Faux Vows, True Desires

"Mr. Martinez, Mrs. Martinez, Ms. Scott is here."

Jay suddenly came in from outside, informing the couple that Ruby had arrived.

Ruby had just parked her car.

Seeing Owen and his bodyguards at the Serendipity Cafe was no longer a surprise to Ruby. But, her heart still ached, filled with regret.

She wasn't there to see Cecilia or Lucinda, but Owen.

Ever since Owen gave up on her, it had become increasingly difficult for her to see him in private.

Visiting the Martinez family was out of the question. Olina didn't want to see her, and Mr. Martinez, who never liked her, was even less likely to welcome her.

Thus, she couldn't even cross the threshold of the Martinez family's residence.

If she went to the Ikella Group, in the past, she was treated like a queen with everyone bowing and scraping, fearing to offend her and lose their jobs.

But now, she had to register at the security office, and then be stopped by the receptionist, who would say that she needed to make an appointment to see Owen. The waiting list to see Owen was so long that she'd have to wait until the next year.

So, the Serendipity Cafe was her only option.

As long as Cecilia was there, Owen would definitely come.

Ruby had initially planned to wait there all day, but as soon as she arrived, she saw Owen's bodyguards and cars were already there.

And a brand-new luxury car.

Did Owen give it to Cecilia?

Right, whenever Owen liked someone, he loved to shower them with gifts.

A woman like Cecilia would probably be easily smitten by his generosity.
