Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 277

Olina furrowed her brows, what the hell was so important?

But since Trenton asked, Olina thought for a moment and decided to go and see. It wouldn’t take too much time.

“Dad, what is this?” she asked, picking up the envelope from the table.

Trenton didn’t answer her.

Olina didn’t mind; she just asked casually. It didn’t matter if Trenton didn’t respond; she got what she needed anyway.

She opened the envelope, reached in, and took out what was inside. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The first thing she touched was a photo, followed by a few papers. She looked down at the photos pulled from the envelope with a puzzled look, and her eyes widened in surprise.

She started to look through the photos one by one.

Her expression changed as she did, first shock, then anger.

After a while, she had a sudden realization and said to Trenton, “Dad, who gave you these photos? They all look like Ruby took them abroad, right? Ruby's so pretty, I'd be surprised if she didn't date anyone while living abroad. As long as she’s still virginal, it’s fine.”

When Ruby returned home, Olina tried to pry into Ruby’s personal life. Ruby had told her that she hadn’t dated anyone during her years abroad.

With that, Olina was relieved.

She trusted Ruby very much because she knew she was deeply in love with Stefan. If Ruby had been up to no good abroad, she herself would feel guilty towards Stefan.

Even if these photos looked suspicious and made her feel a bit uneasy, she still believed in Ruby.

Trenton's gaze was still on the newspaper. He didn't want to watch Olina's foolishness; he just said lightly, "Are you done?"

“What else is there? Just a few papers.”

Olina said, bending her head to look at the content of the papers.

It looked like a hospital record.

When she saw what was written, her facial expression became incredibly colorful, just like a palette, constantly changing.

Finally, she grabbed the items and stormed out.

As soon as she left, Trenton closed the newspaper with a a faint smile on his lips. He called Derek over and asked, “What did Owen have you do just now?”

Derek grinned. “Trenton, Owen’s come to his senses now. That’s thanks to Ms. Yates.”

“Cecilia does deserve some credit, but it's mostly down to Ruby's stupidity; she gave me a big gift. I need to pay a visit to Patrick Anderson and thank him for raising such a fine grandson!”

Trenton's last sentence was heavy.

He was so envious of the Anderson family!

The descendants of the Anderson family were more level-headed than Owen; even Lucinda was impressive.

Watching Ruby’s retaliation, Trenton had to admire Stefan's cunning! He was much smarter than Owen.

“Alright, I'll prepare the gift right away. Trenton, I have a recording for you to listen to.”

Derek took out his phone and played the recording for Trenton.

After listening, Trenton said with satisfaction, “Not bad; he hasn't been stupid to the point of no return. Owen still has hope. Did you find the person I asked you to find?”

Derek paused, quickly glancing upstairs to confirm Owen hadn’t come down. He asked in a low voice, “Trenton, Owen seems to have taken a liking to Cecilia. Do we still need that person’s help?”

“Of course. Owen's infatuation with Ruby is deep. Now that we have these photos and this document, it can make him give up temporarily. But who can guarantee he won't fall for her again? Look at those drug addicts; when they first quit, they all said they wouldn’t do it again. But once they're out, many are tempted again. Owen's feelings for Ruby are just like an addiction. We need to quit for good. Take this opportunity to be determined to make him give up on Ruby completely. He's starting to like Cecilia. According to my plan, he will pay more attention to Cecilia every day, and Ruby will gradually be neglected.”

After thinking for a moment, Derek gave Trenton a thumbs up, praising, “You're brilliant.”

Trenton snorted, “Even if Owen were smarter, he couldn't surpass my strategy. Derek, you did well today so your bonus for this month will be doubled.”

Derek smiled and said, “Thank you, Trenton.”

Trenton remembered Walter; he was the chairman, although he didn't seem to be in charge anymore, he could know anything he wanted to about the company. Walter had always advised Owen to give up on Ruby.

He was good too, deserved a raise.

“Come on, accompany me to see how Olina deals with Ruby. She always complains about me because of Ruby. Now I’m watching her deal with Ruby herself, I'll enjoy that. I can’t miss this opportunity.”

Did Trenton remember that this actually involved his grandson?

Derek still went out with Trenton.

Before they got to the front, they saw several cars parked at the entrance. The cars weren't important but the people standing in front of them were. It was Stefan and his wife, and the people behind them were the Anderson family's bodyguards.

Trenton stopped, somewhat displeased, and said to Derek, “Derek, I don't want to see Stefan right now; what should I do?”

He wanted to see Olina dealing with Ruby, but he didn't want to see Stefan. Every time he saw Stefan, he got really annoyed. Why can't Stefan be his grandson?

Can the Anderson family swap with him?

“Trenton, why don’t we just watch from here? Look! Ms. Scott is clutching Olina's clothes and crying. Seems like she’s about to kneel down. Olina must be having a hard time right now; knowing her temper, she'll probably slap Ms. Scott a few times next.”

No sooner had Derek finished speaking than Olina slapped Ruby across the face a few times in a row. Ruby was seeing stars, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. Her already swollen face was even more puffy.

Derek flinched.

That looked like it hurt. Luckily, it wasn’t his face that got slapped.

Trenton paused for a moment, then after a while said, “We're a bit too far away to see clearly, and I can't hear very well either. Let's move a few meters closer, as long as we're not directly facing Stefan. Every time I see Stefan's face, I feel suffocated.”

Derek nodded and helped Trenton walk a few meters forward.

All Olina felt was a strong surge of anger because Ruby had actually deceived her!

She had been so good to Ruby, and Ruby was always taking advantage of her son. That was bad enough, but to actually deceive her?

If Trenton hadn’t shown her all this, she would have remained in the dark. If her son really was with Ruby, she had no idea how many times she had been betrayed.
