Aunt Burton hadn’t expected the rumors to have already spread. Her expression became serious. After a moment, she turned her head to regard Ruby Gregory, studying her for a bit before she opened her mouth to ask,

“Ruby, can you honestly tell me if the person last night was really you?”

Upon hearing Aunt Burton’s question, a smirk finally rose in the depths of Olivia Foster’s eyes.

Maya Mitchell had claimed to have seen Ruby heading towards the viewing platform with her own eyes, and if Ruby could really prove her own innocence, why would she have evaded the truth earlier?

In this regard, Olivia had a lot more advantages than Ruby.

Throughout the entire breakfast, she had always been at a disadvantage, and now it was finally her turn to watch as Ruby struggled.

Everyone in the room, did they not all praise Ruby’s beauty and sensibility?

Did Madeleine, Howard, Russell, and Edward not all favor Ruby over her?

Well then, she would make them see, once and for all, the true lowliness and depravity hidden beneath the skin of this perfect, beautiful, and knowledgeable woman!

As she let these thoughts fill her mind, a smile appeared at the corner of Olivia’s mouth. She straightened her back and confidently awaited Ruby’s response.

Although Ruby’s facial expression appeared calm, her heart was in utter chaos. The more frantic she became, the more muddled her thoughts were, making it impossible for her to come up with a solution.

The room was quiet, and all eyes were on her, awaiting her response. Aunt Burton waited for a while, but when Ruby still remained silent, she softened her voice and assured her again, “Ruby, you don’t need to be nervous, just tell me frankly. If it isn’t you, don’t worry, I won’t let you take the blame. As long as you can clear your name, I will help you clarify it in front of everyone.”

The words of Aunt Burton only increased the pressure on Ruby, to the point where her fingers began to chill. She could feel her feigned calmness on her face starting to falter, ready to crumble at any moment and betray her true feelings.

As time trickled away, Ruby felt she could no longer maintain her composure.

Her reputation, as well as that of the Gregorys, was on the brink of ruin.

It was truly tragic. The Gregorys had hoped that she could bring good fortune to the family, but ironically, she had only brought them a heavy layer of dust.

Just as Ruby was about to accept her fate under Aunt Burton’s gaze, Steve Burton, who was sitting across from her, suddenly blurted out an unsuspected question, “Do you know Leony Madris?”
