Chapter 374


    "I don’t know what your grandpa was thinking. Even if he didn''t like Ruby, he should have found you


    a woman of status and wealth like Lucinda for marriage."


    Owen retorted bluntly, "Mother, you once said Lucinda was a pauper''s daughter, not fit for Stefan."

    Olina was speechless. She had no idea Lucinda was actually the oldest daughter of the Blue family.


    "Owen, why don''t you look into Cecilia again to see if she''s the biological daughter of the Yates


    family. If she turns out to be a lost billionaire like Lucinda, I could ept her as my daughter-inw."


    The Martinez family and the Anderson family were always at odds, especially the Martinez family,


    who loved topare themselves with the Andersons.


    When they learned that Stefan married Lucinda, a girl with no social status, Olina was overjoyed.


    She thought her son could finally outshine Stefan.


    However, before she could celebrate for two days, her father-inw forced her son to marry a girl


    from an ordinary family. Who knew how Olina was furious that time, but she couldn''t vent her anger


    on her father-inw.


    She turned her anger on Cecilia who didn''t fear Olina at all. Eventually, Olina had to leave in


    disgrace.


    After the revtion that Lucinda was the oldest daughter of the Blue family, Olina had to admit that


    Stefan was good at choosing people. He managed to marry the daughter who had been missing for


    over twenty years.


    Owen was so angry with his mother''s words that he was speechless for a long time. Finally, he said


    with a sulky face, "Mom, Cecilia is the biological daughter of the Yates family. I love her, regardless


    of her background."


    "You love her? She was forced upon you by your grandpa. You should hate her! Because of her,


    you were coerced by your grandpa. And what about Ruby, the woman you truly loved? Even though


    Ruby made mistakes, can you really let her go?"


    Owen turned livid, "Mom, are you suggesting I should start over with Ruby? Have you ever seen me


    and Ruby together in the past decade? Ruby only has eyes for Stefan."


    "Do you want your son to be a cuckold?"


    Olina was speechless. Even she herself couldn''t ept Ruby as her daughter-inw anymore.


    "But you can''t love Cecilia. Her family is less well-off than our butler''s family. If you marry Cecilia,


    what can she bring to you? She has no connections, can''t help with your business, has no talents,


    and can''t share your worries. What can she do other than brewing coffee?"


    "Owen, why don''t you secretly divorce her, and then I can arrange for you to meet other young


    ladies? Any girl in our circle is ten times, hundred times better than Cecilia. You can''t fall in love with


    her."


    At the mention of divorce, Owen''s handsome face fell, "Mom, Cecilia and I are already divorced."


    He even informed his grandpa, hoping he would intervene. But his grandpa didn''t say a word or


    help him, just giving him a look of disdain after long time of silence.


    Owen was helpless and didn''t want Cecilia to suffer. Plus, Cecilia''s heartfelt words finally led them


    to divorce.


    After the divorce, he tried to woo Cecilia again, but it was so hard!


    If they were still married, he would act brazen enough to get in bed with her since they had conjugal


    rtionship.


    "Really? That''s great. I will arrange a blind date for you tomorrow."


    "Mom, I only love Cecilia now and in the future. I won''t change. Please stop doing things that


    sabotage everything. You don''t know how the Yates family treat me, you even offended Hudson,


    making my pursuit even harder."


    Owen pleaded with his mother.


    "Mom, what I want is a wife. I want to see my beloved woman beside me when I wake up, and have


    her waiting for me when Ie home. I don''t need my wife to be capable, and I don''t need her to


    help with my business. I''m not looking for a career manager."


    Seeing his rivals unting their love, Owen envied their married life.


    "Owen."


    "Mom, please don''t interfere with Cecilia and me. Don''t treat the Yates family disrespectfully ever


    again."


    "Owen, Cecilia is not good enough for you. She is out of your league."


    Knowing her son and daughter-inw had divorced, Olina was happy. But when she saw Owen


    bing obsessed with Cecilia, she was angry.


    Although Owen didn''t grow up with her, she knew how persistent he was in love.


    "Mom, you are not me. How do you know she is out of mine league? I think Cecilia is perfect. How


    is she not a good match? We are both human, living under the same sky. Where does your


    conclusione from?"


    "But her family is poor!"


    "They have their own house with a yard. Except for my mother-inw who stays at home taking


    care of the elderly and cooking, everyone else is self-reliant. Although their conditions are not as


    good as ours, they are all hard-working people."


    "Poverty does notst forever, nor does wealth. Their family is so hardworking, who can say they


    will always be poor? Mom, don''t you know our Martinez family was also poor once? It was only from


    my grandpa''s generation that we started to umte wealth."


    The Martinez family has only been wealthy for three generations, far less established than the


    Anderson family.


    "They''re not gold diggers, Mom. Don''t treat them like leeches. Even if I was willing to let them grab


    my money away, they''d probably turn their noses up, finding mine condition not to their taste."


    Olina, her face tight, retorted, "Regardless, I cannot ept Cecilia as my daughter-inw. How am I


    supposed to present her to others?"


    "My wife doesn''t need to be presented by you, Mom. I can handle that."


    "Owen, are you hell-bent on having Cecilia?"


    Owen replied, "Mom, I love Cecilia, really. Being with her, I feel at ease, free from any stress. Even


    if she ruffles my feathers, I still love her."


    He felt a bit embarrassed admitting that the more she dissed him, the more his attention shifted to


    her, eventually developing into affection.


    "Owen!"


    "Mom, can''t you be like Stefan''s mom, respecting your son''s choice? Can''t you be like Mrs.


    Coleman, epting and loving whoever Stefan marries, just as long as he''s willing to wed?"


    "It''s your son getting hitched, and if I don’t feel rejected, then why should you be?"


    Compared to Jeannie, Olina was hopping mad. She snapped, "I am a high-societydy, not like


    her."


    "In our circle, Mrs. Coleman is far more popr than you, Mom. Plus, in terms of status and


    position, it’s far behind for you to catch up with."
