Chapter 322


    "Cecilia, Cecilia."


    Lucinda suddenly called out in a panic.


    Cecilia, who was busy counting seven checks, asked her, "What''s up? Why the jitters?"


    "He''s here, he''s here."


    Lucinda was genuinely anxious, "Mr. Malicious is here, you gotta hide."


    Cecilia was momentarily startled, but quickly gathered up the seven checks. This was her money


    from selling her husband.


    "Is he really here?"


    "Take a look outside. What a coincidence, Ruby just left and before she even got in the car, she saw


    Owen''s entourageing. Oh right, didn''t Owen leave two bodyguards to protect you at the door?


    It must be them who notified him."


    Stefan also arranged bodyguards to protect Lucinda, but they were hidden. Even if Lucinda knew,


    Zoey and Zack were still protecting her from the shadows.


    They didn''t want Lucinda to feel like she was constantly being watched.


    Owen was more straightforward, his two bodyguards had been squatting around Serendipity Cafe


    all day.


    Cecilia couldn''t ignore them even if she wanted to.


    Ruby came in following a delivery guy, the Martinez family''s bodyguards thought she was here to


    see Lucinda, so they didn''t react.


    But when they saw Ruby was talking to Cecilia alone, they realized something was off and quickly


    notified Owen toe. They were watching from outside, but didn''t see a catfight between the two


    women.


    However, they saw Owen seemed to have received something from Ms. Scott and gave Ms. Scott a


    piece of paper, then Ms. Scott came out all joyful.

    Upon receiving the bodyguard''s notification, Owen was also worried about a catfight between


    Cecilia and Ruby. He wasn''t worried that Cecilia would be at a disadvantage, he was worried that


    Cecilia would hurt her hand from hitting someone, so he rushed over to see if he could be of any


    help.


    However, just as he arrived at the entrance of Serendipity Cafe, he saw Ruby walking out in high


    spirits.


    It seemed like they didn''t have a fight.


    Owen suddenly wanted to hide, not wanting to confront Ruby face to face.


    Unfortunately, he didn''t have the ability to be invisible.


    Ruby recognized his convoy and saw himing. She quickly walked over with a sweet smile on


    her heavily made-up face.


    In the past, whenever he saw her smile like this, Owen would feel ttered. But now, he always felt


    that when Ruby smiled, her mouth was stretched too wide, it wasn''t pretty. Cecilia''s smile was much


    brighter.


    "Sure enough, he''s here. These two really have a knack for running into each other." Cecilia sighed.


    Lucinda urged her, "What are you still doing here? Take advantage of Mr. Malicious being held up


    by Ruby, and the Martinez family''s bodyguards have also gone over, you''d better run."


    "Why should I run?"


    Cecilia was still clueless, "I''ve never been afraid of Mr. Malicious."


    Lucinda chided her, "You just took fifty thousand from Ruby and sold Mr. Malicious. Any man would


    be furious if he knew his wife sold him. Who knows what he might do in his anger."


    Cecilia said, "You''re right, I better run away now. Lucy, I''ll hide at your ce."


    "My rented ce has a very flimsy door which can easily be broken down, so you''d better go home


    as soon as possible. There are people at your ce, and your elders. Even with all the courage in


    the world, Owen wouldn''t dare to do anything to you at your home."


    "Okay, I''ll go home right away, I''ll leave immediately. I''m going to turn off my phone. Lucy, can you


    help me find someone to cash these checks at my ce? I need to cash these checks as soon as


    possible, otherwise Mr. Malicious might snatch them away."


    Lucinda chuckled, "This is arge sum of money and very unsafe to cash it like this. Besides, most


    people can''te up with that much cash at once, you''ll need to make an appointment at least."


    Cecilia had already opened the door of the store, taking advantage of Owen being held up by Ruby


    and the bodyguards'' attention being on them, she quickly left.


    Only when she had run a good distance did she g down a bus on the street, got on the bus, and


    felt much safer.


    Not long after Cecilia got on the bus, Owen finally got rid of Ruby. He walked into Serendipity Cafe


    with a gloomy face, clutching the divorce agreement that Ruby had shown him.


    Lucinda was working inside the cashier''s counter.


    Seeing hime in, she pretended to just notice him.


    "Mr. Malicious, howe you have time to drop by? Don''t you have social obligations to attend to?"


    Owen threw the divorce agreement on the cashier''s counter, his face bing even gloomier,


    "Lucinda, Cecilia can call me Mr. Malicious, but you can''t call me Mr. Malicious!"


    Lucinda was not scared by his anger, she nodded, "True, Mr. Malicious is Cecilia''s nickname for


    you. Mr. Martinez, what''s the meaning of this? If you damage my cashier''s counter, I don''t care who


    you are, I''ll make you pay for it."


    "Why do you and Cecilia only care about money, always talking about money, talking about


    compensation."


    "I''m talking about principle."


    Owen was left speechless.


    "Where''s Cecilia?"


    Owen looked around, there were no customers in the store now. Basil was in the pastry room, the


    staff was wiping tables with a cloth.


    But Cecilia was nowhere to be seen.


    Lucinda casually replied, "I''m not in the store during the day, I onlye over in the evening to take


    over, so Cecilia can rest at night. As for where she goes, I have no idea. I''m just her friend, not her


    psychic."


    Owen gave her a cold stare.


    Lucinda picked up her phone from next to theputer, turned on the camera function, and started


    recording Owen.


    "Lucinda, what are you doing?"


    Owen reached out to grab her phone, but she leaned back, creating some distance. Owen didn''t get


    the phone.


    Lucinda sent a short video she had taken to her boyfriend, along with a voice message. Owen only


    heard her saying, "Honey, your arch-nemesis is ring at me. I''m so scared."


    Owen shouted, "Lucinda!"


    This woman actually snitched!


    So evil!


    Hasn''t he suffered enough from Stefan?


    "What can you do other than snitching to Stefan? If you''re gutsy, confront me directly."


    "Stefan, don''t listen to your wife''s nonsense. I''m just pissed off by Cecilia, I''m not ring at your


    wife, I''m ring at... Anyway, even if you gave me all the courage in the world, I wouldn''t dare to


    mess with your wife, because behind your wife is the Blue family, and I''m scared."


    Owen felt that ever since he met Lucinda and Cecilia, he could never hold his head high in front of


    Stefan.


    Lucinda didn''t actually send the message to Stefan, she sent it to Cecilia.


    But Cecilia''s phone was off, so she couldn''t see the message Lucinda sent yet.


    Lucinda sessfully made Owen panic, then she put down her phone, looked at her unfinished


    manuscript, and said to Owen, "Stop ring at me, I''m just telling the truth. If you don''t believe me,


    go find out yourself, don''t disturb my work."


    Owen was left speechless.


    He had already had someone monitoring Cecilia, who was in the shop.


    Even though Lucinda didn''t want him to find Cecilia, he had to find out this heartless Cecilia!
