Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446: Acting Like a Diva

Scott really did have that question in mind, but for some reason, the moment Selina brought it up herself, he suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Unfortunately for him, Selina just gave him a single glance before walking off lightly. "If you’re so curious, you can think about it yourself."

Scott’s throat tightened. "..."

After Selina left, Logan also walked out without another word. Only Ethan stayed behind for a moment, letting out a long sigh.

Scott frowned. "Logan’s really going to turn against me over one woman?"

Ethan gave him a look of pure exasperation. "Turn against you? You kidnapped Selina. You talked to her like garbage. Whether Logan loves her or not, she’s Mrs. Reid. And judging by how he acts? He absolutely does love her. You’re the only one too thick to see it."

"But..." Scott struggled. "What does that have to do with him insisting on bringing her back?"

Ethan gave him a long, meaningful look. "Tell me, Scott—who do you think is the most important person at today’s press conference?"

Scott looked confused. "Obviously Logan. SL’s President Brooks. And Riley."

"Wrong," Ethan said flatly. "It’s Logan. President Brooks. And Selina."

Scott’s confusion deepened, but Ethan didn’t bother waiting for more questions. He turned to leave.

"And why it’s Selina—why everyone’s waiting on her—why Brooks lost his temper when she vanished—think about that yourself. Oh, and think about whether Riley had anything to do with this, too. Think real hard if you ever heard Brooks mention Riley even once."

Scott broke into a cold sweat.

If everyone was waiting for Selina... If she was actually one of the most important people there today...

Then Riley’s claim about being the personally appointed project lead by the SL chairman—did that even hold water anymore?

...

Selina climbed into the car. Jack floored it, rushing them back to the press conference venue.

By now, the event was already an hour behind schedule.

Selina bit her lip hard.

"Let’s just go in." Logan reached over, rubbing the back of her head gently. "We can talk about everything else later."

"Okay."

Selina pushed open the car door—only to hear a voice ring out over the speakers:

Riley, speaking to the press with calm confidence: "I’m sure I’ll be able to lead this merger successfully."

Selina’s brows lifted in amusement.

...

Half an hour earlier.

Riley was pacing anxiously in the waiting room. She’d tried to see President Brooks, only to be blocked by staff saying he was unavailable.

She couldn’t understand it. The event had been set to begin, but now it was officially delayed, with no new start time announced.

She was supposed to be the appointed lead. Everything was ready. Why hadn’t it started?

Logan was nowhere to be found. Scott had also disappeared. Her frustration spiked.

"Miss!"

An assistant ran up, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "I found out—Logan ordered the delay because he went to look for Selina."

"What?!" Riley’s face twisted in rage. She swept an arm across the table, sending cups smashing to the floor.

"Selina?!"

Logan delayed her big moment—for Selina?
