Chapter 340: Testing the Results of Her Studies Selina: "..."
Yep. This was definitely Logan coming to settle accounts.
But how was she supposed to explain this? She couldnât just throw Luke under the busâespecially not after heâd gone so far as to claim he liked men just to cover for her.
Selina, loyal to a fault, racked her brain under Loganâs deepening gaze. Then suddenlyâlightbulb moment.
"Logan, you misunderstood! I was actually there to learn something."
Logan raised a brow. "You went to a bar... to learn?"
"Yes!" Selina said, completely serious. "You might not believe it, but I was doing it for you."
Logan: "..."
Well, she was right about one thingâhe didnât believe it.
Selina clenched her teeth and doubled down. "I went to learn how to make you happier!"
Loganâs brow arched higher. "Go on, Iâm listening."
"You know Iâve only ever dated that jerk Ryan, and even that doesnât really count. I donât have any real dating experience, so I wanted to understand what kinds of things men like. What kind of gifts they enjoy, how I should treat you, what I can do better."
She started to believe her own story, too. "But I donât know many guys, and my classmates at school arenât exactly experiencedâso I figured, men at bars have seen it all. Thatâs why I went. Logan, how could you think the worst of me?"
There was a long silence.
Then Loganâs lips curved into a slow smile. "Is that so?"
"Thatâs right!"
"Alright. Got it." He turned and walked toward the door. "Letâs go. Time to head home."
Selina blinked.
Waitâwhat?
Thatâs it?
He just... believed her?
She had snuck out to a bar, surrounded herself with a dozen gigolos, and not only was Logan not madâhe was driving her home?
Her heart swelled with emotion. The feeling stayed with her through her post-shower routine.
Luke had been put to bed in the guest room. Logan had showered in another bathroom so Selina could use the main one.
Half an hour later, she stepped out in a robe. "Itâs late. Why arenât you in bed?"
"I was waiting for you."
"For what?" she asked, puzzled.
"You said you went to the bar to learn something."
He paused, voice low and husky. "So now, Iâm here to test your results."
Selina: "..."
Wait. Test the resultsâwhat results?!
Before she could react, her robe slipped to the floor. A chill passed over her bare skin, making her shiver.
Loganâs fingers lightly traced her collarbone, a playful smirk on his lips.
"In Mrs. Reidâs lesson plan... I assume marital duties were included too?"
Selinaâs brain went blank. freÄwebnovel.com So this was what they meant by "hoist with your own petard." She wasnât getting any sleep tonight, that was for sure.
...
The next morning at 10 a.m., Luke finally sobered upâonly to find Selina still hadnât come downstairs.
He was shocked. "How is someone sleeping in later than me? Selinaâs actually sleeping in?"
Logan, knowing exactly why Selina was still in bed, paused slightly as he set down the newspaper. "Why did you go to the bar last night?"
Luke muttered, "Because you stirred up some love drama."
"Because of Angelica?" Loganâs gaze darkened.
"Duh!" Luke flared up. "How can someone be that shameless? Saying sheâs pregnant with your kidâwhatâs her next move, trying to marry in by playing the baby card?"
"No need to get worked up."
Luke got more worked up. "And thatâs not all..."
He hesitated, then said more quietly, "Mom and Dad even let Angelica move into the Reid estate. Said it was so she could rest during the pregnancy.
Now the gossipâs everywhereâpeople are saying since Angelicaâs been taken into the Reid Family, the baby must be yours. Are they all out of their minds?"
Logan narrowed his eyes.
Theyâd brought Angelica into the Reid Family...
It wasnât his child, yet his so-called "biological parents" were rushing to claim it as their own.
"Angelicaâs got the Morris Family backing her too. Joe always had such a great reputationâIâve met him before, seemed like a reasonable guy. I didnât expect him to turn into someone who canât even tell right from wrong, all for Angelica."
Luke muttered under his breath, "Logan, what are you planning to do about this?"
"Handle it?" Logan finished the last sip of his coffee, calm as ever. "Naturally... Iâll collect evidence. Iâm a law-abiding citizen, after all."
Luke: "..."
Why did that sound so ominous?
...
Upstairs.
When Selina woke up, her whole body ached. She gritted her teeth and struggled in bed for a while before finally sitting up.
She was cleaned up, neat and tidyâbut that deep, bone-deep feeling wouldnât go away.
...That damn man. What did he think she was, a bone to be chewed up and gnawed on from head to toe?
Logan, ever the gentleman, brought breakfast to her room. After eating, Selina crawled back into bed and started scrolling on her phone.
#AngelicaQuitsEntertainmentIndustry #AngelicaPregnant #AngelicaBabyLoganReid Three trending hashtags lit up the platform, and Selina raised an eyebrow.
She scanned the comments, her expression darkening. It was obviousâthe Morris Family had stepped in.
At first, the comments were relatively balanced:
"Wait, Angelica is pregnant with Mr. Reidâs kid? But Loganâs married... is this cheating or is she trying to climb the ladder?"
"This is sketchy. Angelicaâs way too close to her sisterâs husband. One minute sheâs exposed for setting up her sister, the next minute sheâs moving into Reid Familyâs house? Major green tea vibes..."
"That poor baby. Angelicaâs supposed to be the eldest daughter of the Morris Family. Maybe she should just terminate the pregnancyâno need to ruin someone elseâs marriage. Her adoptive mom was a mistress, does she want to be one too?"
But soon, the comments turned bizarre. Ordinary users couldnât even post. Anyone who didnât support Angelica was getting banned or warned.
"Doctors already said if Angelica aborts this child, she might never get pregnant again. Are you monsters seriously trying to take away a womanâs right to be a mother? Itâs her babyâshe has every right to keep it! Selina needs to back off!"
"Oh my God, is Mrs. Reid forcing Angelica to get an abortion? What a b*tch! Why is she pushing Angelica to the edge?"
"Illegitimate children have equal inheritance rights now. Angelicaâs baby is the future heir of Reid Group! Selina better be nice, wait on Angelica hand and foot during her pregnancy. If her kid inherits Reid Group, maybe heâll toss Selina a bone someday!"

ï¤Chapter 339: Caught Red-Handed Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback ï¤Chapter 811 - 430 inducer Selinaâs eyes narrowed. When she saw that line about "equal inheritance rights between illegitimate and legitimate children," it suddenly clicked.
No wonder Angelica had been brought into the Reid Family.
That was the real game plan.
