Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 100

"Owen was apologizing to me on behalf of Ruby. If you'd seen him throwing a stack of cash at me and insulting me just now, you wouldn't be asking so many questions."

Becca, "... Then, why would he say such a thing?"

"He's just getting back at me. He's madly in love with Ruby, mom, don't worry, Owen's got zero interest in me."

Becca asked doubtfully, "Is that really the case?"

"Absolutely, didn't he dupe you too? His aim was to make you blame me."

"Mom, don't believe a word Owen says. He's a total jerk. He's on bad terms with Mr. Coleman, Lucinda is Mr. Coleman's wife, and I'm friends with Lucinda. He can't possibly mean any good to me."

After understanding the situation, Becca felt relieved. Upon hearing that her daughter was humiliated by Owen with money, Becca chewed Owen out angrily over and over again, so much so that Owen kept sneezing on his way home.

He thought it was because his cold hadn't fully recovered, so he cussed Cecilia in his mind and decided to have the family doctor prescribe him medicine for a few more days.

He was always healthy, this was the first time a cold had hit him so hard.

All thanks to Cecilia!

......

Olina received an international call. It was from Ruby's mother, Megan.

"Olina, how have you been recently?" Megan greeted with a smile.

Her relationship with Olina and the Anderson family was good before she went abroad. Although the Martinez family and the Anderson family had conflicts, Megan was able to balance the two families. Ruby also benefited from her.

"I'm fine, how about you? When can you come back for a visit? We can catch up."

"Once Ruby's back, I'll surely come back frequently. We'll have plenty of time to meet up." Megan said with a smile, then suddenly changed the subject, "Olina, did Ruby get into trouble?"

"You've heard about it?"

"Even though I'm abroad, I follow the news back home. Ruby's issue has been the talk of the town in Pinehurst, I couldn't possibly not know."

"By the way, who's Lucinda? How come I've never heard of this person before? She actually married Stefan. Stefan has always been so arrogant. Ruby has liked him for years, butshe couldn't be with him. I didn't expect him to marry Lucinda."

Megan's words revealed her jealousy towards Lucinda. Ruby was deeply in love with Stefan, of course the Scott family fully supported her, but it was a pity that despite Ruby's affection for Stefan for so many years, there was no progress between them.

Now Stefan had married Lucinda directly.

Olina sneered, "She's just an ordinary girl. Stefan might have been charmed by her. That's why he married her. Or she might have schemed her way into Stefan's bed, forcing him to marry her."

Megan didn't agree with Olina's view. She saw the gossip news about Stefan and his wife and their marriage announcement. The way Stefan looked at Lucinda in the pictures was filled with affection. It was clearly not a marriage out of lack of options.

"Even without Stefan, we still have our Owen. Owen is genuinely in love with Ruby, he's just as good as Stefan."
