Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 423

“Let’s go.” Logan took Theresa by the hand and led her out.

Theresa still hadn’t fully processed what had happened—yet it was already over.

Once they were outside the foot spa, Logan pressed one hand to his arm, but blood was still seeping out.

“Logan, your arm… I’m taking you to the hospital right now!” Theresa said anxiously.

They hurried to grab a cab and went to the nearest hospital.

The doctor stopped the bleeding, and Logan took off his shirt.

Theresa watched from outside the curtain, uneasy.

His back was covered in scars—he must have been in fights more times than she could count.

She used to look down on him as some street punk, but just now he’d been—honestly—cool. Dominating. Fearless.

And his arm injury was serious. He’d taken that stab for her. Otherwise, she’d be the one lying there.

Quietly, Theresa slipped out and bought him a new shirt.

When she returned, the doctor had already finished treating him.

“Where’d you go?” Logan asked, looking up.

“Went out to buy you clothes. Yours were soaked through with blood.”

Theresa took the shirt out and helped him put it on herself.

Seeing him up close, she realized that although there were scars—marks left by years of trouble—his skin tone was surprisingly nice.

Not sun-bronzed, but fairly pale.

And his muscles… defined. Wasn’t this what people called the “built” type?

With clothes on, he didn’t look like much—he didn’t even seem big.

But once the shirt was off, he was solid.

“What are you looking at?” Logan asked. “Checking out my body?”

Theresa’s face flushed. “Who’s checking you out? Have some shame.”

Theresa hadn’t expected him to see straight through her.

Back then, when she dared to curse Richard Blake out, she’d been gambling—gambling that Logan might show up.

“But you didn’t have to come,” she said. “He had so many men. What if you’d gotten killed?”

“Mr. Ellington told me to protect you,” Logan said with a small smile. “Even if it cost me my life, I’d still have to protect you, silly girl.”

Theresa: “...”

Suddenly, she understood her father’s intention.

Why he’d arranged for Logan to stay by her side—it really was for protection.

“Oh, and one more thing,” Logan added. “I think Richard Blake was targeting you on purpose.”

“Targeting me?”

“Yeah. Normally, you’re just a sales rep. Even if he didn’t want to work with you, there’d be no need to send that many people to make things hard for you. The only explanation that makes sense is someone put him up to it—to go after you.”

“I get it!” Theresa blurted out. “It’s either my second uncle or my third uncle. Most likely my second uncle. After what happened with the cafeteria last time, I got two of his people removed—he’s been holding a grudge ever since.”
