Chapter 316 Two Choices
+8 Pearls
Owen snapped. “He’s already married! It doesn’t matter if you’re unwilling—you’re the other woman, you know that?”
“Yunice was able to cut her losses in time. Why can’t you? She left Paul, and now she’s doing just fine with Wyatt.”
Again with the comparisons to Yunice. Why was everyone suddenly on Yunice’s side?
Elsie said. “But if I don’t sell the car, I won’t be able to pay back the five million I owe…..”
Owen said righteously, “Then why did you borrow it in the first place?”
“Why did you bring Jason’s wife to the birthday banquet?”
Elsie argued. “Owen, it really wasn’t me. Yunice set me up. That day at the birthday banquet, she’s the one who locked Paul and me in there together!”
Owen shook his head. “You’re still making excuses. Elsie, when did you become so calculating?”
Elsie’s heart thudded. She knew Owen’s patience with her was running out.
Her gaze instantly dropped, looking like she was about to cry. “Owen, I know I was wrong. I’ll return everything Paul gave me right away.
Owen finally softened. He patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Elsie, believe me, things will get better. I’ve already lost Yunice. I don’t want to lose you too. So please… don’t let me down again.”
Yunice sat in the car, the window cracked just slightly, but Owen’s words came through loud and clear.
So in Owen’s mind, even now, he still thought she left because she had let him/down?
He probably hadn’t realized that the bigger disappointment hadn’t even come yet.
After leaving the pawn shop, Owen and Elsie returned to the Saunders family home and gathered everything Paul had ever given–gifts, deeds, jewelry.
Then they charged over to the Powell family.
But what was humiliating was…. they couldn’t even get the door open.
Just then, another car pulled up beneath the Powell estate’s arched entrance.
Yunice and Oscar got out of the car.
Yunice wore a loose–fitting qipao with a shawl draped over her shoulders. Without looking left or right, she walked up to the Powell family’s front gate and raised her hand to knock.
Owen saw it was her. A flash of something crossed his eyes, but he quickly remembered that Yunice had already cut ties with
him.
His pride wouldn’t allow him to show anything else, so his face quickly turned cold again.
He turned to Oscar and asked, “Oscar, what are you doing here?”
Oscar gave him a sideways glance. “You alone represent the Saunders family now?”
Owen swallowed his anger and asked, “Then what is she doing here?”
Oscar said, “If Yunice weren’t here, you wouldn’t even make it past the front gate of the Powell family.”
