Faux Vows, True Desires

"I don't know what your grandpa was thinking. Even if he didn't like Ruby, he should have found you a woman of status and wealth like Lucinda for marriage."

Owen retorted bluntly, "Mother, you once said Lucinda was a pauper's daughter, not fit for Stefan."

Olina was speechless. She had no idea Lucinda was actually the oldest daughter of the Blue family.

"Owen, why don't you look into Cecilia again to see if she's the biological daughter of the Yates family. If she turns out to be a lost billionaire like Lucinda, I could accept her as my daughter-in-law."

The Martinez family and the Anderson family were always at odds, especially the Martinez family, who loved to compare themselves with the Andersons.

When they learned that Stefan married Lucinda, a girl with no social status, Olina was overjoyed. She thought her son could finally outshine Stefan.

However, before she could celebrate for two days, her father-in-law forced her son to marry a girl from an ordinary family. Who knew how Olina was furious that time, but she couldn't vent her anger on her father-in-law.

She turned her anger on Cecilia who didn't fear Olina at all. Eventually, Olina had to leave in disgrace.

After the revelation that Lucinda was the oldest daughter of the Blue family, Olina had to admit that Stefan was good at choosing people. He managed to marry the daughter who had been missing for over twenty years.

Owen was so angry with his mother's words that he was speechless for a long time. Finally, he said with a sulky face, "Mom, Cecilia is the biological daughter of the Yates family. I love her, regardless of her background."

"You love her? She was forced upon you by your grandpa. You should hate her! Because of her, you were coerced by your grandpa. And what about Ruby, the woman you truly loved? Even though Ruby made mistakes, can you really let her go?"

Owen turned livid, "Mom, are you suggesting I should start over with Ruby? Have you ever seen me and Ruby together in the past decade? Ruby only has eyes for Stefan."
