Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 397

Mr. Liam was getting antsy.

He couldn't wait to make Tiffany his wife.

Sure, they were living together already, but marriage was a whole different ball game.

Cecilia, meanwhile, was happily congratulating Tiffany, a hint of envy in her voice.

It was only Darlene who remained silent in their group chat. Cecilia sent her a quick mention.

After a while, Darlene replied, "Caught up with my sister. Congrats, Tiffany."

Turned out, she'd just received a call from one of her contacts informing her that the esteemed gentleman, Owen, had requested that she personally deliver the results of an investigation.

Darlene suspected that Owen was curious about the real identity of the woman behind her renowned detective agency.

She had always been low-profile and rarely interacted directly with clients, but her agency had gained quite a reputation in Pinehurst, sparking interest in the boss' identity.

But Darlene had no intention of revealing herself to Owen. Instead, she dispatched her most trusted assistant to meet with him. After all, no one knew she was the one running the show, not even her own sister.

Owen, oblivious to all this, noticed Cecilia's cheerful demeanor and asked, "What's the good news? Share it with me."

"Tiffany is getting married and she asked me to be her bridesmaid," Cecilia revealed.

At that, Owen's eyes lit up. If Cecilia was going to be Tiffany's bridesmaid, it would only be fitting for him to be Liam's best man. But that was easier said than done, considering he had no relationship with Liam and was viewed as an enemy by the Anderson family, who were on Stefan's side.
