Chapter 56


    As the couple stepped out of the main house, Stefan''s chauffeur, and Lucinda’s driver were already


    waiting.


    Lucinda spotted the car Stefan was about to get into. It was the same Mercedes worth a fortune that


    he drove on their wedding registration day. Back then, he even imed it was a second-hand car he


    bought from a friend, just to show off.


    Shoot! He had the audacity to lie without a hint of shame. She really admired him!


    To Stefan, this kind of car was not considered expensive. Given his status, his car should at the


    very least be a Rolls Royce.


    Lucinda didn''t bother asking him about the car. She was certain that there was a Rolls Royce in his


    garage. Maybe he just wanted to keep a low profile.


    The gate of the vi was see-through.


    Adrienne was standing at the gate, clearly seeing what was happening inside. She saw Stefan


    gantly open the car door for that woman. When the woman got into the car, Mr. Stefan even gave


    her a hand.


    She had never seen such a considerate version of Stefan. She had been crushing on Stefan for so


    many years, yet she couldn''t even stay by his side for a minute.


    Why did that woman get the gentle care of Stefan? Just because she was the girl Stefan had a


    crush on when he was young?


    Adrienne watched everything with jealousy.


    When the car was leaving the vi, Adrienne couldn''t help but chase after the car, running and


    pounding on the window where Lucinda was sitting.


    “Ruby, get out of the car, I have something to say!”


    “Ruby, you''ve been away for ten years, why do you have toe back?”


    “Ruby, let me tell you, Stefan is mine, and I won''t let go. We’llpete fairly, don''t get cocky too


    soon, whoever deserves him has not yet been decided.”


    The driver stepped on the gas and the car sped up. Soon, the driver left Adrienne behind.


    Lucinda really wanted the driver to stop.


    Considering her current status, whether she had fallen in love with Stefan or not, she was now his


    wife and had to act like one. She couldn''t sympathize with her love rival.


    The man beside her was frowning all along, exuding a chilling aura, like a demon crawled out of


    hell, cold enough to make one shudder.


    Lucinda suddenly felt relieved, d that she was the one he fancied. If she was his enemy, she


    might’ve been killed without warning. In other words, she was actually incredibly happy and lucky.


    Stefan liked her. He had waited for ten years, and spent ten years waiting for her to grow up, waiting


    for an opportunity to let her walk into his world willingly.


    As for her jumping into the trap and noting out, she couldn''t me him. She was naive,


    thinking that knowing each other for eleven years meant they were old friends.

    Sigh, the past was heart-wrenching. Whenever Lucinda thought of hiring him for five hundred


    dors a month, she felt like poking out her own eyes. Were her eyes blind?


    “Adrienne is really infatuated with you. She just mistook me for your childhood sweetheart.”


    Stefan frowned, “What a delusion!”


    He would acquire the Dewey family''spany and buy their vi, so that Adrienne would have no


    chance to be his neighbor and also exclude her from the ranks of rich girls. Let''s see how


    Adrienne would continue to pester him.


    In the past, Stefan was also annoyed by Adrienne. His subordinates usually helped him fend off


    Adrienne, trying not to let her disturb him.


    He was always toozy to deal with Adrienne''s problem. But now that he had Lucinda, Adrienne''s


    pestering had a greater impact on him. He could no longer ignore her.


    Adrienne probably never thought that one day her family''spany would be acquired because of


    her infatuation with a man.


    “Everyone has the right to love. She didn''t do anything wrong.” Lucinda said, putting a hand on his


    shoulder and the other on his face, smiling, “You''re too handsome. If you were a woman, you would


    be extremely charming.”


    Stefan nced at her sideways, smiling indulgently, “Seems like my wife is very satisfied with my


    appearance.”


    Lucinda stroked him a couple more times before retracting her hand and leaning against the back of


    the seat, “Your facial expression changes too quickly.”


    One moment he was as stern as the king of hell, the next moment, he was as warm as a spring


    breeze, touching her heart.


    Stefan smiled and held her hand, “No matter how my mood changes, it will never change towards


    you.”


    Noah was driving attentively, not daring to make a sound, trying not to be noticeable. They thought


    Stefan wouldn''t say sweet nothings, but Stefan''s sweet nothings were surprisingly good. Noah was


    sure that in less than three months, Stefan''s woman wouldpletely fall in love with him.


    After leaving the vi area, Lucinda got out of Stefan''s car and got into the other car driven by the


    driver.


    The young couple temporarily parted. Stefan headed for Ascend Global, while Lucinda returned to


    her rental. It was still early, she could make updates on some chapters when she got back to her


    rental.


    ……


    Cecilia pushed the door and felt something blocking it. She had to use some force to push it open.


    She stepped out to see what was blocking her door. A person! He was lying at her doorstep,


    sleeping like a log.


    The smell of alcohol was strong. This was a boozy drunkard.


    She didn''t know when he hadin at her doorstep, but this person looked somewhat familiar.


    He was in a suit and tie. If it weren''t for the fact that he was lying on the ground and looking


    disgraceful, he would’ve looked like a sessful man.


    Cecilia thought for a moment and suddenly remembered. “Isn''t this the Mr. Martinez who brought


    people to trouble Lucinda yesterday?”


    Cecilia recognized the identity of the drunkard on the ground.


    Owen brought people to trouble Lucinda when Stefan was present. She didn''t step forward to help


    Lucinda, but she remembered Owen''s appearance and heard about him.


    Pinehurst had five major groups. Ascend Global had been at the top for a long time. Next was the


    Ike group, which was the familypany of the Martinez family.


    Cecilia''s cousin worked at the Ike group, so she knew that Owen from the Martinez family was the


    big boss there.


    "Hey, wake up."


    Cecilia gave Owen a kick. No matter who he was, anyone who messed with Lucinda was bad news!


    She was Lucinda''s ride or die. Anybody who was against Lucinda was an enemy in Cecilia''s book,


    and she wasn’t nice to enemies.


    Owen woke up with a jolt from Cecilia''s kick. It hurt like hell. When he opened his eyes, he saw a


    strange girl looking down at him, and even though he was already awake, she gave him another


    harsh kick.


    This was too much! No one dared to treat him like this! Wait, why did he see this girl the moment he


    woke up?


    Did he get drunk, was he taken home by this little hellion, and then passed out?


    Thinking about this, Owen, ignoring his exhaustion, suddenly sat up and found his clothes were


    neat. He wasn''t in a bed but on the floor, looking like he was at someone else''s doorstep.


    He felt relieved, and theny back down on the ground.
