Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 279

Lucinda glanced at Ruby, her brows furrowed in thought. She then turned to Stefan with a smile and said, "Darling, since Mr. Martinez invited us, it would be rude to decline. We need to respect him for Cecilia's

sake."

"Alright, then let's go in."

Owen felt a pang of bitterness. Would they have accepted the invitation if he wasn't involved with Cecilia?

Stefan took Lucinda's hand, and they walked past Ruby.

Ruby wept bitterly, her face a mess of anguish. She glanced up suddenly, her eyes filled with hatred towards the couple who came to see her in her lowest moment.

Upon seeing Owen trailing behind Stefan and Lucinda, Ruby couldn't help but scream, "Owen!"

Owen paused for a moment but didn't look back. Soon, he had disappeared into the distance with Stefan and Lucinda.

Ruby pounded the ground in frustration.
