Madeleine entered Steve Burton’s office and earnestly answered the question he asked.

Steve Burton sat lazily in his office chair, seemingly distracted as he listened to Madeleine’s words. He then raised his head and stared directly at her.

Madeleine knew that Steve Burton’s gaze was probing her. She instinctively said, “Brother, I went to see Ruby yesterday.”

Madeleine clearly saw that although Steve Burton’s expression hadn’t changed much upon hearing her words, his eyes twinkled slightly.

“Ruby’s injury is no longer a problem, and in a few days, you probably won’t see any scars,” Madeleine originally just wanted to truthfully describe this much. However, after seeing Steve Burton’s relieved expression upon hearing that Ruby Gregory was fine, and thinking about Ruby’s desolate demeanor when she mentioned Steve, Madeleine felt a bit displeased.

Although she couldn’t beat Steve Burton and didn’t dare to provoke him, she could now use another method to take petty revenge on him for oppressing her all these years.

So, Madeleine added quietly, “It’s just… ‘

Madeleine deliberately struck a hesitant pose.

Steve Burton frowned, looked at Madeleine, and asked, “What is it?”

Madeleine then continued leisurely, “It’s just that Ruby’s mood seems terrible, and she’s not very happy. When she saw me, she didn’t talk much.”

Little did he know, when Ruby and Madeleine got together, they could chatter endlessly.

Steve Burton’s frown deepened.

Madeleine knew that her bomb had landed quite successfully, and so she took the cue to step back and make a hasty exit.

After hearing this news, Steve Burton became even more restless than when he didn’t know the state of Ruby’s recovery.

On the morning of the tenth, Ruby woke up early.

Today was the day that she followed the old arrangement with Steve Burton and went to Red Park Resort.

She had managed to avoid it last month because he was on a business trip, but this time she didn’t know if she could dodge it again.

From the morning, Ruby kept checking her phone. When evening came, she still hadn’t received a call from Steve Burton. Ruby couldn’t help but feel somewhat relieved. It was almost time for dinner, and he still hadn’t called. Didn’t this mean that she didn’t have to go?

At noon on the tenth, Steve Burton had a lunch appointment. When it ended, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Since he had been drinking some alcohol, as soon as Steve Burton got into the car, he closed his eyes.

The driver drove the car while glancing at Steve Burton through the rearview mirror, then asked, “Mr. Burton, should we go back to the company or your place?”

By “home,” the driver didn’t mean The Burtons’ Mansion, but a duplex apartment in the city that was 300 square meters large.

Steve Burton didn’t answer the driver’s question but instead closed his eyes and thought for a while before asking, “What day is it today?”

“It’s the tenth.”

The tenth… it was the day of his arrangement with Ruby.

Steve Burton was silent for a while before opening his mouth and saying, “Go to The Burtons’ Mansion.”

Recently, Mr. Burton had been going to The Burtons’ Mansion quite frequently… The driver eyed Steve Burton with surprise before starting the car and heading to West Suburb.

Upon reaching The Gregorys’ house, which they had to pass on the way to The Burtons’ Mansion, Steve Burton opened his eyes and said indifferently, “Go to The Gregorys’.”
