Ruby said with a straight face, "Cecilia, I'll give you money if you leave Owen. Once you're out of the picture, he'll come back to me. Your situation isn't the same as Lucinda's. Lucinda's parents are loaded, but the Yates family isn't exactly rolling in dough. Half a million is a hefty sum for you."

"I'm a local of Pinehurst, and there's no way I'm leaving my hometown for half a million. But I could sell Owen to you for that price."

Ruby fell silent for a moment before saying, "Just one year. Leave Pinehurst for just one year."

Seeing that Cecilia wasn't biting, she continued, "Half a year. Three months! Cecilia, think of it as a vacation. Just leave Pinehurst for three months. During this time, you switch off your phone and can't contact Owen."

"I have to mind the shop. I can only leave for a few days at most."

Ruby frowned, "What can be done in a few days?"

Cecilia laughed, "If you're capable, you could win him over in an hour."

Ruby had nothing to say to that.

"Ms. Scott, you're giving me half a million to buy Owen. You can check it. If you can't win him over, that's your problem, not mine. Once sold, there are no returns or refunds, and definitely no after-sales service."

Ruby was speechless.

Lucinda was already laughing her head off on the table.

Cecilia could really make half a million by selling her husband. Hilarious!

After a while, Ruby asked Cecilia, "This is a big transaction, Cecilia. Can't you give me some sort of guarantee?"
