Olivia Foster felt somewhat anxious deep down, and her words inevitably carried a bit of sharpness: “People always try their best to cover up unpleasant things. Ruby Gregory, you don’t have to pretend to be so innocent and clueless. Whether it was you on the viewing platform last night, only you know in your heart. Let’s say, even if it wasn’t you, you wouldn’t want Aunt Burton to suspect you, right? Last night, there were people coming and going all over Red Park. Surely, you must have encountered someone during all that time. All you need to do is find someone who saw you, and that will clear your name. Your casual response hardly holds any credibility.”

Knowing that Aunt Burton has the most authority in this matter, Olivia Foster didn’t want her to think that she was overstepping, so after saying all that, she raised her head, looked at Aunt Burton, and asked obediently, “Aunt Burton, I actually don’t have any ulterior motives.

Ruby Gregory’s hand discreetly clenched under the table, and her face started to look a bit off.

Steve Burton’s mother also began to look uncomfortable.

Olivia Foster quietly lifted her eyes to sneak a peek at Steve’s mother, and then continued to speak cautiously: “Aunt Burton, the gossip is truly awful. If you don’t believe me, you can ask anyone, and then you’ll know the whole story. As the saying goes, there’s no smoke without fire. There must be a reason for such rumors to exist. If it is just a misunderstanding, this would be the perfect opportunity for Ruby Gregory to explain herself. This way, it would be beneficial for both Ruby Gregory and the Gregorys. So, Aunt Burton, by doing this, I am actually trying to help her..”
