Chapter 235: 235 Priding Oneself in One’s Success (9)

Yesterday, she had left on her own, where could she find anyone to testify for her?

Moreover, the person who was with Steve Burton at the viewing platform last night was indeed her.

If she doesn’t find someone to clear her now. it seems that Aunt Burton will truly become suspicious of her.

But who can she find to clear her name?

Originally, Madeleine would have been the best candidate to provide false testimony for her, but Madeleine is a high-ranking executive at Pristine’s Enterprises, and there were staff with her all day yesterday, so she definitely can’t help.

Ruby Gregory’s face struggled to maintain a calm expression, but her heart raced.

She knew that if she stayed silent, it would be the same as admitting to being the person with Steve Burton last night.

This mattered to her impression in Aunt Burton’s heart, her own reputation, and The Gregorys’ reputation.

If people found out that she was doing those bedroom affairs with Steve

Burton in the public view, she would be the vilest among the ladies of Ciawell!

Though she knew that her struggle might be futile, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she couldn’t give up.

Ruby Gregory tried hard to steady her heart and stared quietly at Olivia Foster and Aunt Burton. After her long eyelashes flickered twice, she calmly said, “Last night I was feeling a bit down, so I went out alone for a while, but I don’t know what’s wrong with going out alone for that time?”

Those who knew the situation were aware that Aunt Burton was referring to a woman who seduced Steve Burton at the viewing platform, while those who didn’t know were naturally confused and bewildered.

So, Ruby Gregory deliberately let her tone express deep confusion, showing a baffled appearance.

As Olivia Foster said, Ruby Gregory had always been a well-behaved and sensible girl in Aunt Burton’s heart.

In her heart, she absolutely didn’t hope nor dare to believe that the woman on the viewing platform could be Ruby.

So when she saw Ruby Gregory’s puzzled expression, her expression relaxed slightly, revealing a “she knew it wouldn’t be Ruby Gregory” meaning.

Olivia Foster’s original intention was to expose Ruby Gregory, but now, with just a simple sentence, Ruby had dispelled Aunt Burton’s suspicion..
