Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Scared Out of Her Mind

The guests in the audience exchanged confused looks. What was Mr. Reid doing?

The bride was already standing next to him, yet he hadn’t spared Angelica a single glance. Anyone else would probably be crying by now.

Joe’s face darkened. Grandpa Reid also sensed something was wrong and warned, "Logan, this is your engagement party. Whatever the issue is, deal with it after the ceremony."

Angelica’s eyes brimmed with tears. "Logan, what’s wrong with you...?"

"Nothing." Logan finally moved. His voice was calm. "There’s just one thing I’m curious about. I want to ask you again."

Angelica felt a sinking dread. "Can’t it wait, Logan? All the guests are watching..."

"Angelica," Logan interrupted coolly, "are you sure Selina said in her will that she wanted me to marry you?"

The room fell silent. Why was Logan asking that? Wasn’t it obvious? The will had already been made public—how could it be fake?

Angelica’s throat tightened, but she managed a smile. "Of course, Logan. Didn’t you read Selina’s will yourself?"

Logan nodded slightly. "But someone told me she didn’t write it."

Angelica bit her lip, tears falling. "Logan, the will was found among Selina’s personal belongings. If she didn’t write it, then who did? Who’s been feeding you these lies?"

Joe’s face clouded. "Angelica is your fiancée! You’d believe a stranger over her? Who told you this nonsense?"

Everyone went quiet, not daring to speak. Luke clenched his fists. He knew it was his cue.

"What’s the Morris Chairman trying to do? Dig around to find out who said it so he can threaten them?"

Luke’s tone was light and mocking. "Besides, I heard the same thing—that Angelica forged the will. My brother just wanted to be sure before wrongly accusing someone. What are you getting so worked up for, Chairman?"

Joe’s face flushed crimson. "Utter nonsense! Old Mr. Reid, our Morris Family has shown nothing but sincerity, and this is how your Reid Family responds?"

Grandpa Reid, worried Joe might storm out, scowled. "Who’s been spreading rumors behind our backs? Who dared deceive you two boys! Selina is dead—Angelica is the one suffering most from her loss, and now someone dares accuse her of faking the will?!"

"Logan. Luke. You must say who it was—right now!"

Luke hesitated. "Are you sure you want to know? I’d hate to scare you all..."

He played his part with theatric flair. "Especially Chairman Morris and Angelica—what if you die of shock right here? Then I’ll be blamed. Eh, forget it. Better not say anything."

"Luke!" Joe shouted, veins bulging. "Let’s see who could possibly scare me!"

Angelica also wiped her tears and spoke softly, "Logan, I love you so much, yet you choose to believe a stranger..."

"I have a clear conscience. No matter who comes forward, I’m not afraid. She should be the one afraid, not me."

She spoke with such conviction that anyone unaware of the truth might have believed her. Even Luke had to admit—it sounded pretty convincing.

"Well then," Luke said, "let’s bring her out."

Logan nodded calmly. "Angelica, I hope you’re as confident as you say." frёeωebɳovel.com

Angelica lifted her chin proudly. "I was surprised by the will myself, but unless Selina herself returns, no one can prove it’s fake! I’d love to see who dares say otherwise—"
