Faux Vows, True Desires

"Cecilia, Cecilia."

Lucinda suddenly called out in a panic.

Cecilia, who was busy counting seven checks, asked her, "What's up? Why the jitters?"

"He's here, he's here."

Lucinda was genuinely anxious, "Mr. Malicious is here, you gotta hide."

Cecilia was momentarily startled, but quickly gathered up the seven checks. This was her money from selling her husband.

"Is he really here?"

"Take a look outside. What a coincidence, Ruby just left and before she even got in the car, she saw Owen's entourage coming. Oh right, didn't Owen leave two bodyguards to protect you at the door? It must be them who notified him."

Stefan also arranged bodyguards to protect Lucinda, but they were hidden. Even if Lucinda knew, Zoey and Zack were still protecting her from the shadows.

They didn't want Lucinda to feel like she was constantly being watched.

Owen was more straightforward, his two bodyguards had been squatting around Serendipity Cafe all day.

Cecilia couldn't ignore them even if she wanted to.

Ruby came in following a delivery guy, the Martinez family's bodyguards thought she was here to see Lucinda, so they didn't react.

But when they saw Ruby was talking to Cecilia alone, they realized something was off and quickly notified Owen to come. They were watching from outside, but didn't see a catfight between the two women. However, they saw Owen seemed to have received something from Ms. Scott and gave Ms. Scott a piece of paper, then Ms. Scott came out all joyful.

Upon receiving the bodyguard's notification, Owen was also worried about a catfight between Cecilia and Ruby. He wasn't worried that Cecilia would be at a disadvantage, he was worried that Cecilia would hurt her hand from hitting someone, so he rushed over to see if he could be of any help.
