Chapter 257


    Owen didn''t want to leave so soon, but circumstances forced him to.


    He gave Cecilia a meaningful look, but she remained silent.


    "Ba, please ept these gifts; otherwise, I''ll feel like I owe Ms. Yates and always look for


    opportunities to repay her."


    Upon hearing this, Ba immediately objected.


    If Owen continued to seek out her daughter, it could easily lead to misunderstandings.


    "Cecilia, see Mr. Martinez out."


    Ba didn''t mention taking the gifts with him anymore.


    This made Owen breathe a sigh of relief, but he was also very upset.


    Ba quickly epted the gifts, so he wouldn''t have to see Cecilia anymore!


    He was handsome, young, and wealthy. By rights, he should be the ideal son-inw in every


    mother''s eyes, but Ba didn''t want him to associate with Cecilia!


    "I''ll see him out."


    Devon suddenly stood up and said to Owen, "Mr. Martinez, please!"


    "Devon, please sit. I can leave by myself; there’s no need for an escort."


    Maybe Owen got an earful from the old man; afraid of getting another lecture if he was escorted out,


    he quickly asked the old man to sit down, got up, and left the Yates family with his bodyguards in a


    gloomy mood.


    He left awkwardly during his first visit after marriage.


    Ascend Global.


    When Stefan walked into the office building, everyone who saw him was stunned.


    Stefan was speechless.


    He stopped and asked the two receptionists, "Why are you looking at me like that?"


    The two receptionists didn''t dare say that his wife might be cheating; they just smiled and replied,


    "Mr. Coleman, you look great today!"


    Stefan stuck his hands in his pockets and said narcissistically, "When do I not look great?"


    The two receptionists kept their smiles and said, "Right, you always look great."


    Stefan didn''t say anything else and went straight to his office.


    When he took the elevator to the top floor, as soon as he stepped out, he saw his brothers, even the


    youngest one who was about to start school; they were all lined up in suits, looking like they were


    participating in a beauty contest.


    Stefan almost thought he had gone to the wrong ce.


    He turned around to leave, remembered he was indeeding to thepany, then stopped and


    turned around to look at his nine brothers.


    "Stefan."


    His nine brothers called his name in unison.


    "What''s up? Did you guys get yourselves into big trouble and are waiting for me to clean up the


    mess?"


    "Stefan, we just wanted toe and see you."


    Liam was also an older brother to the other eight, so he answered first.


    "You came tough at me, didn''t you?"


    "Stefan, do you know about the video?"


    Liam gave a smallugh.


    Stefan said displeasedly, "You guys all know; how would I not know?"


    He knew about it yesterday.


    Lucy said she wanted to see the embarrassing scene after everyone found out the truth, and she


    told him not to do anything.


    So he just watched the show with everyone else.


    "Clearly, it''s Lucinda and Mr. Blue''s private matter; others may not know, but we all know that those


    videos were manipted just to mislead others."


    Eric felt a wave of relief.


    "I thought I would be needed, but now it seems I''m superfluous. I''m going back to sleep. I stayed up


    all night ying games."


    Judson''s words were cut off by the nine brothers'' res. He immediately tensed up.


    Oh no!


    He said the wrong thing!


    "Someone take him back; each of you give him a few sets of high school test papers to do to


    prevent him from having free time to y games."


    Stefan instructed.


    Judson called out, "Stefan, I''ve been epted to college, school is about to start, and I no longer


    need to do high school test papers."


    In high school, his nine brothers loved to give him test papers as gifts. Under pressure, his test


    scores were very satisfying and didn''t disappoint his brothers.


    After the tests, he finally had a rxed vacation. He didn''t want to do papers anymore; he had a


    fear of it.


    Secretly, after the exams, he spent every day tearing up book pages and test papers to make paper


    folds. His achievements were well hidden, and his brothers didn''t know.


    "If you''re afraid of high school test papers, do high school."


    Stefan''s words were indisputable.


    Judson was speechless.


    That''s Stefan; the more he feared something, the more he found things to give him a hard time.


    "Go back to work."


    Stefan said seriously, "My issue is not so easy to solve."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the young masters ran faster than rabbits.


    "Liam."


    The fastest runner, Liam, was ironically called back by Stefan.


    Liam, who had one foot in the elevator, had to pull it back. When he turned to face Stefan, his


    handsome face was guarded, carefully looking at him.


    "I heard you''ve been outte recently."


    Liam hurriedly said, "Stefan, it''ste by the time I finish work; I don''t want to disturb everyone at


    home, so I stay at our hotel. If you don''t believe me, you can ask Eric."


    "It''s not abouting homete; it''s about noting home at all. Go home early tonight."


    Stefan finished, waved his hand, and said, "That''s all; you can go."


    Liam re-entered the elevator, and as soon as the elevator doors closed, he immediately took out his


    phone to call Tiffany.


    As soon as Tiffany answered, he asked through gritted teeth, "Tiffany, did you tell Stefan I don''t


    come home at night?"


    Tiffany hung up on him.


    "Oh, dare to hang up on me, looking for a fight, huh?"


    Liam cursed in anger.


    A light voice came from behind him: "Liam, you can''t beat Tiffany."


    Liam turned around, a look of horror on his face. "Campbell, how are you here?"


    "I came in with you."


    Liam: "How did I not see you?"

    Campbellughed, saying, "Liam, I learned how to be invisible; that''s why you didn''t see me even


    though I''m so big and came in with you. When Stefan mentioned you didn''te homest night,


    your mind immediately drifted off to Tiffany."


    That was the main reason Liam hadn''t seen him.


    Liam said, "Campbell, get this straight, it''s not that I can''t handle that bossy woman, it''s just that I let


    her win, got it? She''s a woman; I''m a man; men shouldn''t fight with women; I always let her have


    her way!"


    "Liam, I think Tiffany has a lot of feminine charm, not at all like a bossy woman."


    "If attacking me like that isn''t being bossy, then what is?"


    "Liam, you''re such a gentleman, always letting Tiffany have her way, even when she''s so rough with


    you. I wouldn''t be that gracious; if Tiffany confronts me, I''ll go all out and leave her picking up her


    teeth off the floor."


    Liam was speechless.


    His brother really gave him a headache; can he just disappear for a while?
