Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 90

Ten years ago, Ruby tried to win Stefan's heart, but he was like, "Nah, I'm not interested in you."

Ten years later, Stefan was all loved up with someone else and couldn't give a damn about Ruby. Ruby couldn't figure out why she was so hung up on Stefan.

Owen thought Ruby was acting like a complete idiot.

But then he'd think about his deep feelings for Ruby and laugh at himself for being just as foolish.

Cecilia told him he was a laughable fool, and he had to admit, she was right.

"I... I didn't defend her."

Owen was noticeably deflated.

Whenever Ruby was mentioned, Owen felt diminished in front of Stefan.

Perhaps it's the gap between being emotional and being detached.

Owen's profound affection for Ruby, and knowing her one-sided love for Stefan, made him treat her kindly. Stefan, devoid of feelings for Ruby, often disregarded her emotions. This explained Stefan's consistent arrogance towards Owen.

Owen began to see why he always felt overshadowed by Stefan. It wasn't just Stefan's competence, but also the presence of Ruby.

"I'm willing to pay for the damages, Ms. Moore. I'll cover all the losses in your store, even double."

"Name your price."

Owen pulled out his wallet, took out all the cash, and handed it to Lucinda. "If it's not enough, I'll pay you the rest."

Lucinda looked at Stefan and refused Owen's compensation.

"The person who damaged my store was Ruby, so she should be the one to pay, not Mr. Martinez."

"I'm willing to pay for Ruby."

"There's no need. Ms. Scott insulted me once. I want her to apologize publicly and pay for all the losses in my store." Owen looked to Cecilia, hoping she would say something on his behalf.

But Cecilia pretended not to get his hint and said nothing.

Were they close?

No, not at all!
