Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 233

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. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As for whether the two chatted happily on the phone, no one knew.

Ruby still decided to go to Ascend Estate.

When her car was halfway there, she stopped because there was a car parked on the side of the road in front of her.

This road led to Ascend Estate, and few people will take this road except those who went to Ascend Estate.

Ruby was not the kind of person who liked to meddle and had no kindness to help strangers. She only stopped because she saw two people standing in front of the car, which were Stefan's parents, who hadn't been home for many months.

Stefan's mother's name was Jeannie Coleman, and his father's name was Frederick Anderson.

The husband and wife had known each other since childhood. Frederick always liked to say that Jeannie was born his wife because her name matched him very well.

Jeannie was the only child of her family, and the Coleman family's property was inherited by her, but the Coleman family people were not willing to let the Coleman family's assets become the Anderson family's. Even though the Anderson family didn't have any covetousness for the Coleman family's

property, the Coleman family still insisted that Frederick and Jeannie's first child, whether male or female, must be named after the Coleman family.

Stefan was the child with the surname Coleman, but he hasn't inherited the family business yet. The Coleman family's property was still in Jeannie's name, and the Coleman group's business was mainly managed by Stefan's younger brother because Stefan had to deal with Ascend Global's affairs and he was very busy.

“Ms. Coleman, Mr. Anderson.” Ruby got off the bus, walked quickly over, and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Jeannie and Frederick looked at Ruby, and they nodded their heads in response to Ruby's greetings.

"Ruby, when did you return home? Our car broke down, and we almost got home." Jeannie said helplessly.

If she had known, she would have called the driver at home to pick them up instead of coming back by taxi.

"I have been back for more than a month." Actually, she was detained for half a month.

"Ms. Coleman, Mr. Anderson, let me take you there. I happened to go to Ascend Estate, and Grandma Savannah said that she was bored. I came to chat with her. "

Ruby didn't immediately tell Jeannie her real purpose but made up an excuse.

She knew that every time Ms. Coleman and Mr. Anderson went out to travel together, they always changed their mobile phone numbers in order not to disturb their private world. It was difficult to contact them unless they took the initiative to do so.

Stefan was married, but his parents still didn't know about it.

Similarly, they came back from abroad today, and the family certainly didn't know.

Jeannie didn't immediately agree to Ruby's proposal but asked the taxi driver, "Sir, shall we call someone to tow the car?"

"No, there are tools in the car. I'll try it myself." The taxi driver declined.

"I'll call someone to help."

Frederick took out his mobile phone and called the housekeeper at home, asking him to arrange for someone who knew cars to come and help.

The housekeeper didn't seem surprised when he received the phone call, probably because Jeannie and Frederick often went out to play by themselves regardless of their families and then suddenly came back. He was used to it.

Jeannie and Jeannie got in Ruby's car and returned to Ascend Estate after the housekeeper sent someone.

"Ruby, how long will you stay when you come back this time?" Jeannie asked casually.

Ruby smiled while driving and replied, "I'm not going to leave again when I come back this time. All my business has been transferred back, and my house is being renovated, and I plan to live for a long time. After living outside for so many years, I still feel that my home is the best, and I feel very cordial when I return to my hometown."

Jeannie's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "Are you staying here forever when you come back? Are you coming back alone? Or is Megan coming back with you? Has she retired?"

Ruby had two brothers, both of whom can take her place.
