Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 97

Stefan went silent for a bit before saying, "Owen, you could live a life that others would envy too."

All Owen had to do was let go of his obsession with Ruby, find a good partner, and he could have a life that others would envy.

Owen fell silent too.

Though they were enemies, they'd known each other since they were kids. If it weren't for their quarrel, they could have been good friends.

"You've known Lucinda for eleven years, and you've been in love with her for eleven years. Why can't I be happy because I'm persistent?" Owen's words were filled with discontent.

They were both obsessed with someone.

Stefan was happy.

Did he have to end in tragedy?

"The person I like is worth my affection. Is the person you like worth yours?"

Owen was at a loss for words. Comparing them objectively, Lucinda surpassed Ruby in many ways. He was well aware that Ruby exploited his feelings to get close to Stefan. She had even gone to the extent of ruining Lucinda's shop for Stefan's attention.

Even after all her schemes, Owen consistently supported Ruby. He faced his grandfather's wrath for her and even picked fights with Stefan on her behalf. Ruby, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to his sacrifices. She took advantage of his generosity without a hint of remorse and continuously caused him pain.

His grandfather had been right about her. Because Owen showed her kindness and support, Ruby must have believed she could continually exploit his influence, right?

Owen then heard the voice on the other end, "Look, Owen, even though we're rivals and neither of us wishes the other well, our enmity isn't that profound. Beyond our business competition, we've been acquaintances for over two decades."

"Ruby really isn't worth your effort. If you want to take my advice, take it. If not, just consider it as if I didn't say anything. I'm going to hang up now. You don't need to come over, I don't want to see you." With that, Stefan hung up.

Owen stared at his phone for a while before saying, "He hung up so quickly, he didn't even give me the chance to say goodbye."

The bodyguards of the Martinez family said nothing.

The confrontation ended with Owen's defeat.
