All Chapters of Married To a Stranger : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Things were quiet at the Knight Estate, while the rest of the Anderson family struggled to contain the fallout. Ruby enjoyed an unusually peaceful day. Owen had left early to deal with some work, but came back at noon to have lunch with her in Matilda. After lunch, Ruby and Matilda walked the grounds enjoying the lazy, sunny day. Hidden behind the hedges, Ruby heard the low chatter of the staff drift toward them. “Shameless. I can't believe she showed up here,” one said. “Isabel's mother, right?” Another commented. “She hardly leaves home. She doesn't look well. If she stays out too long, she'd probably collapse.” “Melissa's mean, she could have at least let her in,” a third voice added. “Or Mrs Anderson could just go home,” said the first. “If I had a daughter like that, I would never show my face ever again.” Ruby stopped. She turned toward the staff members. “Who are you talking about?” she asked. One of them hesitated before answering. “Miss Isabel's mother. She

Ruby felt sorry for Isabel. She was nothing more than a business transaction. But then again, all she wanted was the title. They were all the same. Melissa was about to leave when Matilda stopped her. “A marriage built only on business will never be as strong as one built on love.” Matilda said gently, “you should ask Carter if this is what he really wants.” Melissa's face hardened. “Marriage is business, especially in our circles. Look at Owen. He'd supposedly found the love of his life, or so he said.” Her voice dripped with sarcasm. “Where are they now, not even together and still with no baby?” She shot Ruby a look. “This girl will ruin his marriage, his life, and everything.” With that, she turned around and left, leaving Matilda baffled. “She's completely lost it, I tell you. Till I decide you both were right in front of her, and they call me the one with a bad memory. Mayb

Ruby's gaze swept over the security guards. She clenched her fists, ready to do more than just defend herself if needed. “I don't care what you all think of me. I don't care if you think I'm Owen's wife or a lying bitch. But if any of you so much as lay a hand on Grandma, each and every one of you will be going through hell when Owen gets back.” The guards stiffened. They formed a circle around Ruby, but none of them dared to make a move. Melissa stepped forward. “The doctor's already certified Grandma is perfectly healthy.” She snapped. “She's not made of glass. Now get this woman out of here.” But the guards still hesitated. Everyone there knew what Owen was capable of. Anyone who dared to cross him was dealt with severely. There was a raw ruthlessness to him that terrified everyone. Finally, Melissa lost her temper. “If you don't move right now, you're all fired

Isabel stormed to the Anderson family home, seething. She couldn't force Ruby out herself, but she knew the one person Ruby would have to listen to. She ran inside the house, dramatically wailing. She found Warren and Natalia on the sofa in the living room, watching TV. Seeing her, Warren looked surprised. Honey, what's wrong? Didn't you just move into the Knight estate? What are you doing back here? Natalia's attitude was cold. She was still upset about Isabel's embarrassing marriage. Isabel lowered her head and wiped her tears. No, Daddy, it's okay. I don't want to worry you. She sniffled. I want no trouble. I just came back to get some clothes. But Warren had taken the bait. Sweetheart, talk to us. He urged, gently. Isabel looked around as if deeply conflicted. Then let all the details spill. It's Ruby. She's having a really hard time over the Knights. Warren rolled his eyes, but Natalia was listening. Now, wha

As they drove away, Ruby had already forgotten her little act of kindness, and she had no clue. Of the ripple effect her gesture would cause. Soon a luxury car screeched to a halt by the curb, near the man she had helped. Two bodyguards in black suits stepped out. One of them holding a large, black umbrella. They hurried toward the man she believed was a construction worker. Sorry, Boss. One of them said, traffic was awful. We're late. How did the site inspection go? The man glanced down at the small blue umbrella in his hand and smirked. You could say it was very interesting. He climbed into the backseat without a thought for his mud-streaked clothes, ruining the pristine leather. He placed the little umbrella carefully beside him. Find out where that Bentley is headed, he said calmly. Yes, sir, his bodyguard said. Meanwhile, back at the Anderson residence, Natalia kept glancing at the time she had gathered Warre
