Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 44

Stefan held onto Lucinda's hand tight, his face stern.

Lucinda turned to him, whispering, "Do you know them?"

"They're Owen's fancy car entourage. He's got a thing for luxury cars, so he always goes out with a fleet of them and a bunch of bodyguards. It's his way of showing off his power; it makes him feel like a king."

Stefan said this with a smirk on his face.

Lucinda laughed, saying, "That's his insecurity showing."

Stefan laughed too, his eyes softening.

Wasn't Lucinda complimenting him for his confidence?

Stefan always thought he was a confident guy.

The bodyguards got out first, and then one of them opened the car door for Owen.

And there was Owen, standing across from them with his entourage.

"Stefan."

Owen said calmly, "Your wife hit Ruby. So, do you punish her, or should I?"

So he was there for Ruby.

Lucinda thought, What took him so long?


Looking at the man beside her, Lucinda understood why Owen chose this moment to show up. He did it on purpose, when Stefan was present.

"So what if Lucy hits Ruby? Ruby started it. Lucy just fought back and even hurt her hand doing it. Owen, if you're here to defend Ruby, how about compensating for Ruby? Ruby got Lucy so worked up that she can't work now. Lucy is a businesswoman, and she loses a lot of money if she can't work. Ruby should compensate for this loss."

Owen was taken aback by Stefan's words, staring at him in shock.
