Translator: 549690339

Ruby Gregory didn’t return to Steve Burton’s birthday party. She left the suite and headed straight for the underground parking lot to drive home.

Ruby was exhausted and in pain after being tormented by Steve. When she got home, she took a hot shower and went straight to bed, but she couldn’t fall asleep.

Even though tonight, Steve, in front of everyone at the birthday party, had only taken her away, saving her face when she gave him a gift and maintaining the dignity of the Gregory family.

However, she knew it was just a temporary illusion that deceived the eyes of others, making them think that her relationship with Steve was as good as ever.

In fact, only she, the person involved, knew how terrible her relationship with Steve was.

When she returned to the country, she had considered that she might not be as close to Steve as before after their three-year separation. However, it turned out to be just a wild wish. Instead of being close, he seemed to despise her more than ever.

No matter what she did, he could find a lot of faults with it.

Only when someone is particularly displeased with another person would their eyes become so harsh.

More than twenty years, she had known Steve for more than twenty years. How could he just turn his back on her like this?

Ruby tossed slightly in bed, her eyes wide open, staring at the dim sleep light on the bedside table. Thoughts in her mind were becoming chaotic.

Since childhood, she had been ingrained by the Gregory to prioritize Steve in everything she did. As a result, all her actions revolved around him.

In the past, she had done so, and he had never been angry or disgusted with her…

As Ruby thought of this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Could it be related to that incident three years ago?

As soon as this idea crossed Ruby’s mind, she hugged her quilt, and abruptly sat up in bed.

Her face turned pale as snow, and her fingers gripping the quilt trembled slightly.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

How could Steve possibly know about that incident?

Even her mom and dad didn’t know, so she must have been overthinking it, she must have…

Ruby kept reassuring herself in her heart. Her breathing became slightly rapid, and after a long time, she finally managed to calm down. She realized that she had been sweating all over from the shock.

Ruby raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, curled up with the quilt back into bed, still looking somewhat terrified.

Ruby couldn’t remember what time she had fallen asleep last night. Because she went to bed late, her alarm didn’t wake her up the next day. In the end, Lady Gregory personally went upstairs to wake her up..
