To the Love of My Life

Chapter 318: 318: Blessing in Disguise (8)

In an instant, Maya felt like she was merely an accessory wearing the same outfit. She struggled to force a smile and said, “Ruby, this outfit looks so beautiful on you that I’m embarrassed to wear it myself.”

Ruby shyly smiled, “Not at all, you look just as beautiful.”

Maya knew herself well enough to take Ruby’s words as just a polite remark. She then took out a pair of sunglasses and personally put them on for Ruby.

The sunglasses were large and covered half of her face, making it difficult for anyone to tell who it was at a glance.

Maya smiled contentedly at her own choice of outfit, but when her smile met Ruby’s eyes, it seemed like genuine praise: “Ruby, you look really beautiful.”

Without further ado, Maya immediately tore off the tags on Ruby’s clothes and sunglasses, “Ruby, wear this outfit directly. It looks much better than the one you had on earlier, and it will be eye-catching for us to go shopping together wearing matching clothes.”

“Okay.” Ruby nodded, admiring herself in the mirror for a few moments before re-arranging her hair.

Maya folded Ruby’s original coat and put it in a bag. She looked at Ruby silently and then, after some thought, said, “Ruby, I suddenly really need to use the restroom. Can you wait for me outside?”

“Okay.” Ruby nodded, believing Maya’s words.

Maya took her shopping bag and entered a cubicle.

Ruby, holding the remains shopping bag containing her own clothes, left the bathroom.

Just as Ruby left, Maya opened the door to the cubicle she had gone into, wearing an entirely new set of clothes.

Neither was it the outfit she had on before nor the one that was identical to Ruby’s; instead, it was a different set she had bought.

Maya stuffed the other clothes into her shopping bag haphazardly. She approached the bathroom door and peeked out, only to find that Ruby was nowhere to be seen in the hallway outside.

About half a minute later, Maya took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the bathroom. As she walked, she looked around, and it wasn’t until she returned to the mall that she didn’t see Ruby. It was then that she realized her plan had come to fruition.

The two people who were meant to catch her must have mistaken Ruby, wearing the same clothes and sunglasses, for herself and taken her away instead.

The moment she knew she was being targeted, Maya thought of Ruby.

She didn’t know what methods Olivia Foster would use to target her, but this undeniably gave her a God-sent opportunity.

An opportunity that allowed her not only to ruin Ruby with Olivia’s help but also to stir up Steve Burton after Ruby was ruined. And then, with Steve’s help, get rid of Olivia.

It was truly a double victory!

Thinking of this, a cold sneer appeared in Maya’s eyes.
