Faux Vows, True Desires

"What on earth do you think you're doing? Let go of my daughter, now!"

Megan was heartbroken to see the Anderson family's bodyguards handling her daughter.

She yelled, rushing forward to rescue her daughter from their grip.

Turning to Stefan, she shouted out, "Stefan, you've crossed the line! This is the Scott family, not the Anderson family. What you're doing here is wrong, and I won't hesitate to call the police!" Stefan just stood there, his lips curled up in a cold and cruel smile.

They were no match for the Anderson's bodyguards.

The bodyguards roughly dragged Ruby over. Ruby's hair was messy from struggling, her high heels were lost, and she was barefoot. They dumped her at Stefan's feet, looking utterly disheveled. "Stefan! Don't you dare go too far! What has Ruby done wrong to deserve this? Her only mistake was falling in love with you!"

Megan was so angry that her face lost all color. She lost control and rushed over, punching Stefan.

Stefan didn't even need to lift a finger, and his bodyguards pushed Megan away. Megan tried to rush at him again, only to be kicked to the ground by a bodyguard. The pain made her stop in her tracks. "The boss doesn't like other women touching him."

One of the bodyguards said coldly.

"Mom."

Ruby rushed to help her mother up, the two of them huddled together, looking up at Stefan.

Stefan looked down on them, making Ruby realize that she had always looked up to him. No matter how hard she tried, she could never reach his level.

If Stefan truly loved her, he would cherish her like a treasure.

When he didn't, even if she died in front of him, he would find her annoying.
