Owen thought that many people was dependent on him. If Trenton took back everything, those who depended on him will be miserable.
He was not heartless toward Ruby, but he was powerless. He was not as capable as Stefan of really taking charge of the group.
Owen even suspected that Trenton didn't completely let him take charge of everything, just to guard against Ruby!
"Owen, you will thank me one day."
"For what am I grateful to you? Thank you for telling on Trenton and forcing me to marry Cecilia?"
Owen suddenly stopped.
What did he say? Told him the secret between him and Cecilia, but he felt relieved inside.
Hidden marriage was not as good as he imagined.
"Trenton made you marry Cecilia?" Stefan pretended to be surprised and then said, "Owen, if you are still a conscientious person, don't hurt Ms. Yates. She is a good friend of Mrs. Coleman, and I will value anyone who Mrs. Coleman values. If you dare to hurt Ms. Yates, I will get even with you as a family member of Ms. Yates!"
"What's wrong with Cecilia marrying me? I am handsome, elegant, and young, and Cecilia is really lucky to marry me."
Owen hated to hear Stefan's remarks, as if he was not good enough for Cecilia, but Cecilia was not good enough for him.
"Are you married?"
"Why do you care about this?" After a pause, Owen added, "Yes, but it's a hidden marriage. Stefan, I'm so confused. Why am I telling you this? You should keep your mouth shut and not tell anyone. Cecilia and I are secretly married!"
"Don't worry, it will only come from your own mouth."
Stefan already knew about this.
He just pretended not to know, waiting for Owen to say it himself, and sure enough, Owen couldn't help telling him.
Although Stefan and Owen were often tit-for-tat, they can actually understand each other. Unfortunately, there was a Ruby between them. Every time, because of Ruby, Owen will pick on Stefan. This time, Stefan called to tell on Ruby, which was really the first time.
Owen can't speak.
After more than ten seconds, he asked Stefan, "Do you really know that I am married now?"
"Yes, I just know now."
"Then why don't you hang up and call me when you know I'm married? What do you mean?"
Huh? What did he say?
"I know you want to cheat, so I just provide you with opportunities. Don't thank me; I am still very generous to you. Goodbye."
Stefan hung up, as Owen wanted.
Owen was so angry that he wanted to drop his cell phone.
"Damn it! Stefan just wants to piss me off! "
Owen scolded Stefan ten thousand times in the office.
He scolded his throat dry, poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat, and then he took the initiative to call Ruby again.
