Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 23

Stefan unwillingly slapped his phone onto the table.

As he lifted his gaze, all the senior executives of the room were silently watching him.

Lucinda quickly sent the pictures to his phone.

After carefully selecting for a while, Stefan picked out a bed and replied to Lucinda. Only then did he calmly address everyone, "Let's get this meeting started!"

His face was serious, his voice deep and cold. This was the Mr. Coleman they were familiar with.

The Mr. Coleman just now was really scary.

Had they not seen it for themselves, they would have never believed that Mr. Coleman could be so gentle towards a woman.

Meanwhile, at Ascend Estate, an unexpected guest arrived - Ruby.

Before her arrival, Ruby had called Savannah Blue Anderson, who was Stefan's grandmother.

In Ascend Estate, Stefan was the one in charge, but Savannah's status was higher than Stefan. Her favorite was her grandson Stefan, and Stefan was very filial to his grandmother. Their relationship was very close.

Ruby wanted to pursue Stefan again, but she needed someone to help her.

Savannah was the helper Ruby had chosen.

As long as Savannah was willing to help her, she believed that one day, she could make Stefan fall in love with her and want to marry her.

After all, they grew up together and liked each other.

In the past, she was too young and naive. After being rejected by Stefan, she went abroad out of embarrassment, wasting ten years of her life.

Now, Ruby regretted it very much.

She thought that if she knew to be close to his family, she might have been his wife by now, and perhaps they might even have had a child.

In the garden, Savannah was wielding a pair of large scissors, trimming the branches in the flower bed.

Not far away, her husband Patrick Anderson was crouching in the flower bed, loosening the soil and fertilizing the flowers.

A maid led Ruby over.

"Sir, ma'am, Ms. Scott is here."

Savannah looked at Ruby and smiled, "Ruby, it's been a while. You're still as beautiful and charming as ever, even more mature and capable than the last time you came back. It seems you've been doing well these past years."

Ruby came over, naturally took the watering can from Savannah's hand, and took over watering the plants.

She laughed and said, "You haven't changed a bit either. Life abroad is stressful, but I have to work hard, right?"

Ruby was successful in her career. She was in the fashion industry, and her designs were selling like hot cakes.

She worked so hard because she wanted to be worthy of Stefan.

Stefan was the CEO of Ascend Global. If she didn't have the ability, she couldn't help Stefan in his business.

She wanted to be Stefan's woman and also wanted to fight alongside Stefan.

This required a lot of effort from her.

Ruby turned to the old man tending to the soil and greeted, "Patrick."

Patrick seemed not to hear, still focused on his task.

"Ruby, Patrick's getting on in years, his hearing's not what it used to be. You have to speak up for him to hear."

Ruby quickly said, "I bought Patrick a hearing aid."

"He doesn't like wearing that device, and we have a lot of children at home, he doesn't need it."

They had five sons and one daughter.

The five sons gave them ten grandsons. Their daughter who married into another family also gave birth to a son, but no daughters.

Maybe because they lacked granddaughters, Savannah adored young girls. She had always liked Ruby since Ruby was young and treated her like her own granddaughter.
