Chapter 787: Chapter 787: The Most Romantic Proposal (17)
“Ruby Gregory, do you know why Steve Burton knew about you and Edric Reat going to the holiday villa?”
Ruby’s movents paused for a mont.
Seated next to her, Steve Burton’s expression tensed briefly before returning to his usual leisurely deanor, taking his ti to pour himself a cup of tea and slowly sipping it.
Maya Mitchell, as if looking down on Ruby’s intellect, contemptuously laid out the whole story: “That’s because I found a note Edric wrote to you when going through your bed, which revealed his plan to et you at the holiday villa. I also saw you two at the train station together. Then, I bought a phone card on the overpass – the ones without real-na registration at that ti – and sent a text ssage to Steve Burton to inform him of what I knew!”
“Ruby Gregory, you’ve always wanted to marry Steve Burton, haven’t you? If not for that text ssage I sent, perhaps you would have been happily married and had kids together three years ago?”
Ruby felt a growing fire in her chest, as if she needed to vent her anger before succumbing to internal injuries. She picked up the tea cup on the table, fiercely gulped down the tea, then slamd the cup back on the table.
...
Steve Burton, on the other hand, leisurely picked up the teapot and slowly refilled Ruby’s cup.
Watching this, Maya Mitchell let out a cold scoff and continued her aggressive tirade: “And, Ruby Gregory, I saw your indiscretion with Steve Burton on the viewing terrace at the Red Park Resort & Villas. Did you really think it was Olivia Foster who saw you two heading there? I just wanted to play the hero in front of you, so I pretended to casually tell Olivia Foster.”
“Of course, there’s more than that. Do you rember the last ti you went shopping with , and how I bought you clothes but you ended up being kidnapped? Ruby Gregory, I’ll be honest with you. The reason I asked you out that day was because I noticed soone was following , trying to kidnap . I needed a scapegoat, so I chose you. I wanted to use that incident to ruin you, but you were so naïve, thinking I was just being grateful and buying you clothes.”
Ruby knew that Maya hated her, and she knew that Maya had done many things against her. However, she never knew that the rift between her and Steve Burton three years ago was orchestrated by Maya herself. She had no idea that when she ca back, all the dangerous encounters were orchestrated by Maya as well!
“Of course, it’s not just that. Ruby Gregory, at the Gardenia Clubhouse, when you were being harassed and people called you a prosti- tute, that rumor was spread by .”
Ruby, filled with anger, abruptly lifted the teacup in front of her and splashed it at Maya Mitchell’s face: “Maya Mitchell, I never imagined that you’d be so much more despicable than I ever thought!”
“Despicable? Haha…” Maya Mitchell laughed as if she had just heard a hilarious joke, her expression suddenly turning cold as she stared into Ruby’s eyes, “All I did was use any ans necessary to win the love of the man I wanted. How is that any different from your good friend Madeleine? Didn’t she also get her desired marriage through any ans necessary? If you call despicable, aren’t you indirectly calling your best friend Madeleine despicable too?”
