Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Only Holds Meaning When It Belongs to You Chapter 161: Only Holds Meaning When It Belongs to You Logan’s voice was calm and unwavering.

“I had a gown and a set of jewelry custom-made for you a while ago, but I never got the chance to give them to you.

Today’s a good day to pick them up-you can wear them to the auction.” Custom-made jewelry… Selina swallowed.

“What kind of jewelry?” “A full set of rare purple diamonds.” Selina couldn’t help but cough.

That set of rare purple diamonds?!

She remembered when they were auctioned off half a year ago-Justin had even gone to watch the bidding for fun.

In the end, someone had bought them for 1.9 billion, and Selina had sighed at how many wealthy people there were in the world.

But as it turned out, the buyer had been Logan!

Not only that, but he had them made into a jewelry set… for her to wear to the auction?!

Selina hesitated.

“Logan, isn’t that a bit too flashy?” Logan’s tone was steady and firm.

“Mrs.

Reid, standing beside me means you will be in the spotlight.

You should get used to it.” “My Mrs.

Reid should outshine everyone-radiant and dazzling.” Selina’s heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

Logan’s voice softened.

“So, accept it.

If you don’t, then its existence has no meaning.” Almost instinctively, Selina nodded.

Half an hour later, the car pulled up outside a luxury jewelry boutique.

Logan stepped out first, and the store manager, beaming with excitement, hurried over to greet him.

“Mr.

Reid, your custom jewelry set is ready.” Selina was also curious to see how such an expensive purple diamond set had turned out.

Just as she stepped inside, the store manager’s smile grew even wider.

“Mr.

Reid, don’t worry.

Miss Perry already tried them on earlier, and they looked stunning.

She’s upstairs now-would you like to go take a look?” Selina stopped in her tracks.

Miss Perry… Vivian?

Logan’s expression turned ice-cold.

His sharp gaze locked onto the manager.

“Who did you give the jewelry to?” The store manager proudly replied, “Of course, to Miss Perry.

She received word early this morning that the set was finished and came right away.

Mr.

Reid, you’re so generous-spending such a fortune on Miss Perry…” “Vivian?” Logan cut him off, his face darkening.

“Manager Wilson, when did I ever say the jewelry was for Vivian?” Manager Wilson froze.

“But… Miss Perry is your sister.

She personally came to the store, so naturally, I assumed it was for her…” Without another word, Logan headed upstairs.

“I’ll have Jack handle this.

Manager Wilson, think carefully about your next steps.” “Mr.

Reid-no, Mr.

Reid, please…!” Manager Wilson panicked.

Moments later, his phone rang, and after answering the call, his face turned ashen.

His legs gave out, and he collapsed onto his knees in terror.

He clenched his fists, frustration boiling inside him.

Turning to a nearby store employee, he muttered, “What else was I supposed to think?

Who else would Mr.

Reid be giving such jewelry to?

I even confirmed with the Hayes Family that it wasn’t for Miss Hayes-so it had to be for Vivian!” As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Selina and vented all his frustration on her.

“If not Vivian, then what?

It’s not like he’d give it to this kind of woman, right?

I’ve seen plenty of these gold-digging leeches clinging to men like parasites.

Disgusting.” Selina watched the scene unfold with amusement.

From the moment she stepped inside, Manager Wilson had completely ignored her.

Even when his gaze accidentally landed on her, it carried nothing but disdain and contempt.

And now, he was outright insulting her-his arrogance practically leaking from every pore.

Selina chuckled.

As she passed by Manager Wilson, she casually made a phone call.

“Kevin, I don’t like the high-end boutique on Fifth Avenue.

Buy it.” Manager Wilson scoffed.

“The audacity!

These mistresses think they can say anything these days.

First time I’ve ever heard of a woman like you talking about buying-” Beep, beep, beep… Suddenly, his phone rang again-this time like a death knell.

As soon as he picked up, his face drained of all color.

His legs buckled, and with a loud thud, he collapsed to his knees, shaking in fear.

Selina raised an eyebrow but didn’t spare him another glance.

She simply turned and headed upstairs.

Upstairs.

Vivian was admiring herself in the mirror, wearing the jewelry set.

The stylist fawned over her, “Miss Perry, Mr.

Reid truly spoils you.

Just the auction price of this purple diamond alone was 1.9 billion, and the customization costs were even higher.

You look even more stunning wearing it!” Vivian’s vanity swelled with pride.

She had heard that her brother Logan had this purple diamond set custom-made into jewelry.

Now that it was finally completed, she had rushed over without hesitation.

Hearing the store manager and staff shower her with praise, she was reluctant to take it off.

In truth, she wasn’t sure who Logan had intended to give the jewelry to-but it definitely couldn’t be Selina.

At that thought, Vivian began fantasizing.

Maybe this set was meant for me!

Perhaps Logan had been planning to surprise her all along!

The bracelet and ring were a little too small, but after some effort, she managed to slip them on.

Unable to resist, she started showing them off.

“Of course, Logan spoils me the most.

That’s settled-I’ll be taking the jewelry with me.” The stylist eagerly stood up.

“Miss Perry, allow me to escort you-” “Miss Perry, you might not be leaving so soon.” A playful female voice interrupted their conversation.

Selina smiled as she studied Vivian, tilting her head.

“Logan, your sister is really shameless.

Just taking something worth billions as if it were nothing.” Vivian’s head snapped up.

Selina?!

She met Logan’s cold gaze, and for a moment, panic surged in her chest.

But then she remembered-she was already wearing the jewelry, and Logan hadn’t said anything to stop her.

That must mean it was meant for her!

Vivian regained her confidence.

“Selina, what does this have to do with you?

Are you jealous that Logan gave me this jewelry?” Logan’s eyes darkened dangerously.

Selina blinked.

“Miss Perry, are you sure this belongs to you?” Vivian lifted her chin.

“Of course it does!

Who else could possibly deserve such a rare purple diamond set besides me?” “But,” Selina said with mock confusion, “don’t you think the ring and bracelet are a bit… small?

High-end jewelry is always custom-fitted-mistakes like that wouldn’t happen.

So… Miss Perry, are you still going to pretend?” Vivian’s face turned red.

She hated how aggressive Selina was.

Feeling cornered, she snapped, “Even if it’s not mine, so what?

I was just trying it on!

Why do you care so much?

What, is it yours or something?

Let me tell you-” “Yes, it is.” Selina answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Otherwise, why would I be here?

Unlike you, Miss Perry, I don’t have a habit of coveting things that don’t belong to me.” “You-!” Vivian’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Logan, she’s lying, right?

There’s no way someone like Selina deserves such expensive jewelry!” Logan’s voice was cold and indifferent.

“Take it off.” “Logan, you-” Vivian was nearly in tears.

Looking at the man she admired defending another woman, her eyes burned with humiliation.

She wanted nothing more than to point at Selina and curse her out.

But she couldn’t ruin her image.

Instead, she let out a pitiful sob.

“Logan, look at Selina!

She’s always bullying me.

It’s just a jewelry set!

As my sister-in-law, she won’t even let me try it on?

How can she be so petty?” Selina, propping her chin up, watched Vivian’s performance with amusement.

She was genuinely curious-how would Logan respond?

Logan’s gaze lifted slightly, his expression unreadable.
