Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 139

He put in quite a bit of effort, even though he wasn't the one who found Lucinda first, but at least he contributed. Stefan was a sensible man, so he will remember the favor Owen did for him.

Owen felt pretty smug when he thought about his longtime rival thanking him.

When Stefan came to thank him, he planned to act all high and mighty.

"Was Lucy hurt? Did they catch the criminals?"

"Lucinda wasn't injured. I asked around, and those criminals were probably too scared to hurt her. They dumped her in some remote place and ran off. I bet they won't get far after crossing Stefan. If Stefan can't help the police catch those guys, I will lose all respect for him."

If he couldn't even protect his own wife, then he had no business being Owen's rival.

"Good to know Lucy is fine." Cecilia let out a sigh of relief.

"But why didn't Lucy tell me?"

Owen didn't really want to explain for Lucinda, but seeing Cecilia look a bit disappointed, he spontaneously explained, "Lucinda's phone ran out of battery and shut off."

After hearing this, Cecilia immediately perked up. She understood that it wasn't that Lucinda didn't want to check in with her, it was just that her phone had run out of battery. "After this incident, Stefan was also shocked. He took her home and... you should understand what I mean. You're her good friend; she will call you. Just wait."

No sooner had Owen finished speaking than Cecilia's phone rang.

It was Ike calling, and Cecilia answered right away.

"Cecilia, Lucy has been rescued, and she's fine. Sorry, I forgot to tell you."

Ike's voice was filled with regret.


Cecilia laughed and said, "As long as Lucy is fine."

Ike cared a lot about Lucinda.

Ike's attention was on her, and he temporarily forgot to notify Cecilia,
