Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448: Can You Even Handle It?

Riley looked at Selina and couldn’t resist showing off.

"Selina, you might not know this, but I’m very close with the SL Chairman."

Someone in the audience nodded.

"They’ve known each other for over twenty years—they’re childhood friends. The entire Nelson Family knows the Chairman is pursuing Riley. Selina’s question is ridiculous."

Selina raised an eyebrow.

"Oh really? Funny, I’ve never heard the SL Chairman’s special someone was you."

Madam Nelson jumped in.

"Selina, don’t project your own pathetic standards onto others. Just because no one likes you doesn’t mean no one likes Riley."

Riley sighed theatrically.

"If you don’t believe me, you can ask Taylor, our VP."

Eric didn’t hesitate.

"Yes, I’ve personally seen the Chairman dining with Miss Nelson. She’s a regular at SL."

He gave Selina a scornful glance.

"Some people have already wasted too much of our time. The press conference needs to start. Shouldn’t the irrelevant parties get lost?"

Riley was satisfied and offered Selina a faux-regretful smile.

"Selina, if you really want to be the lead on this, I can mention it to the Chairman. But right now everyone’s waiting for the press conference. Can you please step aside for now? We’ll talk later."

Plenty of reporters—already paid off by the Nelson Family—immediately took Riley’s side.

"Selina, Riley’s right. Do you think you can just waste everyone’s time like this?"

"Because of you, the whole event was delayed for half an hour. How much longer do you want to drag this out?"

Eric was eager to curry favor.

"Selina, can you stop making things harder for us? Do you even understand how busy we are? Everyone’s running themselves ragged, and you want us to indulge your princess games? Completely shameless."

Riley shook her head and gave Selina a sweet, apologetic smile.

"Selina, I really am sorry. Mr. Taylor’s just stressed. We don’t have time to entertain you right now. Why don’t you go rest upstairs for a bit?"

Selina couldn’t fathom where Riley got all this confidence.

"Sure," she said evenly. "Then Riley—see you in a bit."

Riley’s smile faltered, confusion flashing at Selina’s "see you in a bit."

Selina turned to Eric with an even darker smile.

"And you... we’ll be seeing each other again very soon."

She paused, her voice dropping.

"Last time, actually."

Eric didn’t take her words seriously at all. He just snorted.

Madam Nelson sneered.

"Eric, you’d better watch out. Selina will probably go crying to Logan again. God knows why he’d ever marry such a troublesome woman."

Logan’s eyes went cold.

Riley noticed the look between Selina and Logan and felt a sudden stab of unease.

But with the spotlight on her, her vanity pushed everything else aside. She flashed Logan a dazzling smile.

"Logan, shall we begin?"

Not far away, Scott opened his mouth like he wanted to say something to Riley.

But he shut it again. The arrogance drained from his face, replaced with something uncertain. He mumbled—maybe to her, maybe to himself:

"Riley wouldn’t lie about this to Logan’s face... would she?"

After all, Logan said Selina was the real lead here. But Riley had just kicked Selina off the stage in front of everyone—didn’t that mean she had more leverage?

Ethan just scoffed.

"Still don’t believe it? Then keep watching."
