Faux Vows, True Desires

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 be coming home for dinner tonight. Lucy is accompanying Stefan to a social engagement, and I have to handle the shop."

Becca 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. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

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't come; it was his bodyguards who sent the car and left the keys by our doorstep and disappeared.”

Becca appeared quite angry.

"Since you rejected it, I'll have your brother return this car. We can't accept something so valuable. Even if you want a real relationship 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 Becca didn't like Owen, she knew her daughter had some feelings for him.

As for the gap between them in reality, if they could overcome 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, Becca 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 had come, 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 dollars. 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 becoming relatives to the Martinez family; we don't have relatives 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 regulations.

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 someone come out.

"Hudson."

The servant came out, displaying 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 elaborate 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-in-law who looked down on their family?

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 in-laws, if a daughter-in-law brought too many gifts back to her family, even if the in-laws didn’t say anything, they might have objections in their hearts.

The servant glanced 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!
