Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587: Power Struggles, Old and New

The driver shuddered at Logan’s words. Logan no longer spared him a glance.

"My phone got smashed in the crash. Yours—" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

His gaze dropped, noticing Selina’s phone still wedged inside the wreck. He pulled it free; it worked, but there was no signal.

Logan’s eyes flickered when he saw the video recording on the screen. He casually tapped "end recording."

"I sent Jack my location earlier. He should be here soon. As for the Hill Family, they’ll probably just think you’re running late."

Selina gave a cold laugh.

Logan added, "Once Jack gets here, use his phone to call Aaron so he won’t worry. But as for those hoping you’d be ’late’—or hoping you’d end up dead—how do you plan to handle them?"

Selina’s eyes narrowed. She was never the type to cut the weeds and leave no roots; with this driver alive, plus the video and audio evidence, she’d naturally wring out every advantage.

While bandaging her own hand, her face remained expressionless.

The antiseptic burned all the way down to the bone. Her brows knit slightly. Then, suddenly, an idea sparked.

"Can you make the wound look worse?"

Ethan froze. "Huh?"

Selina studied her hand, lips curving in a sly, half-smile.

"Take a guess—what do you think the Hill Family is saying about me right now?"

Ethan arched a brow, glancing at Logan behind the wheel, then hazarded a guess.

"Uh... that you’re late? That you’re being disrespectful?"

"Exactly."

Selina’s smile deepened. "So let’s make my injury look even more serious."

Ethan shivered. Damn, Selina was still as ruthless as ever.

Logan kept his eyes on the road, expression steady.

Ruthless? He only wished Mrs. Reid would be even crueler. Either way, anything she couldn’t handle, he would.
