Chapter 27 - 27: I’ll Let You Get Lost (7)
Olivia Foster looked at Ruby Gregory’s slightly stiffened face, feeling a bit relieved and spoke with a lighter tone, “Ruby Gregory, during those three years in Costa Luna, did it hurt when you thought about how Steve Burton slept with you and didn’t want you anymore?”
Since she returned to the country, in just a few days, more than one person had mentioned how she was initially slept with and then abandoned by Steve Burton.
Steve Burton said mockingly, “Ruby Gregory, I slept with you and didn’t want you. You still come knocking on my door, how thick-skinned are you?”
Madeleine said, “Ruby, do you know that you’re something my brother doesn’t want anymore? Since he doesn’t want you, why do you still care about his feelings?”
Now, Olivia Foster said the same words.
She couldn’t offend Steve and couldn’t be angry with Madeleine, who cared for her wellbeing.
But it was different with Olivia Foster, who was just ridiculing her, laughing at her, and humiliating her.
In Ruby Gregory’s dictionary, the only person she should tolerate, compromise with, and please in this world was Steve Burton.
From an early age, she knew that besides enduring Steve’s temper, she didn’t have to tolerate anyone else’s.
She was just much better than Olivia Foster, who had been groomed by the Gregorys as the future mistress of the Burtons from an early age. The Gregorys taught her to remain composed, calm, and elegant at all times, never showing her emotions. So even though she was angry, her face remained calm and gentle. Her tone was also steady and smooth, “Thank you for your concern. During my three years in Costa Luna, I was much better off than you, bearing the title of illegitimate daughter and trying every possible way to please the Fosters.”
Use their own method against them.
Olivia Foster attacked her with the biggest weakness in her life, so she would do the same and counter her with the biggest weak point in her life.
Olivia Foster’s face suddenly turned pale. She stared at Ruby Gregory, gritting her teeth and said, “You,” then didn’t know what else to say.
Indeed, as Ruby Gregory said, she was an illegitimate daughter, and the Fosters never held her in high regard. So she had always tried her best to please them.
Ruby Gregory remembered Olivia’s first sarcastic words, and the smile on her face became even more elegant and noble. She leaned forward slightly, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Just now, you said I am eagerly asking Maya about Mr. Burton’s whereabouts? However, have you ever thought that if it were true, like you said, and Mr.. Burton is really annoyed with me, how could I be sitting in his secretary’s office? Don’t you know that his secretaries and assistants are all handpicked by him?”
