Owen didn't want to leave so soon, but circumstances forced him to.
He gave Cecilia a meaningful look, but she remained silent.
"Becca, please accept these gifts; otherwise, I'll feel like I owe Ms. Yates and always look for opportunities to repay her."
Upon hearing this, Becca immediately objected.
If Owen continued to seek out her daughter, it could easily lead to misunderstandings.
"Cecilia, see Mr. Martinez out."
Becca didn't mention taking the gifts with him anymore.
This made Owen breathe a sigh of relief, but he was also very upset.
Becca quickly accepted the gifts, so he wouldn't have to see Cecilia anymore!
He was handsome, young, and wealthy. By rights, he should be the ideal son-in-law in every mother's eyes, but Becca didn't want him to associate with Cecilia!
"I'll see him out."
Devon suddenly stood up and said to Owen, "Mr. Martinez, please!"
"Devon, please sit. I can leave by myself; there’s no need for an escort."
Maybe Owen got an earful from the old man; afraid of getting another lecture if he was escorted out, he quickly asked the old man to sit down, got up, and left the Yates family with his bodyguards in a gloomy mood.
He left awkwardly during his first visit after marriage.
Ascend Global.
When Stefan walked into the office building, everyone who saw him was stunned.
Stefan was speechless.
He stopped and asked the two receptionists, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The two receptionists didn't dare say that his wife might be cheating; they just smiled and replied, "Mr. Coleman, you look great today!"
Stefan stuck his hands in his pockets and said narcissistically, "When do I not look great?"
The two receptionists kept their smiles and said, "Right, you always look great."
Stefan didn't say anything else and went straight to his office.
When he took the elevator to the top floor, as soon as he stepped out, he saw his brothers, even the youngest one who was about to start school; they were all lined up in suits, looking like they were participating in a beauty contest.
Stefan almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.
He turned around to leave, remembered he was indeed coming to the company, then stopped and turned around to look at his nine brothers.
"Stefan."
His nine brothers called his name in unison.
"What's up? Did you guys get yourselves into big trouble and are waiting for me to clean up the mess?"
"Stefan, we just wanted to come and see you."
Liam was also an older brother to the other eight, so he answered first.
"You came to laugh at me, didn't you?"
"Stefan, do you know about the video?"
Liam gave a small laugh.
Stefan said displeasedly, "You guys all know; how would I not know?"
He knew about it yesterday.
Lucy said she wanted to see the embarrassing scene after everyone found out the truth, and she told him not to do anything.
So he just watched the show with everyone else.
"Clearly, it's Lucinda and Mr. Blue's private matter; others may not know, but we all know that those videos were manipulated just to mislead others."
Eric felt a wave of relief.
