Hannah sighed helplessly. "Let’s just wait a little longer. It’s fine. No matter when Selina arrives, we’ll wait for her. After all, she’s the long-lost young lady of the Hill Family."
The moment her words fell, the sharp screech of brakes cut through the air—
Two cars pulled up right at the Hill Family gates, drawing everyone’s attention.
As soon as Logan stepped out, people immediately recognized him.
"That’s Mr. Reid."
"Which Mr. Reid?"
"The Reid showing up at the Hill Family—who else could it be? That’s Logan, the head of Reid Group."
"So that’s Logan? My God, seeing him in person for the first time... I didn’t expect him to carry such presence!"
And on top of that, he was strikingly handsome.
Several socialites and society wives sneaked a few extra glances—after all, who doesn’t enjoy looking at someone so good-looking?
But if Logan was here, then Selina must have come as well, right?
Hannah exchanged a glance with Matt and bit her lip in secret.
Impossible. Selina had to be dead. That driver was someone Hannah herself had trained. She had given him plenty of benefits—he would’ve carried out the task for sure. How could Selina still be alive?
Hannah’s face shifted, changing color again and again. Even Matt’s expression darkened at the thought that Selina might actually have survived.
In the end, Hannah forced herself to step forward, biting back her irritation and putting on a welcoming smile. "Logan, you’re finally here."
Logan didn’t bother to play along. "Ms. Hill, I don’t think we’re that familiar."
Hannah’s face drained a shade paler, and she cursed silently.
Sure enough, just like that little wretch Selina, her husband was equally revolting!
But with so many eyes watching, and with Logan being the head of Reid Group—someone she absolutely needed on her side—Hannah quickly shot a glance at Ava in the distance.
She had to keep Logan under her control, just like she had with Victoria and Selina—make them lose their lovers, lose their families, lose everything.
So no matter how much she despised it, she had to push her niece to get close to Logan.
—If her own daughter couldn’t pull it off, then her niece would. Surely Logan wasn’t such a saint that he’d turn down one beautiful young woman after another practically throwing themselves at him, right?
Catching the signal, Ava stepped forward with a delicate, bashful expression, about to speak—only for Logan to cut her off without giving her the slightest chance.
"I wonder, Ms. Hill, what are you and Old Mr. Hill doing standing out here?" Logan asked flatly.
Ava’s carefully practiced shyness shattered in an instant. She bit her lip in frustration.
Hannah’s eyes flickered, and she quickly put on a pitiful, self-sacrificing air. "We’ve been waiting for Selina, of course. Since she just returned home, I, as family, wanted to give her a proper welcome—so she wouldn’t feel neglected. But... we’ve been waiting for over an hour. I thought maybe she wasn’t coming. Thank goodness she finally did, or else all this waiting would’ve been in vain."
The words painted her as both resilient and wronged, while subtly calling out Selina for being "inconsiderate."
No one dared say anything outright, but judging from their looks, many were clearly displeased with Selina.
Making her elders wait outside for so long, with no explanation? That wasn’t just willful—it was downright disrespectful.
Hannah’s gaze gleamed.
Even if Logan knew Selina was late because of a car accident, so what? With so many people criticizing Selina, if Logan kept defending her, the blame would fall on him too.
So of course he wouldn’t—
And yet, the very next moment, Logan nodded calmly and stepped aside. "Didn’t you say you wanted to welcome Selina, Ms. Hill? She’s right there in the car. Go ahead."
