Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 31

"Dad, that guy really is just a mechanic. He's built like a brute, and just because I argued with him a little, he used the public PA system in the mall to humiliate me!"

Serena Sutton pulled out the video her friend had recorded.

The moment she tapped play, a loud voice echoed out: "Director Silas Sutton of The Summit Plaza, your daughter is harassing customers. Please come down and handle her!"

Silas Sutton's expression darkened.

It was exactly the kind of thing a vulgar thug would do!

Serena continued, "But it looks like Sloane and that guy are practically glued at the hip. They were even putting on a fake show of wealth and bought a three-thousand-dollar dress."

Silas's face grew even grimmer.

Valentine Towers.

It was already nine in the evening.

Sloane hand-washed her new dress and took it out to the balcony to dry.

After hanging it up, she stared at the fabric for a long while.

The image of Logan stepping up to defend her kept replaying in her mind.

As she was lost in thought, Logan's voice drifted over from behind her.

"You really like that dress?"

Sloane turned around to see Logan dressed in comfortable loungewear, looking incredibly fresh and clean.

She nodded. "Yeah."

Logan looked at the dress as well. "When you find something you like, you have to fight for it. Otherwise, what you love will never truly be yours."

"..." Sloane knew he was hinting at something deeper.

But she had never been the competitive type.

Aside from her exams and her studies, she rarely fought for anything.

Logan spoke again. "That girl causing trouble today was your half-sister, wasn't she?"

"Yes."

"Which means your father must be very wealthy," Logan deduced.

Sloane instinctively replied, "His money has nothing to do with me. We hardly ever talk."

She never brought up her father to anyone.

Logan chuckled. "Don't worry, I have no intention of trying to climb the social ladder through my father-in-law. Us mechanics have our pride, too."

"I didn't... I didn't mean it like that."

Just then, both of their bio-bands chimed with a new notification.
