As the couple stepped out of the main house, Stefan's chauffeur, and Lucinda’s driver were already waiting.
Lucinda spotted the car Stefan was about to get into. It was the same Mercedes worth a fortune that he drove on their wedding registration day. Back then, he even claimed it was a second-hand car he bought from a friend, just to show off.
Shoot! He had the audacity to lie without a hint of shame. She really admired him!
To Stefan, this kind of car was not considered expensive. Given his status, his car should at the very least be a Rolls Royce.
Lucinda didn't bother asking him about the car. She was certain that there was a Rolls Royce in his garage. Maybe he just wanted to keep a low profile.
The gate of the villa was see-through.
Adrienne was standing at the gate, clearly seeing what was happening inside. She saw Stefan gallantly open the car door for that woman. When the woman got into the car, Mr. Stefan even gave her a hand.
She had never seen such a considerate version of Stefan. She had been crushing on Stefan for so many years, yet she couldn't even stay by his side for a minute.
Why did that woman get the gentle care of Stefan? Just because she was the girl Stefan had a crush on when he was young?
Adrienne watched everything with jealousy.
When the car was leaving the villa, Adrienne couldn't help but chase after the car, running and pounding on the window where Lucinda was sitting.
“Ruby, get out of the car, I have something to say!”
“Ruby, you've been away for ten years, why do you have to come back?”
“Ruby, let me tell you, Stefan is mine, and I won't let go. We’ll compete fairly, don't get cocky too soon, whoever deserves him has not yet been decided.”
The driver stepped on the gas and the car sped up. Soon, the driver left Adrienne behind.
Lucinda really wanted the driver to stop.
Considering her current status, whether she had fallen in love with Stefan or not, she was now his wife and had to act like one. She couldn't sympathize with her love rival.
The man beside her was frowning all along, exuding a chilling aura, like a demon crawled out of hell, cold enough to make one shudder.
Lucinda suddenly felt relieved, glad that she was the one he fancied. If she was his enemy, she might’ve been killed without warning. In other words, she was actually incredibly happy and lucky.
Stefan liked her. He had waited for ten years, and spent ten years waiting for her to grow up, waiting for an opportunity to let her walk into his world willingly.
As for her jumping into the trap and not coming out, she couldn't blame him. She was naive, thinking that knowing each other for eleven years meant they were old friends.
Sigh, the past was heart-wrenching. Whenever Lucinda thought of hiring him for five hundred dollars a month, she felt like poking out her own eyes. Were her eyes blind?
“Adrienne is really infatuated with you. She just mistook me for your childhood sweetheart.”
Stefan frowned, “What a delusion!”
He would acquire the Dewey family's company and buy their villa, so that Adrienne would have no chance to become his neighbor and also exclude her from the ranks of rich girls. Let's see how Adrienne would continue to pester him.
In the past, Stefan was also annoyed by Adrienne. His subordinates usually helped him fend off Adrienne, trying not to let her disturb him.
He was always too lazy to deal with Adrienne's problem. But now that he had Lucinda, Adrienne's pestering had a greater impact on him. He could no longer ignore her.
