To the Love of My Life

Chapter 252: 252: You Finally Opened Your Eyes

No wonder after Steve Burton asked if Olivia Foster and Charlotte Madris were really good friends, Aunt Burton went to blame Olivia!

Because, deep down, Aunt Burton firmly believed that Charlotte Madris was that shameless woman on the viewing platform!

She had always thought that she could escape death this morning, thanks to Maya Mitchell’s quick thinking in forging a false alibi for her.

Although it was Maya who told Olivia about her whereabouts, the unsuspecting Maya didn’t know that it would cause her so much trouble, so she simply answered Olivia’s question.

So, deep in her heart, she was truly grateful to Maya.

But now, she realized that the reason she was unscathed wasn’t Maya, but Steve Burton!

It was Steve Burton, who despised her, looked down on her, and never showed her a good face!

If it weren’t for him finding Charlotte Madris to be the scapegoat last night and confusing Aunt Burton, would Maya’s little tricks deceive Aunt Burton today?

It was him last night, who let Charlotte Madris take precedence as Aunt Burton’s suspect, and since Aunt Burton has always had a great impression of her, when Olivia pointed her out today, Aunt Burton naturally chose to believe her. Therefore, when Maya made the false testimony, Aunt Burton only needed to see that the call record had her name, and she easily believed it to be true.

Everything that happened today was not because of her good luck or her narrowly escaping death but because Steve Burton secretly and quietly prepared and planned everything for her without her knowing!

Ruby Gregory’s heart couldn’t help but thump wildly.

When Steve made her take the contraceptive pill, she thought there was no hope of marrying him anymore, so she became dispirited and followed her heart, avoiding him and dodging him. She thought she was destined to disappoint her parents and the Gregorys.

But now, she was ignited with a glimmer of hope.

Actually, Steve Burton was not as cold-blooded and ruthless to her as she saw, right?

Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to cover up what happened between them on the viewing platform last night?

If he really wanted her to suffer, he could have let Aunt Burton know that she was the woman on the viewing platform, and then she would have been the one being sent to Italy instead of Charlotte Madris today!

The more Ruby thought about it, the more excited she became.

The determination and goal of marrying him, which had been almost wiped out by Steve Burton, began to revive little by little.

Ruby Gregory’s lips curved slightly upward.

But before the smile could bloom, Ruby furrowed her brows, and her eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement.

Steve Burton was cold-blooded and heartless to her on one hand but secretly helped her on the other…. Why would he do this?
