Under Olivia Foster’s murderous glare, Ruby Gregory smiled and replied, “Olivia, didn’t you say it yourself? At Mr. Burton’s birthday party last night, he only took me away alone. Some people shouldn’t be messed with so easily, right?”

Olivia didn’t expect Ruby to use her words against her. She was momentarily dumbfounded and couldn’t find the right words to speak.

In an instant, Ruby’s eyes turned ice cold, and she unexpectedly reached out to snatch the documents from Olivia’s hand. After casually flipping through a couple of pages, she found the collaboration project, smirked, and tore it up without hesitation. Then, she tossed the pieces into a nearby trash bin.

Olivia’s eyes widened in anger and disbelief, and she exclaimed, “How dare you rip up the collaboration project that Mr. Burton is going to review!”

Ruby simply smiled and continued looking through the documents in her hand. When she came across a report, she tore it into even smaller pieces without any hesitation. Waving the remnants in a smug manner at Olivia, she stuffed them into the trash bin as well.

“You, you…!”

Olivia angrily stomped her foot on the ground, struggling for words.

“What about me?” Ruby retorted with Olivia’s words.

“Ruby Gregory, just you wait! I’m going to find Mr. Burton right now!” Olivia pushed Ruby away forcefully, her eyes slightly red, seemingly enraged to her breaking point, her voice trembling.

Instead of stopping her, Ruby stepped two steps back gracefully and calmly watched Olivia’s fit, speaking gently, “Olivia, it was you who forgot to bring the collaboration project on Monday morning, but blamed it on me, claiming it was my responsibility. If you’re not afraid of Mr. Burton finding out that you were trying to avoid your responsibility during a crucial time, feel free to go find him.

Olivia’s steps momentarily paused.

Unhurriedly, Ruby continued, “If the collaboration project isn’t delivered by 8:30, then get out of Pristine’s Enterprises! That’s what Mr. Burton said, right?”

As she spoke, Ruby carefully observed Olivia’s reaction and noticed her stiffen slightly. This confirmed Ruby’s suspicions, and her following words carried much more confidence, “Tell me, if Mr. Burton finds out that you’re using his name to threaten his employees, how do you think he’ll react?”

Olivia’s hands clenched into fists.

Ruby slowly walked towards Olivia, “And this morning, Olivia, why was my report in the office trash can? Do I need to find Mr. Burton now and ask him to review the security footage?”

Olivia’s complexion turned from green to white.

Ruby’s mood, however, improved significantly. She handed the remaining un-torn documents back to Olivia, saying, “Next time you try to set me up, either do it openly and proudly like I did just now, or do it so discreetly that no one notices. Don’t leave so many loopholes that anyone can see through, knowing you’re the one behind it.”
