Chapter 271


    Because Cecilia didn''t give him a lift, Owen had to drive himself home.


    On the way home, his phone buzzed a dozen times, all from Ruby, but he didn''t pick up any of the


    calls.


    He was driving, and taking calls would distract him, which could turn out to be dangerous. He didn''t


    want to risk an ident because of her.


    Frustrated by Owen''s silence, Ruby threw her phone on the floor in a fit of anger. Seeing this,


    Megan rushed to pick it up.


    "Ruby, what''s the point in getting mad? I''ve told you countless times, but you never take my words


    seriously. Look at how you treat Owen. How could he not be upset? You run to him when you need


    him, and to Stefan when you don''t. What do you think he is? A convenience store? When you need


    him, you call him over. When you don''t, you ditch him. See, you''ve broken his heart. When I called


    him, he wasn''t very keen toe over, although he finally agreed toe and see you. But who


    knows, he didn''t show up and turned off his phone for a whole day. Ruby, either Owen is


    heartbroken and doesn''t want to deal with your drama anymore, or the elders of the Martinez family


    are controlling him, not letting hime. When you called that girl, what did she say?"


    Ruby snapped, "Cecilia gave me a good scolding on the phone. I think she might hit me, so I dare


    not go to Serendipity Cafe to find her."


    Cecilia was Owen''s wife. In Cecilia''s eyes, Ruby was the one who destroyed their marriage. It was


    reasonable for Cecilia to want to hit Ruby and to make her suffer.


    Ruby was scared, so she didn''t dare to find Cecilia. She could only vent her anger at home by


    smashing things.


    "Owen wouldn''t treat me like this. It must be one of the elders controlling him, not letting hime


    to see me, not letting him help me. Mom, what should I do? Now that I know Lucinda''s real identity, I


    know that she is powerful. I''m in trouble with both the Blue family and Stefan. Stefan can easily find


    out that I did it. He loves Lucinda so much, he''s definitely going to settle the score with me."


    Ruby was extremely anxious, feeling like this time she was really screwed.


    If even Owen wouldn''t help her, then she wouldn''t be able to survive in Pinehurst.


    Why did things turn out like this?


    It was Lucinda!


    Yes, it was certainly Lucinda!


    Lucinda turned out to be the youngdy of the Blue family!


    Thinking of the Blue family''s status in Skywatch and the wealth of the Blue family''s master, Ruby


    was insanely jealous.


    "Lucinda must know it was me. She intentionally didn''t rify, letting things escte, so she has


    evidence to sue me for defamation. She''s watching my performance like watching a monkey show,


    watching me being self-satisfied and excited until I think I''ve won, then she slowly rifies the


    sibling rtionship. She''s so cruel!"


    Ruby was crazy for a whole day, but when she calmed down a bit, she realized that she had fallen


    into a trap.


    "Ruby, stop pondering about why things have happened. Go find Owen now, he''s yourst hope. If


    you push Owen away too, what else do you have?"


    Megan was both angry and heartbroken for her daughter.


    Ruby was stunned. Would she even lose Owen, herst hope?


    She never thought she would lose Owen''s love. Owen was so affectionate towards her.


    In the past, no matter what she did, Owen would understand her, and forgive her.


    No, Owen wouldn''t leave her. He was not answering her calls at that point, it must be the elders of


    the Martinez family interfering with him.


    Why won''t that old man just kick the bucket!


    Once he was gone, Owen can truly take over the family business, and no one will be able to stop


    him from helping her in the future.


    Ruby was very annoyed with the elder of the Martinez family.


    Trenton, “The more you resent me, the longer I''ll live, up to 120 years old, till you''re old and still


    can''t marry into the Martinez family!”


    "Mom, I''m going to find Owen now."


    Ruby finally listened to her mother''s advice.


    She grabbed the car keys and took back the phone that she had thrown on the floor from her


    mother''s hand, and then hurried out.


    As soon as she opened the door, she saw a servant. The servant seemed to want to knock on the


    door, but she came out first.


    "What''s up?"


    Ruby asked with a nk expression.


    The servant hurriedly said, "Miss, Stefan is here."


    Stefan?


    At first Ruby was surprised, then scared.


    If this was before, she''d be over the moon if Stefan came looking for her, but now she did something


    wrong and felt guilty. Thest thing she wanted was Stefan toe to find her.


    He must be here on behalf of Lucinda.


    Ruby turned around to go back to her room.


    "Miss, Stefan said, if you don''te downstairs, then don''t me him for being rudeter."


    Ruby stopped, turned her head and worriedly asked, "Did hee alone?"


    "He brought six bodyguards."


    Ruby felt uneasy in her heart and instructed the servant, "You go downstairs and tell Stefan, I''ve


    already gone to bed. Whatever it is, we''ll talk about it tomorrow. Don''t say I don''t want to see him,


    he''s not an unreasonable person. If you say this, he won''t do anything to you."


    The servant gave a bitter smile, "He said, even if you are sleeping, I have to wake you up. He gave


    you ten minutes to think about it. If you don''te downstairs in ten minutes, he won''t be polite."


    "What happened?"


    Megan came out and curiously asked.


    "Mom, Stefan is here, he must be here to vent for Lucinda. Mom, I''m scared, can you go downstairs


    to deal with him?"


    Ruby grabbed her mother''s hand, pleading.


    Thank God her mother came back from abroad because she was worried about her, otherwise, she


    would have no one to rely on.


    "Avoiding the problem won’t solve anything. Let''s go, I''ll go down with you. I want to see what he


    can do to you!"


    Megan pulled her daughter downstairs.


    Ruby was nervous, but being pulled by her mother, she had no choice but to go downstairs.


    Stefan was sitting on a single sofa. The six bodyguards he brought with him were standing behind


    him.


    He had a serious look on his face, holding something that looked like a folder in his hand. Ruby had


    no idea about what was in it.


    Ruby guessed it was evidence that he had gathered. The fact that he was here on behalf of his wife


    meant that he must have had solid proof, enough to make her feel guilty in denial.


    "Stefan, long time no see."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Megan had already startedughing while she was still on the stairs.


    "Coming to visit me thiste, what''s up?"


    Stefan looked at them coldly. As they approached him, he said indifferently, "Megan, where''s your


    bathroom? I think you might need to take a look in the mirror and see if you''re worth it."


    Megan was stunned for a moment, her smile frozen on her face.


    Soon, she said, "Stefan, don''t get so worked up, I''m good friends with your mom. You used to call


    me Mrs. Scott. Is there something you want to talk to me about tonight?"


    "My mom''s friends have never included Megan. Megan, don''t be so full of yourself, and don''t act like


    an elder in front of me."


    Stefan was very cold towards Megan, and he stood up.


    His eyes were cold as ice as he stared at Ruby, taking a step forward.


    "Stefan, stay away, what are you trying to do?"


    Ruby was terrified. Seeing him approach, she screamed and turned to run.


    "Bring her back to me!"


    Stefan gave the order to his bodyguards.


    Two of the six bodyguards he brought with him quickly ran towards Ruby, who had already run up


    the stairs, grabbed her, and without hesitation, brought Ruby back.
