Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex’s "Uncle" - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: I Am Her Husband Chapter 92: I Am Her Husband The room instantly fell silent.  Logan stepped in against the light, exuding an air of natural dominance, like a born ruler surveying his subjects.  Everyone froze in shock, their pupils contracting sharply.  Logan…

He was the one-the undisputed head of the Reid Family!

A man of his stature was someone they never imagined encountering in person, yet here he was, walking into Clark Group unannounced.  James was the first to react, quickly standing and vacating his seat with a flattering smile: “Mr.

Reid, please take the head seat!

It’s truly an honor to have you here.

Forgive us for not welcoming you properly!”  Logan sat down nonchalantly, taking the seat reserved for the most powerful figure in Clark Group.

Yet, no one found it inappropriate-he naturally belonged at the top.  Katie’s eyes darted around as she forced an ingratiating smile.  “Mr.

Reid, what a pleasant surprise!

We had no idea you’d be visiting, or we would’ve prepared a proper reception for you.”  Logan casually tapped his fingers on the table and responded with a question instead of an answer: “What’s going on here, Mr.

Clark?

Seems lively.”  The crowd collectively tensed.  Logan’s words confirmed it-he was here specifically for Clark Group!  The representatives of Taylor Group exchanged subtle glances, their resolve hardening.

They knew this was their golden opportunity to secure Selina.

If they could marry her into their family, perhaps they could forge a connection with Logan himself.  James shot Katie a glare, silently berating her lack of tact.

Someone like Mr.

Reid surely wouldn’t appreciate being interrogated about his movements-how shortsighted!  Pulling himself together, James mustered a nervous smile and replied,  “Mr.

Reid, we were just reasoning with Selina.

She’s been unhappy with the marriage arrangement her family has made for her and is throwing a bit of a tantrum.

Please don’t mind her childish behavior.”  Lowering his voice, James hissed at Selina, “Stop acting out.

Did you hear me?”  Turning to Steven, he added in a more accommodating tone:  “Steven, I entrust Selina to you.

Please don’t let her cause any offense to our distinguished guest.”  Selina scoffed at James’s audacity to twist the narrative so shamelessly.  Steven seized the opportunity, reaching for her wrist,  “Come here.

Be a good girl and come home with me.

I’ll make you the future lady of Taylor Group-a privilege most women can only dream of!”  “Marriage arrangement?”  Logan raised an eyebrow, his tone calm but authoritative enough to silence the room.  “I believe I just heard Miss Clark say she’s already married.”  The silence deepened, and James felt a cold sweat drip down his back.  Hurriedly, he put on a pained expression, feigning heartbreak.  “Mr.

Reid, you don’t understand the kind of man she married-he’s just a security guard!

It’s not that we look down on him, but honestly, he’s not someone who belongs in this world of ours.”  A security guard…  Selina couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.  Logan’s smirk widened at the sound.  Hearing her laughter, James shot her a venomous glare before quickly regaining his obsequious demeanor, “Yes, Mr.

Reid, it’s disgraceful for someone like Selina, the eldest daughter of the Clark Family, to marry a mere security guard.

We only want what’s best for her.

Taylor Group is a respectable family-they’d treat her well.”  Selina leaned back lazily, her tone laced with derision, “If Taylor Group is such a great match, why don’t you marry off your precious Natalia instead?”  Natalia’s eyes filled with unshed tears, and Katie quickly jumped to her defense, “Selina, how can you be so unreasonable?

Natalia is already with Ryan-she can’t marry two men!”  Logan’s expression grew colder.  The audacity of the Clark Family to even mention Ryan!  Selina arched an eyebrow and said coolly, “Natalia isn’t married yet, and you’re already saying a woman can’t marry two men.

Meanwhile, I’m already married, but you’re forcing me to divorce and remarry?

What kind of twisted logic is that?

Maybe Mr.

Reid should weigh in on this.”  Her gaze shifted to Katie and Natalia, sharp and unwavering.  “Besides, you both handpicked Taylor Group, fully aware of their reputation.

My dear stepmother, you climbed your way to the top as a mistress-and now you’re determined to send me to my death so your daughter can live comfortably?” The conference room plunged into dead silence, as shareholders and executives exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of how to respond.  What Selina said wasn’t wrong… A mistress clawing her way to the top and going out of her way to eliminate both the ex-wife and her daughter from the picture-it was undeniably ugly.  Katie suddenly covered her mouth, bursting into tears with an air of grievance.  “Selina!

Is this really how you see me?

Woe is me!

Everyone says being a stepmother is hard, but I’ve done everything with you in mind.

Yet you think I’m out to harm you?

What have I done to deserve this!”  Natalia followed suit, tears streaming down her face as though she were the most innocent and fragile person in the world.  “Sister, don’t be like this.

I know you’re upset, but what other good family would have you besides Taylor?

I’m saying this for your own good…”  Selina sneered.  “If you really cared about me, maybe don’t climb to the top as a mistress, or steal my fiancé.

Saying all this now-don’t you think it’s a bit too late?”  Unable to contain themselves, several people glanced down awkwardly.  She wasn’t wrong.

What right did Natalia have to make such comments?

The only reason Selina couldn’t marry into a prestigious family was because Natalia’s mother had snatched her rightful place, leaving her labeled as a “cast-off.”  James’s face twisted, and he shot up from his seat.  “Nonsense!

Taylor Group is your best choice-“  “Is that so?”  Logan’s voice cut through, laced with an unsettling calm.  “Mr.

Clark seems to think Taylor Group is the best Clark Family can do.

I must say, your judgment leaves much to be desired.”  The remark landed like a sharp blade, cutting into both families.

Neither Taylor Group nor Clark Family dared voice their anger, yet they couldn’t refute the words either.  In Logan’s eyes, what was Taylor Group, after all?  Taylor’s CEO wiped the sweat from his forehead, stumbling to explain.  “Mr.

Reid, naturally, Taylor Group cannot compare to you.

But… Clark Miss’s reputation isn’t great, and she’s already been married.

Other than my son, no one else would take her…”  Madam Taylor forced a stiff smile.  “What Mr.

Reid said is true, but Selina would be lucky to marry into Taylor Group.

After all, it’s quite the step up for her.”  James jumped in as well, attempting to justify himself.  “Exactly, Mr.

Reid.

As her father, I would never harm my own daughter.

Selina’s current husband could never provide her with happiness, let alone compare to Taylor.

I just want the best for my child.

Surely you understand that?”  Logan’s smile deepened, but his eyes grew colder.  “So, Mr.

Clark believes the eldest daughter of Clark Family’s husband doesn’t compare to Steven?”  Something about that statement felt off to James, but he couldn’t quite figure it out.

He awkwardly nodded anyway.  “Y-Yes, Selina married some random man.

Naturally, he couldn’t hold a candle to Taylor.

Marriage should still respect parental guidance and proper matchmaking-“  “I see now.”  Logan gave a slow, deliberate nod, his voice calm as he uttered words that left everyone in the room utterly stunned.  “So, in Clark Family’s eyes, I’m unworthy-even less so than Steven.”  What…?  What did Logan mean by that?

Why was he comparing himself to Steven?  James began to panic.

“What are you saying, Mr.

Reid?

I’d never think-“  Logan interrupted him coolly, his voice indifferent but cutting: “Mr.

Clark, do you have any idea why I came to Clark Group today?”  A suffocating pressure filled the room, bearing down on James as his breathing hitched.  “Y-You… You came for…”  “I came for Selina.”  Logan finished his sentence effortlessly, then leaned back with an air of casual authority.  “And as soon as I arrived, I was greeted with a joke-Clark Family seems to believe I’m inferior to Steven.”  James stammered, his mind scrambling to catch up.  “Mr.

Reid, you’re mistaken!

We were talking about Selina’s husband, not you-“  Logan’s gaze swept over the family with icy disdain before a faint smirk curved his lips.  “And it never crossed any of your minds that I might be Clark Family’s eldest daughter’s so-called ‘unworthy’ husband?”
