Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Logan’s Childhood Identity Chapter 155: Logan’s Childhood Identity Ryan swallowed hard, his voice hoarse.

“You… you’re my uncle…” Selina froze in shock!

Ryan’s uncle?

That meant Jacob was also Old Mr.

Carter’s son?

Seeing Ryan’s fear, a thought struck her-could Jacob actually be the true heir of the Carter Family?

But she had clearly heard Old Mr.

Carter claim that Logan was his son too.

On the other side, Natalia’s face turned pale with terror.

Uncle… Uncle?!

Why was the Carter Family’s heir siding with Selina?

That bitch already had Mr.

Reid, and yet she was still out there seducing other men!

Jacob chuckled.

“Miss Natalia, are you still unwilling to apologize?” Before Natalia could speak, Ryan had already grabbed her by the head, forcing her into a bow.

“Uncle-no, no, Selina, Natalia and I were wrong.

Please, for the sake of our years of friendship, let this go.

Natalia, apologize!” Natalia hated Ryan’s cowardice.

She clenched her teeth, her whole body shaking with humiliation, on the verge of collapse.

“…Sister, I’m sorry…” Selina raised an eyebrow, feeling quite pleased.

“Scram.” Ryan didn’t hesitate and practically dragged Natalia away.

Natalia watched Ryan’s retreating back, her heart filled with growing resentment.

Why did Selina get to have men like Logan and Jacob by her side?

She had worked so hard to get Ryan, thinking he was the prized heir of the Carter Family, only to find out he was nothing but a spineless fool!

After Natalia left, Jacob turned to Selina with a teasing smile.

“Miss Clark, don’t you have any questions for me?” Selina wasn’t stupid.

She had already noticed Jacob’s hostility toward Logan.

She hadn’t understood it before, but now… These two men were probably brothers.

And in wealthy families, brotherly rivalry was common.

Jacob likely saw Logan as his biggest competitor.

But the Carter Family had treated Logan terribly-so what right did Jacob have to be hostile toward him?

Jacob stepped closer, his tone casual.

“I heard Miss Clark married Logan for… personal reasons.

But don’t you wonder if you’ve mistaken the wrong person?” Selina took two wary steps back.

“What are you trying to say, Mr.

Carter?” Jacob sighed as if finding her caution amusing.

“You don’t need to be so wary of me, Miss Clark.

I’m simply worried that you’ve been deceived.” Selina arched an eyebrow and got straight to the point.

“Are you saying Logan has lied to me?” Jacob gave a polite nod.

“Miss Clark, the Carter Family had some… connections with your mother.

You don’t have to be afraid of me.” Selina’s eyes darkened.

She suddenly thought of those stolen design sketches- The Carter Family had used her mother’s work, never credited her, never shared a single cent of the profits, and handed her legacy to someone else.

And now Jacob had the audacity to call that a connection?

She turned to leave.

“Mr.

Carter, before you say anything else, maybe you should ask Grandpa Carter… where Logan is right now.” Jacob’s gaze darkened as he watched her walk away.

He immediately dialed his assistant.

“What’s going on at the Carter Family estate?” His assistant’s voice trembled.

“Young Master, early this morning, the Old Master invited Mr.

Reid to the estate…” Jacob’s expression turned cold and murderous.

No wonder Selina didn’t believe him.

She probably thought Logan was also part of the Carter Family-so she assumed Jacob was just trying to drive a wedge between them.

What a coincidence.

Logan never willingly stepped foot into the Carter estate, yet today, of all days, he had gone there?

Could it be… that Logan had already predicted Jacob would try to expose the truth to Selina today?

… Selina sat in the car on the way home, feeling uneasy, but she finally called Logan.

“Mrs.

Reid, what’s wrong?” She swallowed.

“Are you at the Carter Family estate?

Did they give you any trouble?

I just saw Mr.

Jacob Carter-he told me I had mistaken something.

I think he came to the university today just to find me.

Did you see him there?” Logan chuckled softly.

“So many questions, Mrs.

Reid.

Which one do you want me to answer first?” Selina realized she was rambling and lowered her voice.

“…Well, did they bully you?

Hearing this, Jack nearly lost control of his expression.

The boss?

Bullied?

The only one doing the bullying at the Carter estate today is him!

Logan’s expression was lazy and indifferent.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.

But I heard Ryan was being an idiot and upset Mrs.

Reid?” Selina instantly frowned, her tone full of disdain.

“I don’t waste my time talking to brainless, blind fools.” A deep, amused chuckle came from the other end of the line.

“Then why do you sound a little frustrated?” Selina clicked her tongue, remembering the design competition.

She had earned her spot fair and square, only for it to be snatched away by Natalia, who had been eliminated in the first round.

But Natalia had connections-then again, didn’t she have connections too?

Didn’t she have the most powerful connection?

Selina pouted and complained loudly, “Logan, Natalia stole my competition slot, Ryan mocked me and said I deserved to step aside, and even the professor is backing her up!

Help me take my spot back, okay?” Logan let out a low chuckle.

Mrs.

Reid had finally learned how to complain.

Progress.

His voice was gentle as he reassured her, “Alright.

I’ll go to City A University myself tomorrow.” Selina grinned in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, at the Carter Family estate- Old Mr.

Carter’s expression darkened as he listened to Logan’s words, his face shifting through several emotions.

Logan ended the call, his demeanor turning ice-cold.

“Old Mr.

Carter, you just said you wanted me to ‘return’ to the Carter Family, correct?” He casually twirled his phone between his fingers.

“Ryan has been using the Carter Family’s influence to throw his weight around, even daring to go after Mrs.

Reid.

If I were to return, wouldn’t that just give him more power to act out?” Old Mr.

Carter kept his composure.

“Logan, do you know… the man Selina originally wanted to marry was actually Jacob?” Jacob.

At the mention of the name, a dangerous glint flashed in Logan’s eyes.

Old Mr.

Carter continued, “If Selina were to find out that you’re not actually a Carter-that you are not my son-what do you think she would do?” Logan’s voice was calm, but his words were sharp and deliberate.

“Thomas, are you threatening me?” His gaze was indifferent, almost mocking.

“Do you really think the Carter Family is in any position to threaten me?” Old Mr.

Carter’s face stiffened instantly.

Logan rose to his feet, glancing at Old Mr.

Carter as if he were looking at something worthless.

“I suggest the Carter Family learns its place.” Old Mr.

Carter watched Logan’s retreating figure with a dark, unreadable expression.

It wasn’t until Logan had completely disappeared from sight that his butler stepped forward with a look of dissatisfaction.

“This Logan… he’s truly ungrateful.

Has he forgotten who took him in when he was at his lowest?

It was you, sir.” “Even if it was for the sake of Jacob’s illness-that we needed someone with a matching rare blood type-Logan still lived under the Carter Family roof for six or seven years.

Even a dog would develop loyalty in that time, yet he…” “Enough!” Old Mr.

Carter snapped, his tone sharp and cold.

He hadn’t taken Logan in out of kindness.

It was because Logan, like Jacob, had a rare blood type.

And Jacob had always been weak, frequently needing medical attention.

The Carter Family had carefully chosen and raised a living blood bank for him.

That blood bank had been Logan-back when he had no last name, no identity, and had yet to return to the Reid Family.

Old Mr.

Carter clenched his teeth.

“If I had known Logan would rise to such power, I never would have treated him as just a blood supply.

Now that the Carter Family is struggling and needs him… I fear-” …
