Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573: Digging Their Own Grave

"Reid Family Group is dealt with?"

Logan nodded. "It won’t be long before Reid Family Group declares bankruptcy."

That shattered Owen’s dreams completely.

Selina raised a brow. "But your true identity still hasn’t been revealed. You can’t keep living under the name of Amelia’s son forever."

Logan’s lips curved in a wry smile. "DNA testing is useless."

Selina nodded. "So?"

"You and Joe are no longer father and daughter, but in reality, if a paternity test were done, your DNA would still match."

"And it’s the same with me and Amelia."

They both knew Joe and Amelia were not their real parents. But...

Selina said, "I’ve thought of something. The Hill Family had drugs that could cloud a person’s mind. Could it be they also had a drug that could alter test results?"

Logan looked at her. "That’s what I suspect as well."

Logan believed any drug’s effect had limits, but he couldn’t wait until then. He had to deal with Amelia first, then trace where that drug came from—and why both he and Selina had been given ’parents’ that weren’t truly theirs.

Selina asked curiously, "So what’s your plan?"

Logan’s eyes held meaning. "The way you broke free from Joe—I can do the same with Amelia."

That was indeed a solution...

Selina blinked. "That reminds me—about Duke William’s proposed business marriage with the Reid Family, and how Amelia once saved Miss Paula’s life."

Logan’s smile deepened. "Mm. Looks like you and I are thinking the same thing, Mrs. Reid."

...

These past few days, Amelia had been utterly humiliated.

Reid Family Group collapsed, its stock plummeting, only one step away from bankruptcy.

Who would have thought a corporation as vast as Reid Family Group could fall so fast, so suddenly, without warning?

Once, Amelia had been the lofty Madam Reid, untouchable. But now, everyone knew Reid Family Group’s downfall was her and Owen’s fault, and gossip spread like wildfire.

They said she wasn’t half the woman Anna had been. With Anna around, Reid Family Group had thrived. Even Daniel had only found his footing with Anna’s help.

In the end, Amelia not only forced her way in as the mistress who destroyed her sister, she also dragged Reid Family Group to bankruptcy, bringing Perry Family down with it.

So much for a "lucky foster daughter." She was clearly a jinx. Perry Family had no eyes at all, abandoning the true heiress Anna for her.

Amelia’s head throbbed violently, her face twisted. No—there was still a way. There had to be...

"Dad, Miss Paula says if she can marry Logan, she’ll put up another two hundred billion. You just have to make Logan marry her. You’re his real father—he has to obey you!"

Owen’s desperate plea rang out from nearby.

Amelia’s head snapped up as a sudden thought struck her.

Yes. Yes! No matter what, she was still Logan’s biological mother!

Daniel growled in frustration. "Can you stop dreaming? You really think Logan can still be controlled by me?"

Even if Logan could be, was Selina someone so easy to deal with?

Amelia rushed to him. "Daniel, Daniel, it can work! Even if Reid Family Group is gone, Logan is my son. If he refuses, it would be unfilial. It can work, it can work!"

"Daniel, help me contact the media. I don’t believe he’d dare reject me in front of them. Just get Logan here, and I’ll handle the rest. Help me—please—this is our last chance!"

Daniel only frowned.

But truly, he had no way out now. He had never imagined that son of his could be so ruthless, leaving them no path to survival.

Even if he had caused Anna’s death, even if he had nearly gotten Logan killed—Logan was still his son. How could he dare treat him like this?
