Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: A Clash of Power Chapter 158: A Clash of Power Under Logan’s quiet control, not a single person in the banquet hall paid attention to what was happening.

Tom finally realized he had just been beaten up by a woman, and his rage exploded.

“Selina, how dare you!” Bang.

Another punch.

Selina’s expression didn’t even change.

“Young Master Hanks, you must be joking.

You dared to try and ruin my face, but I’m not allowed to hit you?” Tom screamed, “I’m the heir of Hanks Group!

If you dare go against me, you’re as good as dead!” Natalia hurriedly stepped in, feigning concern.

“Sister, please don’t do this.

Young Master Hanks never meant to take your life.

Can’t you just talk this out…?” “Shut up.

Say another word, and I’ll beat you too.” By the end, Tom couldn’t even make a sound anymore.

His whole body ached-how could a woman hit this hard?!

Selina crouched down, laughing softly.

“Young Master Hanks, if the law can’t solve the problem, I have other ways.

Do you understand?” Tom gritted his teeth.

“Just wait, Selina!

I’ll make sure you get expelled!” Selina couldn’t be bothered with his empty threats.

She turned away indifferently-only to freeze mid-step.

Logan stood in the corner, watching with a faint smirk.

Who knew how long he had been standing there?

“Mrs.

Reid fights hard.

Have you trained before?” Selina felt a little guilty.

“No… Tom just inspired my potential.” Logan chuckled in amusement.

“The Hanks Family won’t let this slide so easily.” Selina scoffed.

“Then let them come at me.” In fact, she had already set her sights on Hanks Group.

Since Tom had offended her, he could pay for it-with his father’s company.

After a good night’s rest, Selina made a few phone calls before heading to school.

Jack was puzzled.

“Sir, you’re not accompanying Madam?” Yesterday, she had thoroughly humiliated Tom.

He was bound to cause trouble today.

Logan spoke lazily, “Do you think Tom even has the power to be a threat to her?” Jack was about to respond, but Logan continued on his own.

“Then let’s take away his power.” With Logan’s ruthless efficiency, he didn’t even need to lift a finger.

Jack made two phone calls, and within ten minutes, Hanks Group was nothing but an empty shell.

The company’s shares quietly transferred into Logan’s hands.

He chuckled lightly.

“Consider this an apology gift from the Hanks Family to Mrs.

Reid.” City A University.

Selina immediately noticed that something was off.

Her classmates were avoiding her.

No one dared to speak to her on the way in.

It was as if she had been completely isolated.

Selina couldn’t be bothered to think too much about it.

She simply closed her eyes and rested.

Just then, her phone vibrated twice.

A female classmate who was usually friendly with her had sent a message: [Selina, Tom’s mother came to school today.

Professor White is entertaining her.

She threatened that anyone who dares to be friends with you will have their family ruined.

We’re all too scared to talk to you…] [The Hanks Family has a lot of influence in City A.

They also have ties with the Perry Family.

Mrs.

Hanks and Mrs.

Amelia are close… If you offend them, there won’t be any good outcome.] Selina smirked.

So Mrs.

Hanks is trying to intimidate my classmates now?

“Selina, Professor White wants to see you.” Someone called from the doorway.

Selina nodded calmly and headed for the office.

At the same time, another message popped up on her phone.

It was from Gordon: [What’s going on, Selina?

Why did you call me to school?

Justin and the others were bored, so they came too.] Selina slowly typed a response: [I was just thinking… having a strong background is really nice.] Tom thought he could use his family’s influence to crush her?

She hadn’t revealed her identity at first simply because she couldn’t be bothered.

But since the Hanks Family refused to back down… Then let’s see whose background was truly stronger.

Inside the office.

Mrs.

Hanks sat with her nose in the air, seething with rage.

“Where is that student?!

Does she not know my time is precious?!

My son is still in the hospital, and that wretched girl is out here walking free?!” Professor White, eager to please, nodded obsequiously.

“Yes, yes, that student is nothing but a disgrace…” Mrs.

Hanks sneered.

“So young, yet already so vicious.

That girl should be locked up!

What’s her name again?

Oh, right-Selina.

That motherless wretch.

Her mother deserved to die!” “I think your son is the one who deserved it.” A cold female voice cut through the air as Selina pushed the door open, one brow arched slightly.

Professor White glanced at Selina, feeling utterly satisfied.

The Clark Family had bribed her to give Natalia the design competition slot, yet Selina had dared to refuse.

Who did she think she was?

Just a student-did she really believe she could overturn everything?

Now, after offending the Hanks Family, did she really think she’d get off easy?

Mrs.

Hanks shot up from her seat, her expression dark as she glared at Selina.

“So, you’re that little bitch?” Selina scoffed.

“Your son hired someone to throw acid at me.

Plenty of students saw it happen.

Do you really think you have the right to insult me?” “You-” To Mrs.

Hanks, Selina deserved to be disfigured.

Anyone who dared to cross her son should be destroyed.

“The fact that my son targeted you is an honor to you!” She turned to Professor White.

“This is your student?

She actually dares to talk back to me?!” Professor White, desperate to stay in Mrs.

Hanks’ good graces, immediately turned her fury on Selina.

“Shut your mouth, Selina!

You’ve already beaten a classmate into the hospital.

What’s next?

You’re nothing but a disgrace to society, a parasite!” Seeing Mrs.

Hanks’ satisfied expression, Professor White grew bolder.

“And besides, you claim Young Master Hanks targeted you-but have you ever wondered why?” “It’s because you, a shameless wretch, stole Natalia’s competition slot!

Young Master Hanks was just standing up for what’s right!” Mrs.

Hanks let out a pleased chuckle, wearing the smug smile of the elite.

“Selina, you dared to lay a hand on my son.

You will pay the price.

Do you think your age will protect you?

I’ll have Hanks Group’s lawyers make sure you spend the rest of your life behind bars!” Selina remained expressionless.

“Even in court, Tom would bear full responsibility.” “Court?

Hah!” Mrs.

Hanks burst into exaggerated laughter.

“You?

A poor student, daring to challenge me?

Do you have any idea who the Hanks Family is?

Even if you were innocent, we could still get you a life sentence!” Selina tilted her head slightly.

“So what you’re saying is-if you have power and money, you can do whatever you want?” Mrs.

Hanks scoffed.

“Of course.

I have nothing more to say to a peasant like you.

That’s the end of it.

Professor White, expel this student.

We wouldn’t want people misunderstanding the situation and thinking my son was bullying a female classmate.” “As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap.

If you hadn’t-” SMACK!

A crisp, resounding slap echoed through the room.

Selina calmly withdrew her hand.

“Mrs.

Hanks, do you think one hand can make a sound?” Can a single hand clap?

Professor White was stunned into silence, too terrified to speak.

Has Selina lost her mind?!

She actually hit Mrs.

Hanks!

Mrs.

Hanks trembled with rage, her ears ringing.

“You bitch… you bitch… YOU DARE HIT ME?!” She turned to Professor White, practically shrieking.

“Call that wretch’s parents over!

The Clark Family, is it?!

Just you wait!

Either this b*tch cuts off a hand as an apology, or I’ll make sure the Clark Family goes bankrupt!” Professor White was so terrified her hands shook as she dialed.

Mrs.

Hanks gritted her teeth.

“Selina, I’ll show you just how powerful the Hanks Family is.

I’ll make you regret this for the rest of your life!” A battle of power?

Selina let out a light scoff.

“No need to call them.

I’ll do it myself.” She pulled out her phone and casually dialed.

“Uncle, you can come over now.” …

Meanwhile, at Reid Group.

Logan watched the surveillance footage with an icy gaze, a smirk playing at his lips.

“The Hanks Family thinks Mrs.

Reid has no background… and wants to compete with her?” What a joke.

If we’re comparing backgrounds- Who in City A could possibly match Mrs.

Reid?
