Chapter 198: 198 Warm Encounter (12)

Ruby was implying that even with expensive and luxurious items, Olivia couldn’t outshine her.

Olivia’s smile tightened, her gaze turning colder. Just as Ruby thought she would finally show her true colors and start a hysterical argument, Olivia suddenly changed her expression, turned her head, and said to the socialites around her with a smile: “Every time I joke with Ruby, she always manages to silence me with her wit.”

After saying that, Olivia seemed to have thought of something and continued: “You all must remember Ruby, right? Ruby Gregory, the one who was once very close with Steve Burton.”

Olivia knew about the details of Ruby having an intimate encounter with Steve Burton and then being discarded by him before she went to Costa Luna. But the others socialites only knew that Ruby had suddenly gone to Costa Luna. So with Olivia’s words, the others began greeting Ruby immediately.

eight o’clock celebratory ceremony. Ruby’s eyes drooped, and she quietly left

the scene.

Ruby slowly walked down the wooden steps, eventually arriving at a secluded viewing platform on the mountaintop.

Looking down at the brilliantly lit Red Park Resort & Villas, she thought of the words the socialites had said to her.

She knew that they didn’t know what had happened between her and Steve, which was why they were asking her about it..
