Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Giving You Six Yuan (10)
Maya Mitchell’s hand, originally intended to cover her bruised face, stiffened slightly.
She didn’t want to watch the scene that made her envious and furious at the same time, but she couldn’t tear her eyes away.
She saw Steve Burton calmly extend his hand to button Ruby Gregory’s coat, one button at a time, and even put a hat on her head.
In the hot summer, Ruby broke into a sweat as soon as the hat was on her head. She reached up to take it off, but Steve preemptively caught her hand and gently soothed her. He then pulled her into his embrace and gently leaned over to kiss Ruby’s cheek.
Out in the crowded street, people couldn’t help but glance over. Ruby’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she instinctively buried her head in Steve’s chest.
Steve confidently hugged her back and kissed the top of her hat. When he looked up with a smile, his gaze happened to fall in Maya’s direction. However, in the depths of his beautiful eyes, there seemed to be no acknowledgment of her existence, and his gaze coldly drifted past her.
Seeing this, Maya couldn’t watch any longer. When she was beaten by Mrs. Leighton, she didn’t shed a single tear, but now, she was alone and in a terrible state while Steve and Ruby were wrapped together in a loving embrace. This stark contrast was much more unbearable than when Mrs. Leighton hit and scolded her in front of everyone. She couldn’t help it, and her eyes reddened.
Then, she quickly turned around and hurried to the side of the road. As the scorching summer sun baked her body, she felt a bone-chilling coldness engulf her heart. Teary-eyed, she looked in the direction of the oncoming traffic, signaled an approaching taxi, and immediately climbed in when it stopped.
–
As Ruby Gregory followed Steve Burton into the car, the corners of her lips curved up several times.
She never considered herself a virtuous person, and she never allowed others to bully her. In fact, she didn’t harbor deep hatred towards Maya Mitchell initially.
When Ruby met Maya in the mall and realized her two-faced nature, she was angry and upset but didn’t take it to heart.
However, when she finally concluded that Maya had tampered with the vitamins Steve gave her, her heart was filled with genuine hatred.
She never thought Maya would go so far as to try and make sure she never bore Steve’s child… Lucky for her, she got pregnant with The Triplets and gave birth to them. If she had found out later and continued to take the vitamins, who knew what would have happened to her?
When she first saw Maya standing at the side of the road waiting for a taxi, she hurriedly got out of the car, intending to settle the score with her. Although the anger today was not directed at her, seeing Maya being beaten that badly did satisfy Ruby.
In comparison, Steve looked more composed. He had arranged for Rusell Henris to inform Mrs. Leighton about the affair taking place at the Four Seasons Hotel. It just so happened that he and Ruby encountered the scene of Maya being abused by Mrs. Leighton. So, he unhesitatingly showed off his happiness with Ruby in front of her.
