Chapter 477: What do I an to you? (7)
In the end, only Madeleine’s cries echoed throughout the room.
Ruby Gregory didn’t disturb Madeleine, she just sat quietly beside her.
Madeleine cried for a long ti, as if trying to exhaust all the sadness and grievances in her heart, only stopping when she lifted her head from her hands.
Ruby reached out for a tissue and handed it to Madeleine.
Madeleine wiped her tears and looked at Ruby. Even at this mont, her tone was still relaxed and teasing, “Actually, Ruby, I shouldn’t be sad, right? At least I married Howard, and he’ll be mine for the rest of his life. I made a fortune, didn’t I?”
Ruby didn’t respond, as she didn’t know what to say.
She only knew that sotis, gaining sothing could bring more sorrow and suffering than losing it.
Madeleine curled her lips, smiled, tidied her clothes, and drank a big gulp of water from the glass on the table. Then she turned to Ruby and asked, “What was the important matter you ntioned on the phone?”
Ruby only then rembered her purpose for coming, and her expression beca slightly stiff. After a while, she said, “Madeleine, I ca to borrow money from you.”
Madeleine didn’t even ask what the money was for and simply replied, “How much?”
Ruby pressed her lips together and said, “US$4,120,000.”
After a pause, Ruby added, “Madeleine, this is a huge amount of money, and it might take a long ti to pay you back.”
Madeleine didn’t listen to what Ruby said afterward. After hearing the amount, she stood up, went into the bedroom, and returned with a check, saying, “Use this. We can talk about payback when you have the funds.”
Ruby nodded her head, said “Thank you,” and took the check from Madeleine.

Ms. Taylor was extrely cautious during the entire process of accompanying Steve Burton to Mr. Kentala’s dinner party. She was afraid that one wrong move might touch a nerve and get her in trouble.
However, to her astonishnt, Steve was the sa reserved, aloof person he had always been from the mont they left Pristine’s Enterprises until the end of the dinner party. There was no sign of the man who had angrily destroyed his office earlier.
The dinner party lasted until three o’clock before it ended. Steve had so alcohol, but not much. He appeared tired.
On the way back to the company, Ms. Taylor drove while Steve sat directly behind her. She kept glancing at him through the rearview mirror.
Just before they arrived at the company, Steve suddenly spoke, “The office is probably not cleaned up yet, right?”
Considering the damage, it was impossible for it to be cleaned up so quickly. Ms. Taylor thought to herself, but still respectfully nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Is there anything important happening at the company this afternoon?”
“There is a eting with Mr. Woods, Mr. Henris, Mr. Coleman, and Ms. Madeleine, but today Mr. Coleman and Ms. Madeleine are not in the company, so only Mr. Woods and Mr. Henris are left…” Ms. Taylor glanced at Steve, suggesting, “Do you want to reschedule the eting for tomorrow?”
