Chapter 368


    After Cecilia ended her call with her friend, she rushed to answer the ringing phone at the shop,


    thinking it was a food delivery order. However, to her surprise, it was her mother.


    "Mom, why are you calling?"


    Cecilia was taken aback. Her mom rarely called her at work.


    "Your phone was busy, so I had no choice but to call your shop number."


    "I was just talking to Lucy. Mom, I won''t being home for dinner tonight. Lucy is apanying


    Stefan to a social engagement, and I have to handle the shop."


    Ba seemed as if she hadn’t heard what her daughter had just said and suddenly asked, "What''s


    going on between you and Owen?"


    "We’re divorced, aren’t we? What else could there be?"


    "I''ve seen your divorce papers, but whether it’s genuine or not, I don''t know. With Owen''s


    capabilities, getting a fake divorce paper is as easy as having dinner."


    "Mom, you don''t trust Owen, and you don''t trust your daughter either? I was the one who wanted to


    divorce and it was with your help that I convinced Owen to agree. How could I possibly get a fake


    divorce? The divorce certificate is absolutely real unless the authorities were fake."


    "So, what''s the meaning of him sending a car to our house? And parking it in our yard? Your brother


    saw it and said it''s a Maserati, worth several million."


    Cecilia choked.


    Mr. Martinez!


    She thought she had declined the new car and when he left, his bodyguards drove it away in the


    morning. She thought it was over.


    Who would have thought he would have sent the car to her home, especially at this time.


    At this time, both her mother and grandfather were home; her father and brother also returned at


    this time. The front gate was unlocked, providing Mr. Martinez with convenience.


    "Mom, he came to the shop this morning, wanting to give me that new car, but I rejected it. Is he still


    at our house?"


    "He didn''te; it was his bodyguards who sent the car and left the keys by our doorstep and


    disappeared.”


    Ba appeared quite angry.


    "Since you rejected it, I''ll have your brother return this car. We can''t ept something so valuable.


    Even if you want a real rtionship with him, don''t seek his wealth and valuable gifts. You don’t


    want his parents looking down on you, thinking you''re only with him for his wealth."


    Although Ba didn''t like Owen, she knew her daughter had some feelings for him.


    As for the gap between them in reality, if they could ovee it, what could she, as her mother,


    say?


    "Mom, I understand."


    "Alright, take care of the shop, I''ll go cook."


    After notifying her daughter, Ba arranged for her son to return the new car to Owen.


    Hudson Yates directly drove the car to the Martinez family.


    When he arrived at the Martinez mansion, he was stopped by the security guards. After introducing


    himself, the guards went inside to announce his presence.


    Luckily, the elder wasn''t at home, and only Olina, dressed elegantly and preparing to go out, was


    inside.


    Upon hearing that Cecilia''s brother hade, Olina showed a look of disgust and told the servant,


    "He''s here to freeload. I told you Cecilia is only after our wealth. The elder Mr. Martinez must have


    been fooled by her, I don''t know what methods she used to get his approval."


    The divorce between Owen and Cecilia wasn''t made public, and only the elder Mr. Martinez and


    Derek knew about it.


    "Madam, how should we handle this? Should we let him in or ask him to leave?"


    Olina opened her delicate wallet and took out a stack of money, estimating it to be a few thousand


    dors. She handed it to the servant and instructed, "Give this to Cecilia''s brother, and tell him we''re


    not a charity, take the money and leave. There won''t be a second time, and don''t even think about


    bing rtives to the Martinez family; we don''t have rtives like the Yates family."


    The servant took the money and left.


    Hudson waited for quite some time, but the main gate didn’t open, and his expression grew more


    and more serious.


    It was said that aristocratic families had countless rules and regtions.


    Look, he just wanted to return the car but couldn''t get inside.


    After going back, he needed to have a serious talk with his sister. She shouldn’t fell in love with him


    just because of his good looks and promising future; they couldn''t aspire to the same heights as the


    Martinez family.


    If his sister married into the Martinez family, she wouldn’t be happy for sure.


    Currently, Owen was pursuing his sister, wholeheartedly and could treat her like a princess.


    But once they got married, the passion of their courtship would fade and over time, would Owen still


    protect Cecilia?


    Hudson seriously doubted it.


    Finally, he saw someonee out.


    "Hudson."


    The servant came out, disying remarkable politeness. She handed the money that her mistress


    had given her to Hudson, saying, "Hudson, this is from our mistress. She said the Martinez family is


    not a charity."


    The servant didn’t borate further, believing that Hudson would understand.


    Upon hearing this, Hudson was so angry he could spit fire. He got off the car, thrust the car keys


    into the servant’s hand and said angrily, "Who wants the Martinez family''s dirty money? Do you


    think I''m here to beg? It''s your Mr. Martinez’s shameless act to send a car to my sister. My sister


    declined it and asked me to return it to your Mr. Martinez. Tell Mr. Martinez that the Martinez family''s


    threshold is too high for us Yates. He should stop bothering my sister."


    With that, Hudson turned and left.


    He had to walk a considerable distance to hail a taxi.


    He was so angry!


    They actually treated him as if he were begging for money!


    The Martinez family had gone to far!


    What did the servant said? The money was given by Mrs. Martinez, who was Owen''s mother.


    He couldn''t let his sister marry Owen. How could his sister be happy with a mother-inw who


    looked down on their family?


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Maybe after the marriage, they wouldn’t allow his sister to return to her family; they might be afraid


    she would support her own family with their money.


    Not to mention in a wealthy family, even in a ordinary one, living with inws, if a daughter-inw


    brought too many gifts back to her family, even if the inws didn’t say anything, they might have


    objections in their hearts.


    The servant nced at the money Mrs. Martinez had given her and then at the new car parked at


    the front door along with the car keys. She suddenly felt that she had done something that offended


    Mr. Martinez!


    No, she had even offended the elder Mr. Martinez.


    Ms. Yates was chosen by the elder Mr. Martinez, regardless of what others thought of Ms. Yates,


    the elder Mr. Martinez had always been good to her.


    The servant could only hope that when the elder Mr. Martinez and Mr. Martinez found out about this,


    they wouldn''t take it out on her. After all, she was just following Mrs. Martinez''s orders.


    Just as Olina drove out, she saw a car parked at the front door. She honked the horn furiously.


    Who dared to park in front of the Martinez family''s entrance!
