Ruby didn’t even dare to breathe, mustering courage in a low voice, she said, “This is the money you invested in my dad’s business.”

With an elegant demeanor, Steve leaned on the sofa without looking at Ruby. “Haven’t I said it before? Investment comes with risk, and this risk, I, Steve Burton, can still bear.”

“But my mother said that this money didn’t come from company accounts, but rather your personal accounts. So, I should return the money to you…”

Initially lounging calmly on the sofa, Steve’s gaze suddenly fell straight upon Ruby.

His lips curled into a smile in response to her words.

That smile made the man’s face even more exquisitely captivating.

However, Ruby felt as if this beautiful smile was laced with poison, frightening her so much that her heart nearly stopped.

Apart from the smile, his facial expression didn’t change much. Still, the warmth in his eyes seemed as if a thousand years of frozen snow were ice-cold and terrifying, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop significantly.

What Ruby feared most was Steve acting like this— wearing a mysterious smile that couldn’t be deciphered while looking at her intently.

Steve might appear calm and ordinary on the surface, but she knew that at any moment, he could erupt with deadly danger.

Scared, she immediately stopped talking, filtering out everything she had said and done that day. She had clarified things about Pristine’s Enterprises for him and actively assumed the risk of his investment. She had been quite considerate of him, so why was he angry?

Steve stared at Ruby for quite a while before he slowly stood up from the sofa. He took a leisurely stroll, stopping right in front of her, stretching out two fingers and taking the bank card from her hand. He examined it for a second, “Is the money you’re returning to me in this card?”

Steve’s tone sounded as usual. Ruby observed his expression and found him relatively calm, so she swallowed hard, chose her words carefully, and answered Steve’s question: “There’s US$6,860,000 in the card, and there’s no password.”

Before Ruby could finish speaking, the man’s face turned cold suddenly, and he violently smashed the card onto Ruby’s face: “Ruby Gregory, your calculations are really accurate!”

Steve’s force was quite strong. The card hit Ruby’s hair, causing her combed hair to become a mess along with a sharp pain.

Ruby had not expected Steve to turn cold so abruptly, without any warning. She winced and lowered her head even more.

She knew that Steve was angry again. Although she didn’t know why he was so furious when she returned the money, Ruby knew that it was best not to speak at this point to avoid provoking him further with a wrong word.

Steve stared at Ruby expressionlessly for a long time. His voice sounded somewhat weak when he finally spoke, “Ruby Gregory, do you think there’s any meaning to our marriage?”

Initially, Ruby had planned to remain silent and let Steve cool off—
