Translator: 549690339
Olivia Foster couldn’t miss the meaning behind Ruby Gregory’s words.
Ruby was implying that even with expensive and luxurious items, Olivia couldn’t outshine her.
Olivia’s smile tightened, her gaze turning colder. Just as Ruby thought she would finally show her true colors and start a hysterical argument, Olivia suddenly changed her expression, turned her head, and said to the socialites around her with a smile: “Every time I joke with Ruby, she always manages to silence me with her wit.”
After saying that, Olivia seemed to have thought of something and continued: “You all must remember Ruby, right? Ruby Gregory, the one who was once very close with Steve Burton.”
Olivia knew about the details of Ruby having an intimate encounter with Steve Burton and then being discarded by him before she went to Costa Luna. But the others socialites only knew that Ruby had suddenly gone to Costa Luna. So with Olivia’s words, the others began greeting Ruby immediately.
“Ruby, long time no see.”
“Ruby, why did you suddenly go to Costa Luna?”
“Ruby, how has your relationship with Mr. Burton been over the years?”
“Ruby, Mr. Burton must be so happy now that you’re back; he must still treat you like before…”
In fact, the words of these socialites were flawless and nothing more than normal pleasantries and greetings.
However, Ruby understood that this was the effect Olivia was aiming for.
Ruby was once considered undesirable by Steve, and these unknowing people were indirectly exposing her old wound by questioning her about him over and over.
Ruby never lost in front of Olivia, but now she had no choice but to swallow her humiliation without protest.
She tried her best to maintain a smile on her face as she responded to the socialites one by one. Then, she quickly found an excuse to slip away.
Ruby’s mood plummeted to an all-time low, and she no longer had the appetite to eat. She glanced at her wristwatch – there were still ninety minutes until the
eight o’clock celebratory ceremony. Ruby’s eyes drooped, and she quietly left
the scene.
Ruby slowly walked down the wooden steps, eventually arriving at a secluded viewing platform on the mountaintop.
Looking down at the brilliantly lit Red Park Resort & Villas, she thought of the words the socialites had said to her.
She knew that they didn’t know what had happened between her and Steve, which was why they were asking her about it..
