Chapter 334
"Where did you spend the night?" Cecilia asked Owen, trying to grasp at straws.
Like Stefan, Owen owned a ton of properties. He usually picked the one closest to hispany for
convenience.
The ce wasn''t too far from the city hall.
"I was at home. I had to tell my grandpa about the divorce," Owen said.
Owen had hoped his grandpa would step in to stop their divorce. But to his surprise, despite having
insisted on him getting married, Grandpa just looked at him with an obvious disapproval when he
announced the divorce.
Maybe it''s because he failed to keep Cecilia.
Owen felt devastated; even his grandpa didn''t have his back.
"Owen, are you doing this on purpose? It''s an hour''s drive from your house to the city hall. You, on
the other hand, rode a bike. By the time you got there, the city hall was closed."
Riding a bike would take up more time.
Cecilia didn''t understand why these wealthy people liked to live in the suburbs.
The Martinez family lived in a huge mansion located in the suburbs, which was too far from the city.
She had no say in where they wanted to live, but right now, she felt so annoyed.
"Everyone in the city knows my license te. Do you want us to divorce in a high-profile manner? If
you don''t mind, I can go to the city hall with all guns zing. We''ll be the talk of the town tomorrow,"
Owen said.
Cecilia was stunned for a while.
"Check if there are any restaurants or coffee shops near the city hall. Have something to eat. I left
early in the morning and rode for so long. I''m tired, hungry, and thirsty. I need to find a ce to eat."
Cecilia was speechless.
The city hall was probably closed when he got there by bike because of the long distance. By the
time they had something to eat, it would be dark.
He must be doing this on purpose. But what could she do?
Ride her electric scooter to pick him up?
Her electric scooter wouldn''tst the round trip, not to mention the time wasted.
Cecilia hung up the phone,pletely pissed off.
Frustrated, Cecilia needed someone to vent to, and the only person she could turn to was Lucinda.

Lucinda had already started her work. As a low-level employee, she had to sneak into the bathroom
to answer the phone.
Crouched in thest stall of the bathroom, Lucinda couldn''t help butugh after hearing her friend''s
rant. "So what are you going to do? Wait for him to get to the city hall. It''ll be dark by then. How are
you going to get a divorce?"
"He''s so annoying. I was right to call him Mr. Malicious."
After venting her anger on Owen over the phone, she turned to Lucinda. "Lucinda, can you contact
your husband? I need him to help me find out where Owen is hiding. I''ll ask my brother to drive me
there."
"Of course, if it''s about giving Owen a hard time, Stefan would be more than happy to help. Are you
sure you want a divorce?"
"I''m sure. I didn''t want to marry him in the first ce. He didn''t marry me out of love, and I didn''t
marry him because I wanted to. It''s like a forcefully plucked melon. Even if you let it ripen, it doesn''t
have the sweet taste of naturally ripened ones."
Lucinda understood Cecilia''s doubts. Cecilia had said that if Owen could win her heart again and
make her fall in love with him, she would remarry him.
This would be out of true love, not out of obligation, with no contracts and no problems solved with
money.
"Then I''ll text Stefan and ask him to help you find out where Owen was."
"Lucy, thanks for the help."
"There''s no need for thanks. If anyone should apologize, it should be me. You signed a marriage
contract with Owen because of me. Owen says Mr. Malicious is your exclusive nickname for him, so
I can''t call him that anymore."
Ceciliaughed, "Sometimes he was like a three-year-old."
"His emotional world was so simple. Before, his heart only had room for Ruby, but now he''s starting
anew. I think you''ll fill his heart."
Regardless of Owen''s past, he was a man worthy of Cecilia''s trust.
Now, they were getting a divorce, but given Owen''s dedication to love, he would try to win Cecilia
back.
Lucinda silently wished them luck. Now, it was up to Owen to win his wife back.
After asking her friend for help, Cecilia texted Owen, asking him to share his location.
Owen wasn''t stupid, and he replied, [I have no signal, no inte.]
Cecilia responded: [If you have no signal, no inte, how did you receive my message and reply?]
Then, his phone supposedly crashed!
Cecilia: [You think I can''t do anything about this, Owen? Don''t underestimate me.]
Luckily, she had asked Mr. Coleman for help.
Upon receiving the message from his beloved wife, Stefan fell into deep thought.
Campbell Anderson, who hade to report work to him, asked curiously, "Stefan, what''s wrong?
You look serious all of a sudden."
"Campbell, Lucy asked me to give Owen a hard time. Should I do it?"
Campbell was speechless. "Was it something illegal?"
"Not really. She just asked me to find out where Owen is now."
Campbell was puzzled, "Why would she ask that?"
"Her best friend is Owen''s wife. They''re getting a divorce today. Owen loves his wife very much and
doesn''t want to divorce. So he''s ying some tricks, and now his wife is asking for my help."
"Owen got married in secret? I thought he''s been hung up on Ruby?"
"His situation isplicated. Campbell, tell me, should I help Lucy''s friend or not?"
Even though he got a kick out of messing with Owen.
But, if he tantly did this thing, Owen would be all over his case.
He didn’t fancy seeing Owen whining in his face every day.
Saying how because of him, Owen lost his wife and he would be driven up the wall by Owen.
They''ve known each other since they were kids, and Stefan knew all about Owen''s clingy ways.
"This is between you and your wife, and I ain''t getting involved." Campbell made his stance crystal
clear right away.
"Stefan, I''ve reported everything about work. I got to get back to it."
Fearing getting dragged into this, Campbell quickly stood up, grabbed his stuff, and bolted.
