it as a favor to Miss Morris."

"Exactly! Which is why we should butter her up. But why did Miss Morris insist on bringing Selina?"

"Haven’t you heard the rumors? Miss Morris still considers Selina her sister and wants her back in the Morris Family. If you ask me, what’s the point? She’d just betray them again."

"She still has to come back, doesn’t she? Otherwise, Victoria’s entire inheritance would go to Selina. Why shouldn’t Miss Morris get half too?"

"Selina’s always been ungrateful. Poor Miss Morris, she’s bound to be wronged. You know what they say—Selina’s cursed. She brings bad luck to her parents. That’s why Victoria died."

"And Chairman Morris has been going downhill ever since he got that paternity test with her. Everything’s been falling apart. You think that’s just coincidence? Please."

"I knew it! Nothing good ever comes from being around her. Everyone who gets close ends up ruined. I’m telling you—"

A cold laugh cut through the chatter. The door swung open.

Selina stepped inside, smiling faintly. "Go on. What were you about to say?"

The room fell dead silent.

The class rep’s expression shifted rapidly. He had no idea how long Selina had been standing outside or how much she’d heard. He was terrified she’d leave right away and ruin Miss Morris’s setup. Forcing a smile, he tried to play it cool.

"Selina, hey—you’re here! When did you get in?"

"Just now," Selina replied calmly. "And the first thing I heard was you saying I’m bad news. I’d really love to know what makes you say that. Care to explain? If I’ve really done something wrong, maybe I should fix it."

The rep’s face turned blue. "No, I didn’t mean it like that..."

"Didn’t you?" Selina’s tone didn’t change. Her smile stayed polite. "Then what did you mean?"

Under normal circumstances, he would’ve snapped back. But now that he needed her to impress Miss Morris, he bit his tongue and signaled one of his lackeys.

One of them picked up the cue, rolled his eyes, and threw it back at her.

"Selina, we’ve been waiting for you forever, and now you come in here trying to pick a fight?"

"Seriously. We’ve all been here on time, just waiting on you. And you have the nerve to act all high and mighty?"

"The class rep was just trying to look out for you, saying you were too aloof. Why the attitude?"

Selina slowly raised her eyes and checked the time. "I’m late?"

The lackey huffed, "Of course—"

"You can read, right?" Selina lifted her phone and tapped the screen. The glowing numbers showed 4:00 PM exactly.
