Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle'-Chapter 375: The Will

After so many days of observation, Angelica was finally convinced—Selina was truly dead.

Most of the staff at Sapphire Valley Villa had been dismissed, and Miller Butler now only delivered meals for one. The entire villa was shrouded in a heavy, sorrowful atmosphere.

Angelica could barely contain her excitement. Her face flushed red from holding back laughter—finally!

"Dad, I think Logan has accepted reality. Let’s go talk to him."

Joe nodded. "Angelica, once you marry Logan, it’ll be a wish fulfilled. I can finally give your mother an answer."

What Joe couldn’t understand was why Kyle seemed so lost lately. Selina was dead—so what? It wasn’t that big of a deal.

"Angelica, call Logan. Let’s go to the Reid Family and talk things through."

Angelica wiped away imaginary tears. "Alright. I’ll also make Selina’s will public, just like she wanted. I never imagined she cared about me that much..."

Joe, unaware the will was fabricated by Angelica, sighed.

"Don’t overthink it. Her death was her own doing. You’re not to blame. But the fact she came to her senses at the end... well, that’s something."

...

Meanwhile...

Logan was visiting the Reid Family, while Selina was at home scrolling through Twitter—only to stumble upon her own will.

Honestly, stumbling across your own will online? That’s a first.

Curious, Selina clicked the link to see what kind of "ending" Angelica had crafted for her.

A photo of a handwritten will appeared. Selina raised an eyebrow—it really did look like her handwriting. Angelica had clearly put some effort into this.

The entire document was filled with fake inner monologues. Written from "Selina’s" perspective, it twisted all the injustices she’d suffered at the Clark Family into "playful moments between sisters."

And at the end, "Selina" supposedly wrote: freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"I want to leave 80% of my assets to Angelica, including my studio and my mother’s inheritance. I believe she’s the best person to take care of them."

"Logan, after I’m gone, please take good care of Angelica for me—as compensation for the harm I caused her. I know she’s always loved you. If you can’t find anyone else, marry her. I can’t bear to see Angelica suffer alone, nor can I bear to see you grow old in solitude."

Selina: "...?"

Wait, what? Is this for real? Could it get more ridiculous?

She checked the comments.

"I think I misunderstood Selina before. She wasn’t against Angelica. She just didn’t know how to express her love for her sister."

Selina: "...I underestimated how insane this could get."

"Selina didn’t expect an accident during her trip, so this will was her final heartfelt words. We should honor her wishes."

"This sisterly love is so touching. Everyone who used to bash Angelica, take a look—if they didn’t hold a grudge, why should you feel the need to speak up for Selina?"

"I really hope Mr. Reid marries Angelica. She loves him, and it was his late wife’s dying wish..."

Angelica herself had been giving multiple interviews, always bursting into tears in front of the camera, promising to manage Selina’s business and look after Logan—hoping Selina could rest in peace.

The "will" trended repeatedly, and even voices of doubt were drowned out by Angelica’s fans.

Those same fans who had viciously attacked Selina days ago were now gushing about the "beautiful bond between sisters." Their hypocrisy was so fast it made even Selina speechless.

She suddenly became curious—when she made her "miraculous return," what kinds of faces would these people make?

Reid Family Residence.

Logan stepped into the sitting room, his gaze sweeping across Grandpa Reid and Joe before finally landing on Angelica. His voice was cold and commanding:

"The will."

Tears welled in Angelica’s eyes as she sobbed, her hands trembling as she pulled out two sheets of paper.

"Logan... I’m sorry, I really am. I never thought Selina would actually die..."

Logan suppressed the scorn in his eyes, choosing—for now—to keep playing along with their little act.

He gave the will a quick glance. The handwriting was nearly identical to Selina’s.

His voice dropped a few degrees colder as he asked deliberately,

"Then why does the internet say she died in a boating accident? She was clearly driven to her death—by you."

Joe’s expression stiffened. He couldn’t deny Angelica’s part in Selina’s death... but Selina had "forgiven" her in that will. So did the cause even matter anymore?

Angelica sobbed louder, seizing the moment.

"Logan, that’s one of the reasons I asked you to come... I know Selina’s death is largely because of me. If you want to make it public and let the world condemn me, I won’t fight it. But her last wish... was for us to stay good sisters."

"If you expose the real cause of her death, then in the eyes of the world, we were never close. Would you really let Selina down like that?"

Logan looked down, lips twisted in mock sympathy, his voice hoarse:

"Then what do you want to do?"

This time, it was Grandpa Reid who spoke.

"Logan, I know Selina’s passing has hit you hard. But the fact remains—she’s gone. You have to look ahead."

"She left a will. So we’ll honor it. The studio, the store, her mother’s inheritance—all go to Angelica. Everything else goes to you."

"And lastly... Selina said in the will she was worried about you being alone. Angelica loves you with all her heart. Selina wanted you to marry her. You were the two people she cared about most. If you could take care of each other after her death, she’d rest easy."

After Grandpa Reid finished, Angelica bit her lip and looked at Logan with a shy, hopeful expression.

Logan’s hands clenched into fists, his jaw tight.

Disgusting. They actually dared say these things?

Thank god Selina was still alive...

If she had died, would these people have milked every last ounce of value from her death—just to pave Angelica’s road forward?

Angelica wept softly, her tone suggestive.

"Logan... I understand it’s too soon for you to accept everything. But if this is what Selina truly wished for... wouldn’t you want to help her rest in peace?"

Her final wish? What a joke.

Thinking of Selina safe at home, Logan felt the fury in his chest ease slightly.

He lowered his eyes, acting as if he’d been moved by her words. After a pause, he uttered a single word:

"Alright."

Angelica lit up instantly.

"That’s wonderful, Logan! Let’s set a date for the engagement soon. If Selina sees us together, I’m sure she’ll be at peace."

Her gaze flickered with dark satisfaction. Killing her wasn’t enough—they had to crush her soul too.

"I heard the seventh day after someone dies is when the spirit returns to visit. Why don’t we get engaged then? That way, Selina can reincarnate without worries."
