Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 215

Chapter 215: The Foolish Woman Who Got Played
Mr. Butler’s eyes darted sharply the moment he heard the name “Selina,” and suddenly—thud—he dropped to his knees in front of Mrs. Butler.

“Baby, I’m sorry! I swear, last night wasn’t my fault! It was all Selina—she seduced me!”

Everyone turned to stare at Selina in shock.

Mr. Butler burst into tears. “I was drunk and went into the wrong room! I only realized something was off after I showered, and then—then Selina was already naked in my bed! I didn’t know what to do…”

“Aaaahhh!!” Mrs. Butler screeched like a banshee and lunged toward Selina with clawed hands, aiming for her face.

“You filthy tramp! Did you hear that? My husband admitted it! You’ll sleep with anyone, won’t you?! You low-class homewrecker! Get on your knees—NOW!”

Angelica stepped in with a pitiful sigh, playing the part of the peacemaker.

“Sister… you already have Mr. Reid. Why can’t you just cherish what you have? Why drag Butler into this? You’ve hurt Mrs. Butler and betrayed Mr. Reid… how could you?”

Mr. Butler sniffled and added his own flair.

“Selina, I want to go back to my family. Let’s just forget what happened last night. I’ll transfer the money we agreed on—but please, stop coming on to me!”

Mrs. Butler screamed through sobs.

“You dirty whore! Slut! Seducing my husband—go to hell!”

Selina let out a disbelieving laugh. “So your husband cheats, and instead of blaming the scumbag or finding the real mistress, you come at me? Mrs. Butler, maybe take a good look at your husband’s face right now.”

And just like that, Selina knew—Mr. Butler had cheated. She didn’t know who the mistress was, but it definitely wasn’t her. Angelica had clearly played Mrs. Butler for a fool.

But Mrs. Butler didn’t care. She shrieked, her voice cracking with rage:

“Don’t deny it, Selina! You still have a love bite on your neck! You think we’re stupid?! What kind of trash shows off hickeys like that?! You’re just like your mother—a filthy little tramp!”

Selina’s expression turned to ice.

“You don’t get to speak about my mother.”

“And what about the hickey?” she continued coolly. “What if I was making out with my husband last night—what then? Can’t a wife get intimate with her own man? Or are you just assuming that mark wasn’t left by Logan?”

“LIES! All lies!” Mrs. Butler screamed, her eyes red and wild. “Mr. Reid was clearly with Angelica last night! You filthy liar!”

The dining room went dead silent for three seconds.

Then gasps rippled through the room.

Wait—Mr. Reid was with Angelica last night?

So it’s true then? Mr. Reid must still love Angelica… maybe a wedding is coming?

And just like that, Selina understood everything.

Mrs. Butler wasn’t just guessing—Angelica had told her. Probably acting like the future Mrs. Reid, telling Mrs. Butler that Selina was “involved” with her husband… and she believed it.

Selina’s voice was icy.

“Oh, now it makes sense. So you believed I was cheating because you thought Logan was leaving me for Angelica.”

She stood tall, her tone razor-sharp: “Here’s what I don’t get—Mrs. Butler, you’re furious that I supposedly slept with your married husband. But when Angelica goes after my husband, somehow that’s just fine? Isn’t Logan a married man too? Isn’t Angelica interfering in our marriage?”

Everyone in the room blinked.

Right. Selina was the wife.

Mrs. Butler was acting like a righteous warrior defending the rights of a scorned wife—

But then why was she cheering on Angelica, who was trying to take Selina’s husband?

None of it made sense anymore.

Mrs. Butler stumbled over her words, unable to come up with a response.

Angelica’s voice faltered as well. “Selina, that’s not what she meant… it’s just that Mr. Reid has always been calm and restrained. How could he possibly leave such an obvious mark on your neck?”

Mrs. Butler’s eyes lit up, as if Angelica had handed her the perfect excuse. “Exactly!”

Angelica put on a helpless look. “Selina, even if you really did cheat, I wouldn’t tell Mr. Reid. Everyone makes mistakes. As long as you admit it and learn from it, that’s what matters. But you—your attitude—it’s like you don’t even care…”

“She’s right. Clark Miss, you have to tell Mr. Reid. He can’t be kept in the dark.”

“Yeah, we get that you’re trying to protect her, but Selina’s gone too far!”

“Selina, with a sister like Angelica, how could you still be ungrateful? Clark Family’s ‘eldest daughter’ can’t even keep up appearances. No wonder the Clarks don’t take you seriously…”

Selina touched the mark on her neck, then suddenly smiled. “So, you’re doing this for my sake, Angelica?”

Angelica’s expression twisted ever so slightly, but she forced a smile. “Of course. What happened between you and Mr. Butler, we’ll keep it quiet. Just apologize to Mrs. Butler and admit your mistake, and we’ll consider it settled.”

“And also… please don’t pretend that the love bite from another man came from Mr. Reid. Everyone knows he’s cold and self-disciplined. He’d never—”

“It seems everyone’s very interested in my private life.”

A cold, deep voice cut her off.

Logan had just arrived, summoned by Luke the moment things got out of hand. And the first thing he heard was that.

Angelica’s face twitched slightly. She shot a glance at Mr. Butler, then quickly stepped forward and said, “Logan, don’t misunderstand. Selina made a little mistake, and I only brought up your name to help keep her in line.”

Logan narrowed his eyes. “A little mistake?”

Angelica gave a faux helpless sigh, her tone deliberately intimate. “Yes, Selina… last night, she…”

She paused. The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that Logan couldn’t have slept in the same bed with Selina last night. Even if Selina had a hickey—so what? Angelica had never managed to get that close, even with the leverage of being his supposed savior. So why should Selina?

They must’ve slept separately. All it would take now was Mr. Butler doubling down, claiming Selina had been in his bed. Even if Logan didn’t fully believe it, doubt would be planted.

That was enough.

She bit her lip, then spoke with careful urgency. “Logan, don’t get mad, but… Selina spent the night with Mr. Butler. They…”

“Logan,” Selina’s voice rang out calmly, interrupting her, “Angelica says I cheated. That I spent the whole night in Mr. Butler’s bed.”

The air in the room went razor-sharp.

Selina continued, her gaze fixed on Logan. “She also says this hickey on my neck? It’s from Mr. Butler. Logan, don’t you think that’s hilarious?”

Everyone turned to stare at her like she’d lost her mind.

Was she insane?! Even if Mr. Reid didn’t love her, surely cheating was going too far!

Angelica’s heart jumped with excitement. This was it—Selina had just sealed her own fate.

She stepped forward with righteous urgency. “Logan, Selina’s young. Please don’t hold this against her. She and Mr. Butler just… lost their way, that’s all. If anyone’s to blame, it’s me—for not keeping an eye on my little sister.”

She pressed a hand to her heart dramatically. “If Clark Family hears about this, they’ll never forgive her. If someone must be punished, then punish me, not her.”

Her self-sacrificing act fooled more than a few people.

Everyone turned to Logan, holding their breath to see what he’d do next.
