Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 58

Owen angrily said, "You know exactly who I am, and you still don't trust me?"

Cecilia scoffed. "It's precisely because I know who you are that I don't trust you. For people like you, who are wealthy and powerful, breaking promises is as easy as pie."

"You don't have any chips to negotiate with me now. Whether you speak or not, I can find the answers. Your family is right here, and it's a piece of cake for me to threaten them."

Cecilia was taken aback by his words. What Owen said was indeed true.

"I... My name is Cecilia."

Cecilia told him her name.

Cecilia? Owen felt like he had heard the name before, but he had no impression of this woman at all.

"How did you recognize me?"

"I've seen you before."

Owen frowned. "I don't remember seeing you."

"You're Mr. Martinez, so high up in the world. I'm just a small fry. Even if we've met, you wouldn't remember me."

Owen wanted to say he had a good memory and could remember anyone he'd met once. But seeing Cecilia's expression, he decided not to explain further.

"Do you have a grudge against me? Did I offend you?"

Even though Owen was in pain, his intelligence was still sharp. He could sense Cecilia's hostility towards him. Recognizing him from the start and still daring to treat him like this, if that was not hostility, what was?

Cecilia did not respond.

Owen wanted to ask again, but suddenly sneezed twice. He was soaked in ice water because of Cecilia, and after sobering up, he felt cold all over. He glared at her as if he was about to eat her alive.

Cecilia was a bit scared, but she still defiantly said, "I woke you up and you still insisted on lying at my doorstep. I had to use ice water to wake you up. You should be grateful to me. If it wasn't for the bucket of ice water I poured on you, you'd still be out cold."

Owen laughed in anger. "Grateful to you? You soaked me through, if I catch a cold, you just wait and see. I've seen shameless people, but someone like you is rare. You're actually quite pretty and young, but so shameless, twisting right and wrong."

Cecilia muttered. "If you catch a cold, I can give you some cold medicine."

Owen was speechless. As if he couldn't afford cold medicine.

"Go inside and find me a change of clothes." Owen ordered.

He sneezed twice again. He was sure his strong body was about to fall victim to Cecilia's bucket of ice water.

He didn't normally hit women, unless they were unreasonable, then he would retaliate. Even so, Owen had been very patient. Otherwise, Cecilia would already be on the ground by now.

He was both physically and mentally strong. Did she think her little bit of strength could subdue him? He just didn't want to confront Stefan directly.

"Didn't you say someone is coming to pick you up? My father's clothes might not fit you, and I guess you wouldn't want to wear them. My father works in construction, and his clothes might not be as clean as yours."
