Married To a Stranger Chapter 299
"What condition?"Owen was quiet for a second, then said, his own confusion clear, "Jonathan Cabot says Cecilia wants to marry me."Ruby stared at him, completely baffled. A million questions raced through her mind. After a beat, she asked hesitantly, "Cecilia has a crush on you? I never got that vibe from her back in New York."Owen was just as puzzled.Meanwhile, at the Cabot residence, Jonathan looked helplessly at his sister. "Cc, you don't even like the guy."Why are you doing this?"Cecilia just stared him down. "I have to watch over Owen for Ruby. I can't let him get tangled up with another placeholder."Jonathan was speechless. The deal with the Cabots was at a complete standstill. Miles had tried to negotiate with them several times, but he couldn't even get his foot in the door.Ethan Ashworth went in person on Owen's behalf, out of respect. Jonathan let him in, but their condition didn't change.Finally, Owen called Jonathan himself.The two men exchanged few words. The lin

Miles was stunned. "Wait, Miss Cabot, hold on."Jonathan immediately stepped between them, gesturing sharply toward the door."Mr. Jordan, the Cabot family will no longer be doing business with your company, Please leave."Miles stood there, utterly bewildered. He opened his mouth to protest, but Cecilia's piercing shriek cut him off."Go! Get out!" She was clearly hysterical. Miles held up his hands in surrender."Hey, okay, I'm going, I'm going. Just calm down. Don't work yourself up." Miles left the Cabot Estate, feeling completely baffled and dejected. As soon as the door closed behind him, Cecilia cried out, "Jonathan, why?"No one in this world can ever replace her."With those final words, her eyes rolled back in her head, and she collapsed.Jonathan lunged forward to catch her, his face tight with concern, but not surprise.Lately, Cecilia had been so overwhelmed by grief that fainting had become an alarmingly regular occurrence.He carried her upstairs, passing their parents,

Jonathan tapped a specific line on the digital report. "Rejuvenate, a brand-new startup, just closed a massive, high-stakes joint venture with both the Sterling Group and the Anderson Group for a cutting-edge new energy project."The industry rumors say that Reina personally authored the proprietary R&D white paper that secured the deal."Cecilia blinked, her mind racing. "But Reina didn't even major in advanced sciences or engineering. How could a sheltered housewife suddenly pioneer a breakthrough in proprietary R&D?""Exactly," Jonathan murmured, his eyes sharpening. "How could she?"He stared out into the dark street, the puzzle pieces suddenly shifting in his mind."Cecilia, back then Ruby's primary corporate footprint was entirely within the new energy sector."Before she passed, her representatives actually approached the Cabot Group to negotiate an exclusive supply chain for raw manufacturing materials."It wasn't until much later that our board discovered she was the legendar

Ruby stared at the glowing screen. It was an encrypted international message, its routing numbers completely untraceable. Even a master hacker wouldn't be able to find the source. The message itself was blunt and simple. "Mission One: Wembley and Sterling partnerships nearing completion. "Mission Two: Secure corporate partnerships with the three remaining great families of Boston. ASAP." Ruby was completely stunned. She read the text aloud to Owen, her frown deepening. "This isn't just a mission anymore. This is a corporate hostile takeover. They want me to build an overnight business empire. "Everyone knows the elite five families of Boston are bitter rivals. They exist solely to keep each other's power in check. "No single enterprise has ever managed to partner with all five at the exact same time." Owen shot a brief, admiring glance over at her. "Sounds like you've already got a solid handle on the Boston corporate scene." Ruby rubbed the bridge of her nose, a small smirk

Jonathan went quiet. After a long, heavy moment, he said softly, "I'll remember her too, Cecilia.""I know." Cecilia wiped frantically at her tears. "You haven't said a word about it for a month, but you've lost, what, 10 lb?"I know the truth, brother. You had a crush on her, didn't you? Jonathan?"Jonathan didn't answer. Cecilia pressed on, her voice rising with emotion."See, you just had a simple crush on her, and you're running yourself ragged. But look at Owen. He hasn't lost a single pound."Of course, Owen had lost weight, but the moment Ruby had seen his gaunt, hollow cheeks, she had spent the entire past week completely focused on nursing him back to health.Ruby was an incredible cook, and her meals were as nourishing as they were delicious.Under her constant care, Owen looked vibrant again. His easy, self-assured smile was fully restored.He looked absolutely nothing like the shattered, broken man from the funeral, which was precisely why Cecilia was so utterly convinced.

Mia thrashed against him, panic rising in her chest. "Don't!" She shoved Caleb back with all her strength, her hand flying protectively over her stomach. "I'm only a month along," she pleaded, her voice trembling. "We can't do this. I could have a miscarriage." "So?" Caleb scoffed, completely unmoved. "Are you really that worried?" Tears welled in Mia's eyes. "Caleb, how can you say that? This is your child too!" "I told you it's not mine!" He snapped, his voice dropping to a low, menacing growl. "Why are you really that attached to it? Is that why you refuse to get an abortion?" One look at the cold fury on his face told Mia it was hopeless. Nothing she said would ever get through to him. Defeated, she closed her eyes and let her arms drop to her sides in total surrender. But her compliance only seemed to infuriate him more. He stormed over to the sofa and sat down, his posture radiating a cold, tyrannical authority. Caleb sneered at her innocence. "Don't play dumb with me. W
Married To a Stranger Owen Knight
In an instant, Owen's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, completely void of emotion. He stared at her for a second, then turned to head back into the party. Ruby quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Owen's brow furrowed. Move, he ordered. His voice was low and smooth. The kind of v

To them,She was still the unwanted one, and Ruby never bothered correcting them. Let them underestimate her, let them sneer. Because the day they learned she was Doctor N, they'd latch on to her again and use her all over. Ruby vowed that she would never let that happen. There was no way in hell

Miss Anderson, you're already married. You cannot marry again. The shocked city clerk said flatly as he slid a paper towards Ruby. Here's your marriage certificate, so we cannot register you again. Ruby blinked, shocked. I'm sorry. What did you just say? You're married? He snapped, waving to the
