The grand hall was packed with people.

Owen and Cecilia walked hand in hand into the hall, with Owen's handsome face looking all tense.

Cecilia sneakily pinched him.

Owen almost jumped out of his skin.

He shot Cecilia a glare.

Before they got to Trenton, he muttered, "If you want to get out of this mess sooner, don't bother about my attitude."

Cecilia's bright eyes twinkled; she got his hint.

She immediately let go of his hand.

What a waste of a dramatic entrance!

She even managed to tick him off.

She'll have to wash her hands a couple more times.

His arm might have been all over Ruby.

Cecilia's move didn't sit well with Owen.

But he knew what he signed up for, so he kept his mouth shut.


Everyone saw their little interaction and got the memo.

Trenton announced that he had found a wife for Owen, and they had already secured their marriage license.

This dropped a bomb on the Martinez family, leaving everyone shocked.

When they found out that Owen's wife came from a humble background without any connections or power, Olina nearly fainted.

Trenton was just too bossy. Owen was her son, and she wasn't given a say in his marriage. His grandfather unilaterally decided everything and even had them secure a marriage license.

Knowing that her son had feelings for Ruby, Olina knew that this was Trenton's doing.

If it weren't for her husband's discouragement, Olina would have already had a massive argument with Trenton.

The rest of the Martinez family was pretty stoked, especially May Martinez.
