Faux Vows, True Desires

While Megan was on the phone with Olina, Trenton also received two sets of documents. It was about Cecilia and Lucinda, whom Trenton had asked someone to investigate.

Even though Owen was the primary figure behind the Ikella Group, and Trenton had a great deal of trust in and reliance on him, he felt deeply unhappy about Owen's infatuation with Ruby.

This time, because of Ruby's drama, both Owen and the Ikella group took a hit. This ticked Trenton off big time, so he decided to personally sort out Owen's marriage shenanigan. However, for all these years, the only woman Owen had contact with, apart from his family, was Ruby.

This gave Trenton a massive headache. Even though he could consider a political alliance, Trenton was well aware of his grandson's personality. He could force Owen to tie the knot, and Owen would probably go along. But if the wife he brought home ended up living alone, that'd piss off her family, and the two families' relationship could go south. That was not the outcome Trenton wanted.

Luckily, when he was looking into the incident of Lucinda's store getting vandalized, he found some clues. His grandson seemed to have a peculiar interest in Cecilia, another owner of the Serendipity Cafe. Trenton immediately had someone investigate and found out that his grandson had spent a lot of money to have Cecilia pretend to be his girlfriend to provoke Ruby.

Ruby went bananas, vandalized the store, and injured Cecilia. His grandson also apologized to the Yates family today. Although it ended on a sour note, Trenton still saw a glimmer of hope. So he had someone investigate Cecilia.

Looking at the photo of Cecilia in the document, Trenton muttered to himself, "She's quite a looker and she seems like a good match for Owen."

Cecilia's family background was also quite simple, and most importantly, it was clean.

Although their family wasn't exactly a match for the Martinez family, such a family would be easier to control. Even if Cecilia married into the family and had to live alone, the Yates family wouldn't be able to push Owen around, let alone pose a threat to them or affect their business.
