The call record was fabricated by her, the duration was far from an hour or two, and it wouldn’t hold up under Steve’s mother’s careful inspection.
Therefore, when Maya handed her phone to Steve’s mom, her finger was already secretly pressing the power button. As soon as Steve’s mother saw Ruby’s name and their call date, Maya turned off her phone, and the screen instantly went black.
Maya took the phone from Steve’s mother, her finger still firmly pressing the power button, and as the system prompt to slide to shut down appeared on the screen, she turned off the phone without hesitation.
Then, with an embarrassed look on her face, Maya said to Steve’s mother, “Madam Burton, I forgot to charge my phone last night. Just when I went up the mountain, it had only one percent battery left, and it turned off automatically.”
Although Steve’s mother didn’t exactly see the actual phone number or how long the call lasted, she saw that Maya indeed had a conversation with Ruby over the phone, and the call date was yesterday, which was totally consistent with what Maya described.
Maya was backing up Ruby’s testimonial about Olivia and Leony being close friends, and Steve’s mom had doubts about Leony all along. This way, all of Steve’s mother’s suspicions towards Ruby were completely cleared up.
After a long day of all these dramas, Steve’s mom was slightly weary and repulsed, let alone the upcoming press conference for the new product line of Pristine’s Enterprises.
Aunt Burton was tactful towards Olivia just now to save her face. Now, however, she rebuked bluntly, “Olivia, I sincerely hope this is the first and the last time you make such a silly mistake.”
This simple sentence was undoubtedly a death sentence for Olivia.
Maya looked at Steve again, noticing that his forehead and eyes looked calm now. It was only then that she finally felt relieved.
Upon hearing Aunt Burton’s words, Ruby, whose mind was thrilled, gave a sigh of relief.
Since she returned to her home country and joined Pristine’s Enterprises, aside from Madeleine, who grew up with her, only Maya was closest and took the most care of her. She knew in her heart that Maya was thanking her for the help she gave her years ago.
Although the relationship between her and Maya was not as close as with Madeleine, to the point of heart-to-heart, she always believed that Maya is the last person to stab her in the back.
She was indeed right about her.
Olivia’s struggle was just to save herself. Who knew it would turn out to be a self-inflicted disaster!
A surge of anger suddenly welled up in Olivia’s heart..
