To the Love of My Life-Chapter 788 - : The Most Romantic Proposal (18)
Chapter 788: Chapter 788: The Most Romantic Proposal (18)
Deep in Ruby Gregory’s heart, what she couldn’t bear to see was someone insulting Madeleine. She held a teacup and smashed it hard against Maya Mitchell’s head: “Maya Mitchell, shut your mouth! What right do you have to compare yourself with Madeleine? If you want to confront me with bright and honest methods like her, I’ll accept that you’re something! But look at you, playing tricks behind the scenes with no bottom line. You’re not even worthy of being mentioned with Madeleine!”
Blood from the teacup oozed down Maya’s forehead, but she didn’t care. Instead, she smirked, laughing with malice, looking back at Ruby and gritting her teeth: “Yes, I’m not worthy of comparison with Madeleine. Because in your heart, I, Maya Mitchell, am nothing but a pathetic creature. Was the help you offered me in college sincere? You were just doing it to show off your goodness. I was nothing but a decoration to you. Do you really think I appreciate your help? Let me tell you, the help you gave me is the most shameful thing in my life…”
How her sincere help back then had now been labeled a show and a disgrace… Ruby’s body trembled with anger. Instinctively, she reached out, wanting to lunge at Maya and tear her apart.
Steve Burton, who had been sitting calmly by the side, suddenly stood up and reached out, grabbing hold of Ruby, his voice soft and gentle: “Ruby, you said it yourself, she has no bottom line. What’s the point of arguing with a mad dog like her?”
After a pause, Steve continued: “You’re right. When we were rich and reckless, we were bringing shame to her. I’m really glad a mad dog can have moments of self-awareness.”
Steve’s words were sharp and cutting, not showing any mercy. Maya’s face turned incredibly ugly.
...
Ruby suddenly felt much better.
Seeing Ruby’s face improve, Steve reached out and gently patted her head: “Ruby, you go out. I’ll handle this.”
Ruby looked into Steve’s eyes with a hint of doubt.
Steve gave her a reassuring look: “Be good, trust me, and wait for me outside.”
Ruby originally came to confront Maya, but she didn’t expect to be the one left bitter and angry in the end. She didn’t want to leave, but seeing the seriousness in Steve’s eyes, she hesitated for a moment and nodded obediently, walking out of the private room.
Inside the private room, only Steve and Maya sat face to face.
As Maya faced Steve, she no longer had the arrogance and fierceness she showed when confronting Ruby. Even the look she gave Steve held a hint of tenderness and infatuation.
Steve seemed not to notice her infatuation, as he poured himself a cup of tea, drank it slowly, placed the cup back down, stared at Maya and cut straight to the chase: “Ruby is still waiting for me outside, so I’ll keep it short.”
Maya’s lips trembled slightly, but she didn’t say anything. A trace of loneliness crossed her face.
Steve, calm and composed, stared at Maya for a second and leaned back against the chair. He casually and comfortably crossed his left leg over his right, and asked: “Maya Mitchell, you like me, don’t you?”
