Chapter 202: Taking Back What Rightfully Belongs to Me "Mrs. Reid certainly isnât shy when it comes to praising herself."
Selina felt a breath stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down. Her face turned bright red. "You, you..."
She stammered for a long time but couldnât manage to say anything coherent.
Her brain seemed to freeze completely.
Ahhh! This man! He had obviously known everything all along, yet he still deliberately lured her into a trap!
Selina decided to throw caution to the wind and lifted her chin stubbornly. "Iâm this amazingâwhatâs wrong with giving myself some credit?"
Logan raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing. "Thatâs true."
Selina felt like she was choking on air.
Right at that moment, Jack handed over a document. Logan took it and casually said, "Hereâs the contract. Take a look."
Selina skimmed through it and suddenly spotted a name. "Ethereal Luxe... Youâre giving me this studio?"
"To collaborate with Star, sincerity is a must."
Selinaâs mind raced. "But as far as I know, this studio isnât under your name."
Ethereal Luxe was Reid Groupâs high-end luxury brand, tightly controlled by Amelia.
Loganâs expression was unreadable. "Not yet. Thatâs why I need to make a trip to the Reid Family estate."
Selina: "?"
So... he was going to the Reid Family estate to take it from Amelia?
This was going to be fun to watch!
Selina quickly cleared her throat. "Since itâs going to be my studio, I should contribute too. Iâm coming with you!"
Logan didnât expose her obvious curiosity for the upcoming drama. "Alright."
The next day at noon, Logan took Selina to the Reid Family estate.
The guards at the entrance stiffened the moment they saw him. "Young Master, why are you here?"
Logan didnât spare them a glance and walked straight in.
Panicked, one of the guards stepped forward to block him. "The chairman and madam are having lunch right now. If you have any business, I can report it for youâ"
Selina raised an eyebrow. "Logan, isnât this your home? Why do you need to check in with a guard just to enter? Whoâs the real master here?"
The guardâs face darkened. "Young Master, this is Madamâs rule. You cannotâ"
Jack swiftly stepped forward, blocking the guard. Logan remained expressionless. "Letâs go."
Selina blinked and quickly followed.
She could already imagine how ugly Ameliaâs face was about to look.
Meanwhile, in the Reid estate dining room...
Amelia, Daniel, and Owen had just sat down to eat when a maid rushed in anxiously. "Chairman, Madam, the Young Master is here!"
The expressions of everyone at the table immediately turned sour. Amelia frowned in displeasure. "Didnât I say Logan needs to be reported first before entering?"
"We couldnât stop him, Madam! He forced his way in, weâ"
With a loud clatter, Amelia slammed her chopsticks onto the table, startling the maid. "That ungrateful son! Does he even respect me anymore?"
freeÏebnovÄl.c૦m Owen quickly tried to calm her down. "Mom, donât be angry. Maybe Brother has something urgent to discuss?"
Amelia sneered. "Even if he does, he should know his place. He just canât shake off those backwater habits!"
"What kind of family keeps their own son locked out of the house while their adopted son gets a seat at the dinner table?"
Selina strode in with a meaningful smirk. "Oh... I see, thatâs the Reid Familyâs rule."
Ameliaâs face flushed white, then red. "Selina?! Logan, you brought this woman here to disrupt our meal? Do you have no conscience? Is this how a son should behave?"
Selina blinked innocently. "Itâs mealtime. Canât Logan come home for a meal? Wow, the mighty Reid Family is really so poor they canât even spare a bite for their own son?"
"Ridiculous! Youâyouâ"
Owen quickly patted Ameliaâs back to calm her down. "Big Brother, what are you doing? You know Momâs health isnât good, yet youâre deliberately upsetting her. Canât you just talk things out properly?"
Selina clicked her tongue twice. "Logan, how pitiful. You havenât even said a word, and theyâve already slapped such a huge accusation on you."
"Enough!" Daniel frowned. "Logan, since you rarely come home, just say what you came for."
Selina turned her gaze to the chairman of the Reid Family.
This was one of the culprits who drove Anna into despair, leading to her depression and ultimate demise...
Loganâs expression remained unchanged. He got straight to the point. "Iâm here to reclaim the shares of Ethereal Luxe. Chairman Reid, sign the papers."
A set of equity transfer documents, along with an agreement for the change in ownership of Ethereal Luxe, landed in front of Daniel.
Ameliaâs face instantly twisted with rage. "I knew you wouldnât be here for anything good! Logan, are you even human? Youâre trying to take away your own motherâs company!"
Owen quickly chimed in, "Big Brother, donât you think youâre going too far? Mom has put a lot of effort into Ethereal Luxe over the years. Even if she doesnât get credit, she at least deserves some acknowledgment. How can you just take it away like that?"
Daniel suppressed his anger. "Logan, transferring the ownership of Ethereal Luxe isnât that simple, youâ"
"Chairman Reid."
Logan coldly interrupted him, his voice frigid, his gaze devoid of warmth.
"Iâm not asking for your permission. Iâm informing you."
Danielâs fingers trembled.
Jack stepped forward respectfully. "Chairman Reid, Ethereal Luxe originally belonged to Mr. Reid. It was Mrs. Perry who used underhanded means to seize it. Now that Mr. Reid is taking it back, it is only right and proper."
"If the two of you are dissatisfied, youâre welcome to sue. However, once word gets out that the esteemed Madam Reid has been occupying her own sonâs business, the consequences... well, that wonât be something Mr. Reid will be able to control."
Danielâs facial muscles twitched violently. "Youâyou ungrateful sonâ"
Logan casually tapped his fingers. "Sign it."
Swallowing his humiliation, Daniel begrudgingly signed his name.
Ameliaâs complexion turned even paler. This was her golden goose! Ethereal Luxe was a brand beloved by countless socialites, generating nearly a billion dollars in annual profits for her. And now Logan had just taken it from her so effortlessly?!
That bastard!
Owen felt like his heart was bleeding. Amelia had promised him that Ethereal Luxe would be his one day, yet now it had fallen into Loganâs hands.
Damn it! Damn it!
Suddenly, an idea struck him. Gritting his teeth, he forced a brotherly smile.
"Big Brother, since youâre already here, why donât we have a meal together as a family?"
Selina raised an eyebrow in surprise. Wow. Is this the self-restraint of an adopted son? He really knows how to endure.
Loganâs expression was indifferent. "Are you sure?"
Owenâs facial muscles twitched slightly. "Not at home, of course. Letâs go to Ambrosia. Itâs been a long time since youâve been there, hasnât it?"
Ambrosia was a well-known luxury restaurant.
Selina was just wondering what Owen was plotting when he spoke again, this time with a triumphant undertone.
"After all, Ambrosia was your hard-earned achievement back in the day. But ever since you transferred it to me, youâve never visited again. Now that youâre free, why donât we all go and take a look? What do you say?"
Selina: "..."
