Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 204

Olina jerked her hand back sharply, saying coldly, "Cecilia, you just wait. I won't make things easy for you!"

Cecilia chuckled. "I'm not one to stir things up, but I'm also not scared of trouble. If you want to mess with me, I won't let you off easily. Your threats don't faze me."

Olina was livid, her face turning a ghastly shade.

She glared at Cecilia, who still seemed to be in high spirits. Her beautiful face was adorned with a smile. She was completely unfazed by Olina's threats, treating her like she was a nobody.

"Think you can depend on Lucinda now that she's part of the Anderson family? Let me tell you, Lucinda can't even save herself. She thinks marrying into a wealthy family is a walk in the park. Just wait till Stefan's parents come back from their trip; she won't know if she can stay in the Anderson household."

Cecilia's smile disappeared as she replied coldly, "What I do has nothing to do with Lucinda. Don't drag her into this; she's none of your business."

Lucinda's biological parents were quite influential, although Lucinda didn't have time to explain it properly. But she knew Lucinda intended to take over the family business, taking the path of an independent woman.

The old Lucinda might not have been good enough for the Anderson family, but Cecilia believed the current Lucinda was a perfect match for Stefan.

"Even though I don't know much about the Anderson family, I do know Mr. Coleman. A family that can raise a child like him must have good values. I believe Stefan's mother is different from you."

Cecilia's words left Olina speechless and embarrassed.

Olina was not familiar with Stefan's mother, as the two families were bitter rivals.

But she did know that Stefan's mother was very open-minded and never interfered with her children's love lives. Stefan had married Lucinda without notifying his parents, and the Anderson family would only be delighted, not opposed, and would never bully their daughter-in-law.

The Anderson family indeed had a good family atmosphere.

Even the siblings and relatives got along well, unlike the Martinez family, which was filled with strife.

"You!" Olina was at a loss for words.

"Megan, let's go."

Olina grabbed Megan and left.

If they stayed, Cecilia would have angered them to death.

Cecilia watched the two women leave, cheerfully saying, "Feel free to come back anytime."

Olina and Megan was furious. And get more infuriated next time?

The two women who came to make trouble for Cecilia left dejectedly after being full of confidence.

Cecilia turned back to the shop; all eyes were on her.

She smiled and said, "Dealing with menopausal women is tough. You guys keep sipping your coffee; just consider the earlier scene a comedy sketch."

Everyone chuckled, and although they were curious, they didn't press further.

After all, they were just passing by.

Back at the cash register, Cecilia sent a cheerful message to Owen.

"Mr. Malicious, my mother-in-law just came to my shop with Megan to cause trouble."

Upon receiving the message, Owen immediately called her.

Once Cecilia picked up, he asked softly, "Cecilia, did my mom do anything to you?"

"What could she have done? If she doesn't consider me her daughter-in-law, I don't consider her my mother-in-law. If she respects me, I'll respect her. If she's nasty to me, I won't let her off easily."

"Did my mom hit you?"

Owen knew his mother very well.

Being forced by his grandfather to marry Cecilia, his mother was naturally unhappy.
