Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 381

Everyone in the room was startled by Olina's loud entrance. Instinctively, they watched her stride in, marching up to the counter and pushing Avery aside.

Avery stood there, bouquet in hand, dumbfounded and unsure of what was happening.

"Cecilia, how dare you cozy up to another man!"

Olina accused, pointing at Cecilia, "Have you forgotten your place?"

"Mrs. Martinez, I've already divorced your son," Cecilia replied calmly.

Olina's tirade came to an abrupt halt.

Yes, Owen had indeed divorced Cecilia.

She had come here today to tell Cecilia to keep her distance from Owen, not to catch her in an affair.

But it irked Olina to see Cecilia already having a suitor, a man who was just as attractive as Owen, right after the divorce.

She suspected Cecilia had been unfaithful during their marriage.

No wonder Owen wanted a divorce.

Olina conveniently ignored the fact that her son was currently clinging to Cecilia like a piece of chewing gum.

Seeing that Olina had run out of words, Cecilia stepped out from behind the counter and said, "Mrs. Martinez, please come with me."

Despite her silence, Olina followed Cecilia.

Cecilia led her to a table in the corner and called a waitress over. She ordered a cup of coffee and a few pastries for Mrs. Martinez, and another coffee for herself.

Once seated, Cecilia casually asked Olina, "What brings you here, Mrs. Martinez?"

Olina glanced at Avery, who was still standing at the counter, holding the bouquet and looking rather lost.

Focusing back on Cecilia, Olina's tone was far from pleasant, "You found a new man just days after divorcing Owen. Were you cheating during the marriage? No wonder Owen wanted to divorce you. Good riddance. You're not good enough for my son. My son is exceptional. Only a socialite is a match for him, not someone like you, Cecilia."

Cecilia merely smiled, "Mrs. Martinez, you should be saying these things to your son. After all, he's the one who's clinging to me like a piece of gum. You should tell him that Cecilia isn't good enough for him, that he should stay away from Cecilia!"

Olina was speechless.

She had tried telling her son, but he had refused to listen, even getting angry with her.

"As for infidelity, your son was the first to cheat. After we got our marriage license, he openly took Ruby out."

After a while, Olina asked directly, "Cecilia, name your price. I'll give you anything, as long as you promise to leave Pinehurst and never see Owen again."

Cecilia laughed, "Why are you offering now? Owen isn't my husband anymore. Even if I wanted to get money from him, I couldn't."

Olina was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Last time, Ms. Scott came to make an offer. I didn't ask for too much, so I said 500, 000 and she agreed. But the deal fell through, and I had to return the money."
