Translator: 549690339

Mr. Octo just picked up his glass and took a sip of alcohol, hoping to drown his sorrows. However, he heard Steve’s words coming from behind and suddenly choked on his drink. He bent over and started coughing violently.

His goddess not only had one child, but two, which could only mean one thing:

her marriage was stable.

A boy and a girl, the perfect winning combination in life, a symbol of a perfectly happy family.

Mr. Octo lost all hope for his future with Ruby Gregory, feeling completely dejected.

Steve Burton, satisfied with himself, smirked and felt his mood lifted after holding it in all night. He lazily cast his gaze towards the dance floor, easily spotting Ruby’s figure in the crowd. He stared at her for less than half a minute before his expression suddenly changed. He slammed his glass on the table, stood up quickly, and rushed towards the dance floor…

Back in college, Steve would often take Ruby and Madeleine to bars where they’d dance together under the dazzling lights.

Later, when Ruby went to Costa Luna, she visited bars far less frequently, being alone in a foreign land.

Now, at the company party, she originally hid in a corner which was then taken by Steve. Not knowing where else to go, she agreed to dance when Maya Mitchell suggested it.

The music on the dance floor got faster and faster, and Ruby, along with the other dancers, picked up the pace as well. Although nobody mentioned it, it felt like they were competing to see who could dance the best.

Ruby was not a particularly competitive person, but she couldn’t help getting caught up in the atmosphere and gradually got more and more involved in the dance.

With more and more people joining the dance floor, it became increasingly crowded.

Not liking the feeling of being squeezed in with so many people, Ruby decided to stop dancing and leave the dance floor.

As the people around her continued to dance, she tried not to bother them, walking carefully through the crowd.

When she was close to the edge of the dance floor, Ruby breathed a sigh of relief as she prepared to walk down the steps. Suddenly, someone bumped into her from behind.

It was possible that someone had been dancing with a glass in their hand, spilling alcohol all over the floor.

Ruby was wearing high heels, and although she managed not to slip while walking, the unexpected nudge caused her to lose her balance. Before she could fully react, she fell heavily to the ground.

Ruby’s fall caused a scream from someone who witnessed it, and everyone stopped dancing, rushing over to surround her..
