Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444: Reaping the Benefits While Others Fight

Scott saw there was no use denying it and admitted crisply, "It was my idea."

He waved the waiter away; the man fled in a panic. Soon the room was left with only Logan, Scott, and Ethan, who’d rushed over.

"What the hell!?" Ethan demanded. "Where’s Selina? She’s the main guest tonight—she can’t miss this. Where did you take her?"

Scott explained calmly, "Ethan, I don’t see what tonight has to do with Selina. I didn’t want her ruining the event or disappointing Riley. Don’t worry—I’m just having her rest for a night. I’ll send her back safe and sound tomorrow morning."

Before Logan could respond, Scott kept talking. "There was everything she needed, staff to wait on her. Logan, letting Selina into Reid Group was a mistake. You can see for yourself—Riley can offer you so much more."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Logan abruptly kicked Scott hard in the knee!

Scott staggered back several steps. "Logan!"

Ethan looked shocked. "You didn’t want Riley disappointed? Riley can give Logan more? Scott, are you out of your goddamn mind?"

Scott didn’t think he was wrong. "I’m not crazy. Riley told me—"

"Riley’s brainless, and you’re just as bad?"

Logan gave him a cold glance and ordered, "Jack. Get the car."

Scott froze for a moment. "The press conference is about to start. If you go after Selina now, there’s no time!"

Logan let out a mocking laugh. "Oh, now you’re worried about time?"

The reporters were in place, everyone ready—and the SL chairman was missing.

Logan turned to leave. At that moment, Riley came hurrying after him. "Logan, the press conference is starting. Where are you going?"

Jack stepped in front of her. "Miss Nelson, please stay here."

Riley bit her lip. Selina was already taken care of. She had to seize this chance. If she could just—

"Logan, I’m ready. The press conference is important—don’t ruin today’s deal over personal feelings. What if SL gets upset? I can go with you and—"

"Who gave Miss Nelson this much confidence?" Logan interrupted coldly. "Scott didn’t know? You didn’t know either?"

He didn’t wait for her answer. He just strode out. Jack hurried after him.

Riley’s eyes reddened. "Scott, see? I wasn’t wrong. The second it’s about Selina, Logan just loses it. He’s so—"

"Riley." Ethan cut her off. He turned to Scott. "Where did you lock Selina up?"

Scott pressed his lips together. "I can’t tell you."

Ethan’s voice was ice. "If you want to ruin years of friendship over this, go ahead."

He didn’t wait for a reply. He just opened the car door and drove off.

Scott clenched his fists, then let them go. "Riley, I’m going after them."

Riley ground her teeth. She didn’t understand what Logan meant. Was Selina really that important?

He was actually willing to leave everyone hanging for her—even though SL’s Brooks was already here...

Riley’s face twisted with fury. No. She couldn’t lose.

She had to use this chance to secure her position, to make everyone see she was the real leader, and Selina was nothing.

...

In the car, Jack said, "Sir, we confirmed—Madam is at the Hanks old estate."

Ethan looked at the car following them. "Scott’s tailing us."

Logan’s face didn’t change. "Ignore him. We’re going straight in."

When Scott helped Riley abduct Selina, Logan had already decided—he didn’t care if it was the Hanks estate or anywhere else. He was going to bust in.

When their car screeched to a stop, Scott jumped out too.
