Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 232

Fiona and Janice didn't really care how Ruby's fall turned out, as long as Ruby didn't mess with Lucinda.

Ruby's arrival was just an accident. Lucinda was busy making snacks.

Just then, Stefan called her, and she had to take the call first.

"Hey, sweetheart."

As soon as the call was connected, Stefan's magnetic voice came through. Cecilia, who was nearby, could hear it, so she leaned over to Lucinda's ear and teased her in a low voice, "Can you smell the charm?"

Lucinda pushed her away, and Cecilia burst into laughter.

She really envied Lucinda, who lived such a blissful and sweet life.

"Sweetheart, aren't you busy?" Lucinda asked softly.

"Busy, yeah, but I missed you too much, so I found a moment to call you."

Lucinda giggled, "We just had lunch together."

"But whenever you're not by my side, I miss you every second."

"Lucinda, did something good happen? You sound pretty cheerful."

Actually, Stefan had just received a report from Zoey. Ruby went to the Serendipity Cafe again.

With the Blue family's bodyguard there, Stefan was not worried about Lucinda being bullied, but he could not help calling to check. He didn't want Lucinda to know that he had asked Zoey to secretly protect her, for fear that Lucinda would misunderstand that he was spying on her and controlling her.

"How did you know I was in a good mood?"

"I heard it from your laughter. Come on, share your good news with me so I can have a laugh, too."

Lucinda laughed, saying, "It's really nothing. Ms. Scott came to the cafe looking for me, probably to cause trouble. But she was out of luck. As soon as she walked in the door, she met the bodyguard left by the Blue family. She's so arrogant, always ready to fight; not everyone is like Owen, who caters to her every whim. The bodyguard threw her out, and she even screamed that the bodyguard was trying to take advantage of her. Then, her mouth was gagged with a stinky sock."

Hearing this, Stefan laughed and asked, "Did she vomit?"

"She didn't die from vomiting, but she vomited pretty badly, worse than morning sickness."

Stefan laughed. "Serves her right!"

"She got what she deserved. Did she think everyone would let her have her way? She came to settle scores with me but ended up embarrassing herself. Stefan, I really suspect she wants to make me die of laughter to inherit my shares in Serendipity Cafe."

Stefan laughed, saying, "She's the last person who would inherit anything."

"Haha, exactly."

After telling Stefan the funny incident about Ruby, the two cooed for a while before ending the call.

Just as the call ended, Owen called.

Stefan was contemplating whether to pick up when Owen hung up, but quickly called back. Before Stefan could answer, Owen hung up again. This repeated a few times before Stefan called back.

Owen picked up right away.

"Stefan, did you need something? Shouldn't you be dealing with paperwork, in a meeting, or seeing clients at this hour?"

Owen joked casually.

Stefan was silent for a while, then said, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? You're always bothering me; what's your game?"

"Who said I was bothering you? I just dialed the wrong number."

Just as Stefan was about to hang up, Owen, as if predicting Stefan's intention, said on the other end of the line, "I need to talk to you; don't hang up."
