Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 581

Chapter 581: Mutual Disdain

Amelia’s scalp prickled as a sudden sense of dread washed over her. She instinctively stumbled back two steps, alarms blaring in her mind.

Then she saw the kidnapper pull off his mask.

...That face!

Amelia’s pupils dilated in horror, a piercing scream tearing from her throat—

"Ahhh!"

It was Jaxon! Others might not recognize him, but she did. Jaxon—the shadowy second-in-command at Logan’s side. Jack was in the open, but Jaxon worked in the dark. Almost no one knew he existed, but she knew all too well.

If Jaxon was the one who kidnapped Owen, then this entire abduction had been orchestrated by Logan from the very beginning...

And just now, what had she said? No, no... even if Jaxon knew, so what? No one would believe it, as long as—

"Amelia is vicious beyond words. The Perry Family clothed her and fed her, and what did she do? She murdered their true daughter, stole her child, and drove her to depression and death!"

"The Perry Family once called her a lucky star? Look at them now—look at the Reid Family now. Lucky star? More like a curse!"

"I used to think she wasn’t worthy of being Mrs. Reid, but now that I think about it, Reid Family Group is bankrupt. She and Daniel are a perfect match."

"Exactly! And that useless Owen—three of a kind. The whole family are nothing but trash. Perfectly fitting!"

Curses spilled in from outside.

With a loud bang, the door to the lounge was kicked open. Several bodyguards stormed in and yanked Amelia up without hesitation. She thrashed and shrieked in terror.

"What are you doing! I’m Mrs. Reid! How dare you treat me like this?! Let go! Let go of me!"

"Mrs. Reid, huh?" one of the bodyguards sneered. "What a joke. After everything you’ve done, your dirty secrets aren’t secrets anymore."

"Grandma Perry—no, Lady Green—has already filed charges against you! Swapping children, killing the rightful wife... one crime after another. You and Daniel can rot in prison together!"

Amelia’s whole body went weak as she was dragged back into the hall. Her face turned deathly pale under the barrage of contemptuous stares.

Those looks were all too familiar.

Back when Anna, the true heiress, returned, people looked at Amelia this way because she was just an adopted daughter. Later, when she finally forced her way into the Reid Family, people looked at her the same way, calling her a mistress.

Why? Why...

Ahhh! How did Logan know?!

The secret she had buried for a lifetime was laid bare, exposed for all to see. Why?!

But then—terror clawed up her spine. Without that fabricated mother-son bond, how could she suppress Logan? How could she pave the way for Owen?

Most terrifying of all... what about the marriage alliance with the William family?

Amelia shivered from head to toe, but before she could speak, Selina’s soft laugh cut through the silence.

"Ah, it seems Mrs. Amelia has finally realized."
