Translator: 549690339
Ruby and Madeleine had known each other for many years, and Madeleine had seen Ruby in countless embarrassing situations before.
But at this very moment, Ruby didn’t want anyone to see her disheveled appearance, which was a result of Steve Burton’s actions.
This was her humiliation, and she wouldn’t allow anyone to witness it.
Although her dress was torn by Steve, Ruby still managed to put on her undergarments and wore the dress. She then sat upright in the dining chair.
Madeleine arrived quite quickly, in less than twenty minutes.
She was carrying a bag and hurriedly pushed the door open.
Although Ruby was sitting properly in the dining chair, looking as if nothing had happened, Madeleine could see her messy hair, torn clothing, swollen lips, and the marks on her exposed skin. She was stunned for a moment.
Ruby’s attempt to conceal her humiliation crumbled under Madeleine’s gaze, and she quickly lowered her head.
After a while, Madeleine composed herself. She was no fool and understood what had just transpired between Steve and Ruby. Madeleine’s voice was a little low as she said, “Ruby.”
Ruby could hear the sympathy in Madeleine’s tone. She turned to smile at her, trying to seem nonchalant. Speaking lightly, she said, “Madeleine, give me the clothes.”
Madeleine handed the clothes to Ruby.
When Ruby took them, Madeleine clenched the bag and called out softly,
“Ruby.”
Madeleine’s words were somewhat hesitant.
Ruby knew what Madeleine wanted to say, but she didn’t want to hear it. Because anything Madeleine said would only rub salt into Ruby’s wounds. Ruby’s tone remained calm, as she said, “Madeleine, wait for me outside.”
Madeleine hesitated, but ultimately said nothing. She released her grip on the bag, turned around, and walked out of the private room.
The dress was likely brought from home by Madeleine. Ruby was slightly thinner than Madeleine, so when she put the dress on, it was a little loose.
When Ruby came out of the private room, she only exchanged two glances with Madeleine. The two said nothing and headed towards the elevator.
During the drive back to the Gregorys’ home, Madeleine and Ruby remained silent.
Ruby sat wearily in the passenger seat, her face pale and frightening. She stared out the window, not blinking, her whole being devoid of life.
Madeleine wanted to ask Ruby about her and Steve several times, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she brought Ruby to the entrance of the Gregorys’ house, watched her go inside, and only then did she pick up her phone to send a message to Steve before driving away..
