Olivia Foster mentioned that she had a good relationship with Charlotte Madris.
So, it is not impossible that Olivia was providing a cover for Charlotte and used Ruby to take the fall since she hated her the most.
Fortunately, Steve had prepared for such a situation last night by using Charlotte as his shield.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how to help Ruby out of this mess today.
As Steve had expected, his mother began to feel doubts in her heart after hearing the conversation between Steve and Olivia. It was not that Aunt Burton changed her mind easily. It was because her staff had indeed taken intimate photos of Steve and Charlotte the previous night.
Deep down, Aunt Burton had always felt that the possibility of Charlotte being the girl on the balcony was higher than that of Ruby.
Steve’s mother sat in silence for a while without saying anything. It took a long time for her to finally raise her eyelids, look at Olivia, and speak, “Olivia, you know that Aunt Burton hates people who cause trouble and slander others.”
Olivia had no idea that Steve had tipped off Charlotte in advance to be a scapegoat, so she didn’t know where their conversation earlier had gone wrong. Hearing Aunt Burton’s words, she felt a bit confused. After a while, she nodded and said, “Aunt Burton, I know.”
Aunt Burton did not soften her expression because of Olivia’s obedience – her tone remained serious and stern, “Olivia, you also know that Aunt Burton is not easily deceived.”
It was only then that Olivia vaguely sensed that something was off. Her expression became slightly stagnant, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at Aunt Burton carefully, saying nothing.
After staring at Olivia for a moment, Aunt Burton sighed and concluded, “Today’s incident ends here. I have a clear idea of who was on the viewing terrace last night. No one is allowed to mention it again.”
At this time, Ruby was completely confused.
She was just in a life-or-death situation, but Steve only had a few words with Olivia, and Aunt Burton suddenly changed her attitude. How did he do it?
Ruby furrowed her eyebrows tightly, her eyes shifting back and forth between Steve and Aunt Burton, trying to figure out the reason but failing to do so.
Although Olivia was impulsive, she was not stupid. When she heard Aunt Burton’s conclusive words, she finally realized that Aunt Burton thought that she had intentionally tried to trip Ruby up after their quarrel.
All the accusations of provoking trouble and slandering others she just mentioned were directed at her!
