"He knew full well that you had to marry someone from the Carter Family to reclaim your inheritance, yet he still kept the truth from you and deliberately misled you. Add in his murky relationship with Angelica…"
Jacob raised a brow. "So, Miss Clark, do you hate him now?"
Selina snapped back to reality. "What does that have to do with you?"
Jacob gave a faint smile. "Of course it has something to do with me. After all, I was the one you originally planned to marry. If you no longer like Logan, doesn't that mean I might have a chance?"
Selina's expression didn't waver. "Sorry, Mr. Carter. You're overthinking it."
Jacob didn't seem bothered. "I figured you'd say that. I'm not trying to pressure you. Actually, I have another way to help you reclaim your inheritance—one that doesn't involve marriage."
Selina arched a brow, sensing there was more to the story.
Sure enough, Jacob continued, "All I ask is for you to attend a private party I'm hosting."
