Ruby Gregory glared hard at Olivia Foster, not even leaving a fragment of a sentence behind, as she turned around and walked out of the staircase.

Although Ruby had slapped Olivia twice, directly and satisfyingly, her heart did not feel the slightest bit of pleasure because of it; instead, it became even heavier.

She never knew that her own parents would be seen as so pathetic and pitiful in the eyes of others.

In this world, people always strive for higher grounds, just as water naturally flows to lower levels.

Everyone wants to cling to the strong.

Now, the disadvantaged Gregorys would indeed be looked down upon by others.

Borrowing money could only solve temporary problems, but not the problems of a lifetime.

Even if Dad’s loan was successful, it would not be long before repayment would be required, and at that time, an even more significant problem would arise.

She had originally thought that her relationship with Steve Burton could progress slowly, but now, Steve was obviously displeased with her, and the Gregorys were in dire straits.

By the time Steve’s impression of her improved and he truly married her, would the Gregorys still exist?

Ruby took a slow breath, her heart heavy with troubles, as she returned to her office.

Just as Ruby sat down, a secretary behind her quietly asked, “Ruby, do you know where Olivia is?”

Ruby, who knew everything, feigned innocence and shook her head at the secretary behind her, “What’s going on?”

“The meeting Mr. Burton had this afternoon was her responsibility, and yet, at 2:50 PM, she hadn’t brought the materials. Mr. Burton’s face was so dark, it seemed as if he could kill someone at any time. Finally, Maya Mitchell, courageously, said she would print another copy of the materials and deliver them to Mr. Burton in five minutes, which slightly improved his mood.”

Ruby turned to look at Maya Mitchell’s seat, and, only then, noticed it was empty. She casually asked, “Where’s Maya?”

“Since Olivia wasn’t there, Mr. Burton asked Maya to accompany him to the meeting room when she handed over the materials.”

Ruby vaguely felt that something wasn’t right, but she couldn’t figure out what exactly was wrong. Finally, she frowned and pondered for a while, then seemed somewhat indifferent, and turned her head back with an “oh”.

Staring at the computer screen, Ruby clenched her teeth and was lost in thought for a while. Eventually, she shook her head, thinking she might just be overthinking, and proceeded to open the computer. As a result, she saw a reminder message flashing across the screen.

Ruby clicked on the message, only to find that it was a reminder of her upcoming period.

Her periods had always been regular, occurring on the first day of every month.

The reason she set up this reminder was to determine whether or not she might be pregnant..
