Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 224

Stefan was not angry when he saw Lucinda, but relaxed.

As long as she's not angry.

"Actually, I found the treasure. Ike always praises you. I heard your name a long time ago. Later, after seeing you, I gradually began to like you. Now I’ve finally married you, so I can feel at ease. Lucy, you are my treasure! I will cherish you, no matter how your identity changes; I will always be with you and face difficulties with you until I am safe."

"We don't express our feelings for each other any more. Go home quickly. The family is still waiting for us to have dinner together in the store. Oh, by the way, I brought you a box of snacks, which were made by Janice Blue herself."

Lucinda didn't expect Janice to cook such delicious snacks.

"Put it here first, and I'll eat it when I'm hungry in the afternoon. I'll finish the snacks made by Janice anyway."

"I know you are good at pleasing your elders. Both mothers like you very much and forget that I am their daughter."

Lucinda said she was a little unhappy.

Fiona Lewis Moore, the foster mother, first persuaded Lucinda and Stefan to divorce because she was worried that she would get hurt. After she made a choice, Fiona stopped talking about divorce, and she was better for Stefan than Ike.

"The elders are so good to me; in fact, they want me to be better to you."

Stefan truly understood the hearts of his elders.

The couple walked out of the office together.

It's time to get off work, but Iris hadn't left yet. When she saw the couple coming out, Iris greeted them. When they got into the elevator, Iris began to clean up her desk and get ready to get off work.

On the way to the Serendipity Cafe, Lucinda returned to the topic of Ruby. She said, "Ruby said that she came to see you for business. I think she was really anxious. Did you do something without telling me?"

Stefan asks, "Lucy, what do you think is Ruby's capital in Pinehurst?"

"With her own money and Owen Martinez's backing, most people dare not offend her."

"We can't use violence against her; it's easy for her to go to court, but there are many ways to stop her arrogance and even make her wish she were dead. The best way to retaliate against a person is not to directly end her life. It is too cheap for her, and making her life worse than death is the real revenge. Ruby has transferred all her well-developed businesses abroad back to Pinehurst. On my site, she still dares to be arrogant toward you. Of course, I can't let her business get started. In addition to the fact that her detention has affected her business before, I am also suppressing her. I let it out. Whoever dares to cooperate with Ruby is my enemy. Ruby has invested too much, and if she can't do business, she will suffer heavy losses. For a long time, she may have had nothing. The business environment is like the sea. If you are not careful, you may capsize. How many companies have risen and fallen over the years?"

"About Owen, I reflected his situation to Trenton at the beginning. Maybe many people thought I was too useless, so they had to call to complain and didn't know how to teach Ruby a lesson for you. However, the result of my complaint was that Owen was forced to get married. He married your best friend, Cecilia Yates, which prevented Ruby from marrying the Martinez family. With Trenton here and Ms. Yates involved, Owen has been restrained. Ruby is used to Owen's unconditional love for her. How can she stand Owen's love being carved up by others? The contradiction between her and Owen will be more and more deep until Owen gives up on Ruby, and Ruby's dependence will fall."

"Once she has no money, no dependence, and her reputation is ruined. She would become the laughing stock of everyone. For Ruby, who wants to be the most distinguished rich lady in Pinehurst, this is worse than death."

After Stefan finished, he was silent for a moment and then said, "The only innocent person is Ms. Yates."

Their struggle involved Cecilia, an innocent person.
