“Steve, move aside for Mom! I will never allow such a disastrous woman by your side! Mom has told you countless times, indulging in women could end up ruining everything! ”
Just before the sixtieth-anniversary celebration of Pristine’s Enterprises was about to start, Steve Burton was actually indulging in * * With a woman under the open sky. Presumably, that woman had used some fox-like charm to bewitch Steve.
The more Steve’s mother thought about it, the angrier she got, her lengthy earrings quivering slightly.
Facing his mother’s wrath, Steve remained silent, maintaining his calm.
Only after Steve’s mother finished venting her anger did she remember that right by her side stood Olivia Foster. Even though her cousin married into the Burtons, she was still an outsider after all.
As the saying goes, family affairs should not be made public, especially when the person in front of you is your own son.
Had the person involved with Steve been an employee of Pristine’s Enterprises, then it wouldn’t be much of an issue.
But if it turned out to be a ‘Miss’ from a wealthy family, wouldn’t this bring disgrace to that family?

Seeing Steve’s mother’s decisive expression, despite her unwillingness, she feared that her objection might earn her disfavor. Hence, she obediently nodded and reluctantly turned around to leave.
Only after Olivia Foster had walked quite a distance did Steve’s mother speak to Steve, “Steve, it’s just you and Mom here now, call her out.”
There was no way Steve would call Ruby Gregory out. Lowering his eyes, he hesitated for a while before saying, “What happened today was my mistake. If you are angry, you should direct it towards me.”
“Nonsense!” Steve’s mother reprimanded angrily, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid. “Steve, are you defending that woman with no sense of propriety?”
A woman with no sense of propriety?
Upon hearing these words, a hint of gloom surfaced on Steve’s usually calm face. His tone, though still gentle, carried a sense of repression, “I’ve said, what happened tonight was my fault..”
