Ruby Gregory’s body shuddered violently, and the color drained from her face in an instant.

Steve Burton actually cursed her for being hypocritical and disgusting in front of Madeleine and Howard Coleman!

She lowered her eyes habitually, hiding the pain in them.

Her hand, silently clenched, forced herself not to think about what look would emerge in Howard and Madeleine’s eyes as they stared at her at this very moment.

She knew she had done something wrong to him in the afternoon, but she had no choice. She couldn’t bear to watch her parents worry and do nothing.

Madeleine looked at Ruby’s bowed head and the pale little face that was barely visible, and a pang of pain rose in her heart. Without thinking, she blurted out, “Brother, I already said it was my fault, why do you have to scold Ruby? Brother, your words are too harsh! If you’re upset or unhappy, just scold me! How can you let Ruby suffer such injustice!”

Steve Burton glanced coldly at the annoyed Madeleine, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Don’t think that helping someone who has nothing to do with me take advantage of me will earn my indulgence. Go home and pack your things now, go and stay in the overseas company, and don’t stay in the country to learn nothing but mischief from her!”

After that, Steve turned to Howard Coleman and said, “It’s best if you all don’t try any tricks on me. Without my permission, no one is allowed to let

The seemingly pale woman stood there with her eyes downcast and lips pursed. She was already small and frail, looking somewhat pitiful. However, her face was calm and devoid of any signs of grievance.

Steve’s gaze lingered on Ruby’s face for a moment, recalling Madeleine’s angry words from just before. Madeleine said he had gone too far, and that he had been treating Ruby unfairly!

Unfair?

A touch of mockery emerged at the bottom of Steve’s heart, even directed at himself.

In their relationship, outsiders always saw him as the one treating her unfairly. But who knew how much she had wronged him all this time?

In just a split second, Steve collected all his thoughts, coldly withdrew his gaze from Ruby’s face, and walked directly towards the door of the private room.

The door opened, the door closed, and Steve Burton left.

There was a two-second silence in the private room, and then the tension eased. Madeleine glanced at Howard Coleman before walking over to Ruby and cautiously said, “Ruby, my brother’s just like that. His words might be harsh, but he doesn’t really mean it..”
