Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586: Not Welcome

Selina and Logan walked up to the gates of the estate, and sure enough, a luxury car was parked there, bearing the Hill Family crest.

A driver stood waiting at the entrance. When he saw Selina, he bowed respectfully, addressed her as "Miss," and then opened the rear door for her.

He was dressed in the Hill Family uniform, complete with their insignia. He was clearly a Hill Family driver.

Logan escorted her into the car. But the moment her door shut and Logan moved to get in on the other side, the driver slipped into the front seat and started the engine without a word—making it very clear that Logan was not welcome to ride along.

Selina narrowed her eyes. Aaron hadn’t said a word about excluding Logan from the gathering. In fact... Aaron would never make such a decision.

She frowned, ready to speak up, but the car had already pulled away.

Sitting back, Selina let her fingers brush the edge of the mirror, using its reflection to study the driver.

His brow was deeply furrowed. His face carried a harsh, dangerous edge... Was this man really just a driver? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Logan hasn’t gotten in yet," Selina said coolly. "The Hill Family has no reason to refuse his company at the banquet."

The driver’s voice was calm, almost detached. "My apologies, Miss. The Master instructed me to fetch you, and you alone. Perhaps you’re unaware, but not just anyone is permitted to ride in a Hill Family car. Without the Master’s orders, I can’t simply let another person in."

Selina’s eyes narrowed. "Stop the car."

Instead of stopping, the driver pressed harder on the gas.

"I’m sorry, Miss. I’m only following protocol. I ask for your understanding."

Selina fixed him with a sharp stare. "Protocol? Whose protocol are you following?"

"The Hill Family’s, of course."

"So you’re using the Hill Family’s rules to lecture me?"

The driver fell silent for a beat, then repeated, "My apologies, Miss. But as I said, this is my job. I follow the Master’s orders. If I disobeyed him today, I’d be dismissed tomorrow. Please understand."

"Are you truly following the Master’s orders... or someone else’s?"

The driver’s fingers tightened on the wheel, knuckles whitening. "Of course it’s the Master’s. I don’t see the point of these questions, Miss. Please remain calm. I’ll have you at the Hill Family estate shortly."

Selina’s instincts screamed that something was wrong.

She glanced at the locked doors. With the car moving this fast, jumping out wasn’t an option. Sitting in the backseat, lunging for the wheel wasn’t possible either...

She quietly tapped her phone, sending Logan a message.

Vroom—

Suddenly, the car surged forward. The force slammed Selina back into the seat, knocking the breath out of her. Her voice turned cold. "Stop the car!"

The driver ignored her, pushing the vehicle to an increasingly dangerous speed.

The road twisted into the mountains. Selina’s eyes narrowed. "Where are we? I said stop the car!"

"The Hill Family estate isn’t in the city, Miss. A home of that size can only be in the outskirts. The family owns the entire mountain. Today’s gathering is there. Mountain roads are dangerous—there will be some jolts. Please forgive the rough ride."

"If it’s dangerous, then stop. I demand another driver. The Hill Family would never refuse such a request!"

The driver said nothing more, refusing to answer, and kept driving.
