Ruby Gregory’s body stiffened, and she regained her composure.
At this moment, she would rather not accept Madeleine’s comfort.
Because she hoped that her mocked and despised appearance wouldn’t be seen by Madeleine.
Before, she didn’t feel like she couldn’t lift her head in front of Madeleine, but now, she didn’t have the courage to look at Madeleine, afraid of seeing sympathy in her eyes.
Moreover, Steve Burton kept saying that Madeleine was led astray by her and sent Madeleine abroad…
Ruby’s expression tightened, soon it would be Mid-Autumn Festival, and Madeleine would spend it alone abroad?
Whatever Steve Burton did to her was fine, but she didn’t want to drag Madeleine down.
Thinking of this, Ruby didn’t even glance at Madeleine, and instead rushed towards the door. Her hurried pace didn’t bother with Madeleine’s shouting behind her.
Ruby chased out of the Grand Ciawell Restaurant and saw Steve Burton getting into the car. She hailed a taxi from the side, asking the driver to follow Steve Burton’s car.
The nighttime traffic in the capital city was smooth, and because there were no traffic jams, the taxi driver didn’t lose sight of Steve Burton’s car.
Steve Burton didn’t return to The Burtons’ Mansion, but to a high-end residential area in the city center.
He was dropped off by his driver at the entrance of the upscale apartment complex.
Ruby asked the taxi driver to stop a few dozen meters away, paid the fare, and followed Burton out of the cab.
Steve Burton’s car happened to drive away, and he turned around, heading towards the gates of the complex.
Ruby quickly followed, calling out just before he swiped his card to enter the compound: “Mr. Burton…”
Steve Burton’s card-swiping motion paused for a moment, but he didn’t look back at Ruby. Instead, he pushed open the security gate and walked in.
Ruby didn’t have an access card for the compound and couldn’t get in. She came here to persuade Steve Burton to change his mind about sending Madeleine abroad. Without any hesitation, Ruby rushed forward, blocking the slowly closing security door, and followed Steve Burton into the complex.
Steve Burton knew that Ruby was closely following him, but he didn’t make a sound and didn’t look back.
Steve Burton entered the code for the building and walked inside, with Ruby still sneaking in before the door closed.
Steve Burton pressed the elevator button, walked inside, and Ruby hesitated for a moment before following him.
There were only the two of them in the elevator.
Steve Burton stood straight in the center of the elevator, looking straight ahead.
Ruby stood in the right corner of the elevator, occasionally sneaking a glance at Steve Burton.
It was only when the elevator door opened and Steve Burton prepared to leave that Ruby knew she had to speak up, or else she would have no chance once Steve Burton entered his home..
