Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 369

The servant saw Olina approaching and hurried over.

Rolling down her car window, Olina asked, "Whose car is parked there? Ask them to move it in a minute, or I'll smash it! Don’t they realize where this is? Can they just park here as they please?"

The car was parked right in the middle of the entrance.

"Madam, that car is a gift from Mr. Martinez to Ms. Yates. She declined it, and her brother drove it here to return it to Mr. Martinez," the servant hastily explained, handing both the car keys and the cash to Olina.

"The car keys are here."

Olina froze for a moment and asked, "Owen gave it to Cecilia?"

Upon seeing the logo on the car key, her face darkened. "Does Owen have so much money to spare? Send such an expensive car to Cecilia as a gift! Is she deserving of it?"

She took back the car keys and the cash.

The Yates siblings did show some backbone by refusing to accept the luxury car and money.

So what? Maybe they were just biding their time, waiting for a bigger opportunity.

Olina called over the security guard and tossed the car keys to him, instructing, "Move the car to the garage."

It was blocking her way.

She had to go out now, and she didn't have time to deal with Cecilia. She would make time to stop by the Serendipity Cafe tomorrow.

Even if Owen had been broken by Ruby, she would never acknowledge Cecilia as her daughter-in-law.

She wanted to ask Cecilia how much it would take to make her leave Owen.

If Cecilia had returned a car worth over two million; it seemed like she wanted even more.

Lucinda had accompanied Stefan to social events before, but it was her first time attending one as one of the Anderson family.

She didn't ask Tiffany’s help for her makeup. After removing her everyday makeup, she applied a simple makeup on her own and changed into the evening gown that Stefan had gifted her previously. She looked like a completely different person.

When Stefan came to pick her up, he stared at her for a long time, as if he was reluctant to take her out. This caused Emma to cover her mouth in amusement.

After a while, Stefan took her out.

On the way, he kept saying, "Honey, you don't need to put on too much makeup. You're naturally beautiful, even without makeup."

"I’ve just applied a light makeup," she explained, "It's a banquet, and I wanted to keep it simple."

Stefan found himself at a loss for words.

After a while, he said, "You're so beautiful that I can hardly bear to let others see your beauty."

Lucinda laughed and said, "Well, I'm sorry. But because of you, I've become a local celebrity in Pinehurst. Many people come to my coffee shop just to see what I look like to have earned your heart."

Stefan laughed, "Don't make me sound so controlling. I haven’t stopped other men from pursuing you. They just believed they couldn't compete with me, feeling inferior in comparison and then giving up. That's why I got the last laugh."

Lucinda would trust him as much as she trusted pigs to fly.

Of course, he was very outstanding, and among the men who had shown interest in her, there was probably no one could as accomplished as him.

But if it weren't for his secret challenge as the Masked Man, she might not have been so frustrated for so long.

"Honey, will President Belinda also be attending the banquet?"

Lucinda accompanied Stefan to this event, which was both her duty as his wife and an opportunity to network and make connections with business tycoons. Of course, the main reason was to meet her future sister-in-law.

Stefan teased, "Seems like you're accompanying me to this event just for President Belinda? If even I'm attending, how could President Belinda not be there?"
