Lucinda snuggled up to her husband and asked, "Sweetie, do you think Ruby will go find Owen?"
"Obviously, she will definitely go to Owen. I'm just not sure if Owen can firmly reject her this time."
Stefan sorted out what Ruby had done abroad and sent a copy to Owen and Trenton.
Owen might soften, but Trenton definitely wouldn't let him down.
"Babe, do you want to watch the drama unfold?"
"Can we? You don't get along with Owen. Even if we want to watch the drama, we don't have an excuse to visit him."
Who didn't love a good show? Especially Ruby's drama, Lucinda loved it the most.
"As long as you want to watch, I'll take you. Just because I don't get along with Owen, it gives us a chance to watch his drama. If we were on good terms, it would be awkward to watch him in trouble."
Lucinda laughed, saying, "Then let's hurry up and go."
Stefan indulgently said, "Alright."
If Owen knew his archenemy was bringing his wife over to his house to watch the drama, he might die of anger in advance.
Owen came home late last night. Luckily, his grandfather wasn't waiting in the hall to scold him.
He sneaked back to his room like a thief and went straight to sleep.
When dawn broke, he woke up but still felt unrested, so he called Walter to tell him he wouldn't be going to the company today and all meetings needed to be rescheduled.
After he hung up, he went back to bed to continue sleeping.
Unfortunately, someone didn't want him to sleep. The knocking on the door was deafening.
"Who is it?"
Owen was disturbed and angry; he shouted at the door-knocker while getting out of bed.
"Mr. Martinez, it's me, Derek."
Owen went over and opened the door, glared at Derek, and said displeasedly, "Derek, do you want me to sleep at all? Knocking so loudly in the early morning, are you trying to break the door?"
"Mr. Martinez, Ms. Scott is lying at the front gate and we don't know if she's dead or alive. The security guard on duty said she arrived in the middle of the night and wouldn't leave."
Derek was really reluctant to bring him this news.
He and Trenton both preferred Ms. Yates but Owen was infatuated with Ms. Scott.
If he wasn't afraid of Owen blaming him later, he wouldn't care about Ms. Scott at all.
Derek thought that after he said this, Owen would rush out as usual.
But this time, he just stood there, unmoving.
Owen thought of the "gift" he received, and his face turned very ugly. Ruby coming to find him now was probably because Stefan found evidence to hold her accountable, so she was afraid of being put in jail, then she came to seek his help.
If Stefan didn't hold her accountable, she probably wouldn't come to find him.
She was always like this, turning to him when she needed help and going to Stefan when she didn't.
She had been using him. He was just a tool for her to latch onto Stefan.
"Mr. Owen, are you okay?"
Derek asked with concern.
