Olivia Foster took her gaze away from Ruby Gregory’s face, picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and then said, “Aunt Burton, only Ruby left the banquet hall early, and she didn’t come back until just before the dinner began.”
Ruby Gregory unconsciously clenched her hands when she heard her own name.
Steve Burton, sitting opposite her, had a deep and unfathomable look in his eyes.
Steve’s mother had expected to hear “Charlotte Madris” from Olivia’s lips, but she hadn’t expected it to be Ruby Gregory. She furrowed her brows severely.
Seeing Aunt Burton’s furrowed brow, Olivia’s heart thumped, and she hurriedly said, “Aunt Burton, I’m not slandering her because of the unpleasantness I had with her just now. I’m saying all this because I have evidence. If you don’t believe me, ask her now, was she alone on the observation deck last night?” There was no improvement in Aunt Burton’s expression.
Ruby’s heart was filled with panic, but she tried to maintain her calm facade so as not to expose her weakness.
Olivia Foster couldn’t quite grasp Aunt Burton’s thoughts, so she pondered for a moment, then chose her words carefully and continued, “Aunt Burton, I know you like Ruby Gregory. In your heart, she has always been a well-behaved and sensible girl. But people can be very good at deceiving others, and you never truly know what kind of person she really is. Besides, if she can do such a thing, she will sooner or later harm Steve.”
Aunt Burton’s expression softened slightly after hearing Olivia’s long speech.
After a moment of silence, she turned to Ruby and asked, “Ruby, where were you last night?”
Ruby quietly looked back at Aunt Burton’s eyes, her lips tightly pursed, and did not speak.
Before she could be sure whether or not Olivia Foster had complete evidence, silence was the best response.
Steve’s mother stared at Ruby for a long time, blinked lightly, and asked again,
“Ruby, tell Aunt Burton, was it you on the observation deck last night?”
Olivia Foster, feeling more confident after hearing Aunt Burton’s question, said, “Aunt Burton, if you ask her like this, she will definitely not admit it.”
She paused, looked at Ruby, and continued, “Ruby Gregory, if you want to clear yourself of suspicion, produce proof. All you need to do is find someone who can testify that they were with you at that time yesterday, and everything will be resolved.”
Yesterday, she had left by herself, where could she find someone to vouch for her?
