Steve Burton’s mother sensed her son’s displeasure. She moved her lips slightly but didn’t speak. Instead, she just stared at Steve for a while before finally speaking in a rather low voice. “Steve, don’t forget how mom has raised you since you were a child. I’ve always turned a blind eye to how you interact with women outside, believing that you know your boundaries. But today, Pristine’s Enterprises’ 60th-anniversary celebration is about to begin. There are so many guests in the hall, yet you’re not playing host and indulging yourself with a woman here. Steve, don’t forget who you are.”
Steve pursed his lips and said hoarsely, “I wasn’t considering it carefully.”
Seeing that she had spoken to such extent and Steve still sided with the woman hiding behind the viewing platform, his mother was determined to eliminate the enchantress if she could. But she didn’t want to create a rift between herself and her son because of a woman.
Moreover, she had never seen her son protect a woman like this before.
After weighing things in her heart, Steve’s mother still chose to give her son a way out and said, “Steve, it’s getting late. Let’s go back to the banquet hall.” Steve nodded slightly in agreement.
His mother took one last look in the direction where Ruby Gregory was hiding and then left with Steve the way they came.
Footsteps gradually faded away until there was no more sound. Ruby, hidden behind the bushes of the viewing platform, felt like she had just survived a catastrophe and instantly collapsed on the ground.

The person who came was actually Aunt Burton.
As they were neighbors with the Burtons, she had known Aunt Burton since she was young, and Aunt Burton had always liked her and treated her well.
However, after what happened three years ago, she went abroad and never contacted Aunt Burton again. Now that she was back, she was quite busy. Moreover, she had been to the Burtons’ once, but Steve told Wenny Burton that it would be better if she didn’t go to the Burtons’ so often as to not bother him. As a result, she never went to the Burtons’ again.
From Aunt Burton’s words, she could also hear that Aunt Burton thought she had bewitched Steve and prompted him to take her in such an exposed place urgently.
The more Ruby thought about it, the more frightened she felt.
If Aunt Burton had found out it was her, not only would her image in Aunt Burton’s eyes be completely ruined, but she would also have no hope of marrying Steve in this lifetime!
Ruby closed her eyes and took deep breaths for a long while before managing to support herself off the ground and stand up. She quickly tidied up her clothes..
