Madeleine finally managed to stifle her cough, but when she heard Steve’s words, a burst of laughter welled up in her heart, almost making her cough again.
Shameless!
Too shameless!
He clearly had planned everything in his heart, speaking in a series of traps, each hit on Olivia was more ruthless than the previous one!
But in the end, he pretended to inadvertently let something slip!
This was not simply torturing someone to death with impunity, but torturing them and leaving them with nowhere to vent!
Olivia Foster, in the end, couldn’t help but cry, with large tears falling down, drip by drip, onto the dinner plate in front of her.
Seated beside Olivia, Madeleine’s cousin-in-law had a crestfallen expression, putting down the herbal egg she had taken two bites of into the bowl in front of her.
Now that Olivia and her cousin had lost their appetite, Steve felt his own appetite increase greatly. The food on the table had already gone cold, so Steve called a waiter to clear it, then ordered a new set of dishes for himself and Ruby Gregory.
The food was served soon after, and Steve said to Ruby, “Eat while it’s hot.”
To be honest, although Ruby felt that Steve might have been a little too harsh on Olivia, her mood had indeed improved considerably.

Steve watched Ruby eat breakfast, and his mood improved in an instant.
Although Ruby was eating, she couldn’t help but think about what had just happened.
Was Steve just protecting her?
Just like that day on the 10th at Red Park Resort & Villas when she couldn’t help but cry in front of him, ruining his good mood. He didn’t get angry and instead took care of everything for her.
He clearly had contempt and disgust for her, so why would he be considerate of her at times?
Ruby couldn’t help but quietly lift her head and sneak a glance at Steve. The man in front of her had relaxed eyebrows, seemingly unaffected by the sobbing Olivia behind him, and with a smile, he took a slice of bread, spread some butter on it, and brought it to his mouth.
After returning to China, Ruby was always nervous when she saw Steve, let alone examining him closely.
Now, the smile in his eyes and eyebrows softened his cold and indifferent aura, making her less afraid, and she couldn’t help but muster the courage to take a closer look at him.
She rarely saw him smile, and his eyes and eyebrows had softened considerably, making his features even more delicate and enchanting. It was as if a radiance emanated from him..
