Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: The Double Standard Logic Chapter 139: The Double Standard Logic Who… was in that room?

Katie stumbled back two steps, an overwhelming sense of dread washing over her.

Logan hadn’t been in the guest room last night-he had been in the conference room… Then where was Natalia?!

Where had Natalia spent the night?!

Katie didn’t dare to think about it.

She stammered as she backed away, “Since… since it wasn’t you, then let’s just drop it.

There’s no need to know.

These are all guests-causing a scene wouldn’t be good…” “What a shame-I’m rather curious.

Jack, open the door.” Logan gave the order lazily.

Jack immediately stepped forward, and under Katie’s horrified gaze, he slowly pushed the door open- “No-” Katie lunged forward, but it was too late!

“Ah!” A sharp scream pierced the air as someone pointed a trembling finger at the bed.

“Isn’t that Natalia?!” Everyone instinctively turned their heads.

Natalia lay sprawled on the bed, her face flushed, her body barely covered.

Just one look and it was obvious what had happened the night before.

Katie’s face drained of all color.

It was as if the sky had collapsed around her.

She rushed forward in a frenzy, yanking the blanket up to cover Natalia’s body.

“Don’t look!

No one is allowed to look!” She didn’t even dare to think about who Natalia had spent the night with-she only knew that they were completely doomed.

“Didn’t you just say this had nothing to do with Natalia, Mrs.

Bryant?

Then why is my dear little sister lying naked in my husband’s bed?” Selina blinked innocently.

“Could it be that you were serious about passing down the ‘art of being a mistress’ to your daughter?” “No, no, that’s not it!” Katie was drenched in cold sweat.

She couldn’t afford to offend Logan now!

She forced a shaky smile.

“Mr.

Reid, please don’t listen to Selina’s nonsense.

Natalia must have just… accidentally gone into the wrong room…” “Mom, why are you here?” Just then, Natalia slowly woke up.

Katie’s breath caught in her throat.

Her expression changed drastically as she quickly raised her voice.

“Natalia-” But it was too late.

Still drowsy and unaware of the situation, Natalia blushed and murmured shyly, “Mom, you were right.

No man can resist me… I belong to Logan now.” Logan’s expression darkened instantly.

Katie’s heart nearly stopped.

It was over!

She forced a stiff smile and quickly tried to cover up.

“Natalia, what nonsense are you saying?

Mr.

Reid… Mr.

Reid never returned to his room.

You must still be drunk-come, let me help you sober up!” But Natalia was furious.

She had worked so hard to finally get Logan, had even spent the night with him-so why was Katie making things difficult for her now?!

“Mom, what are you hesitating for?

Isn’t it a good thing that I slept with Mr.

Reid?

Or are you really planning to let that b*tch Selina stay as Mrs.

Reid?

She doesn’t deserve it!” Katie’s head buzzed, and she felt faint.

“Natalia, listen to me-last night… last night…” “Oh?

Sister, you slept with Logan?” Selina suddenly asked, her voice full of amusement.

Natalia’s face stiffened.

Selina?

Why was Selina here?

But actually, this was perfect.

Now Selina could see for herself that she had spent the night with Logan.

She would have no choice but to give up!

Smugly, Natalia smirked.

“Sister, don’t blame me.

You just couldn’t hold on to your man.

I wonder if Mr.

Reid was ever this gentle with you when you were together.” The room fell into absolute silence.

Then, Selina’s voice rang out again, slow and deliberate.

“Oh…?

Logan was very gentle with you?” Natalia was eager to see Selina suffer.

She sneered, “Of course!

He even said he wants to marry me!” A low, mocking chuckle escaped Logan’s lips.

Katie nearly fainted.

It was over.

Completely over.

Selina had had her fun.

Finally, she gave Natalia a ‘helpful’ reminder.

“Sister, maybe you should check who’s lying next to you before celebrating.

Wouldn’t want to get the wrong person and still be so proud of yourself.” Natalia snapped, “What do you mean, the wrong person?

You’re just jealous!” She was convinced that Selina was bitter.

After all, Selina had fought so hard to marry Logan, only to have Natalia steal him away in the end.

Ha!

So what if she was an illegitimate child?

In the end, she was still going to become the high-and-mighty Mrs.

Reid.

At that thought, Natalia’s mood soared.

“Sister, I know you’re jealous of me, but there’s nothing you can do.

I already belong to Mr.

Reid.

Who knows, I might even be carrying his child.

Last night, we-” Her voice cut off abruptly, the rest of her words stuck in her throat.

Selina chuckled.

“Hmm?

What about last night, sister?

Go on, tell us.” Natalia lifted her head, only to meet the mocking gazes of the crowd.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she was suddenly unable to speak.

Why… why were there so many people here…?

And why was Logan standing next to Selina instead of lying in bed?!

If he wasn’t in bed… then who was?

“Natalia, Natalia, keep going…” Suddenly, a revolting male voice came from the bed, oozing with greasy amusement.

A sickening feeling clenched Natalia’s gut.

Her neck stiffened as she slowly turned her head, her mind going completely blank.

Her expression twisted into pure horror.

“Ahhh!

Who-who is this?!” Why wasn’t the man in bed Logan?!

Selina blinked playfully.

“Oh my, isn’t that Mr.

Perez?

Sister, Mr.

Perez is almost sixty.

I had no idea you had such… refined tastes.” Natalia stared blankly at Mr.

Perez, his ugly, greasy face making her feel like she was about to lose her mind.

No, no, no!

How could it be Mr.

Perez?!

That wasn’t possible-Mr.

Perez was meant for Selina!

On the bed, Mr.

Perez rolled over, exposing his flabby belly.

That was the final straw-Natalia completely broke down, screaming hysterically.

“No!

The man I was with last night was Mr.

Reid!

Selina, you b*tch, you set me up!

No, no, this isn’t happening!

Die!

You should just die, why won’t you die?!” The onlookers were stunned-none of them had expected this.

Going from Logan to Mr.

Perez?

That was one hell of a downgrade… Selina tilted her head, feigning curiosity.

“Logan, my dear sister is a pure and innocent young lady.

Now that Mr.

Perez has slept with her, shouldn’t he take responsibility?” Logan’s lips curled into a smirk.

“How convenient-Mr.

Perez has been eager to form a business alliance with the Clark Family.

Seems like fate.” “After all, Mrs.

Bryant did say that Natalia is a very traditional girl.

She would never give herself away before marriage.

If Mr.

Perez doesn’t marry her, she might not be able to handle the shame.” His tone was calm, as if making a simple observation.

Yet the entire room fell into a suffocating silence.

Because those were the exact words Katie had used when she tried to force Logan to take responsibility.

And now, Logan was throwing them right back at her.

Katie didn’t dare lash out at Logan, so she turned to Selina instead, shrieking in desperation.

“How could you do this to Natalia?!

How could you push her into the fire like this?!” Selina blinked twice, pretending to be confused.

“Isn’t this your logic, Mrs.

Bryant?

Natalia lost her purity, so she must get married-otherwise, she won’t be able to live with herself.

Or… were those words only meant for Logan?” “If the man who took Natalia’s innocence was Logan, then he must take responsibility.” “But if it’s Mr.

Perez… suddenly, it doesn’t count?

My, Mrs.

Bryant, what a convenient little double standard you have.” “Selina!” Katie was utterly speechless, her face flushed red with fury.

Whether from rage or panic, her fingers trembled violently.

“Natalia’s future is none of your business!

Are you satisfied now that you’ve ruined her?!

This isn’t over between us!” Thud.

Logan let go of his grip.

A small recording device fell to the carpet with a muffled sound.

The room instantly fell silent.

Katie’s breath hitched.

Logan’s voice was indifferent.

“Oh?

And how exactly does Mrs.

Bryant plan to settle this?”
