Ruby could not understand her own emotions as a heavy sense of panic filled her heart. It was as if she feared her hard-won dream would be shattered, and she felt alarmed at the prospect of not being able to marry Steve.

Seeing his expression, her face turned somewhat pale. Her lips trembled for a long time before she softly asked, “Are you canceling our engagement?”

Steve, however, seemed to have heard a hilarious joke. Upon hearing Ruby’s words, he suddenly hooked his lips in a faint smile. Yet, his heart seemed to have turned ice cold.

Seeing Steve’s smile, Ruby’s heart grew even more terrified. Racking her brain, she tried to recall what she might have done wrong. But in the end, all she could think of was that it might be due to the sudden accident involving Gregory’s Enterprises, which made him have these thoughts.

“Did the accident at Gregory’s Enterprises upset you? I have already cut ties with Pristine’s Enterprises, and I’ll return the money to you… ”

“Shut up!” Ruby not mentioning these things was fine, but bringing them up suddenly ignited the anger that Steve had suppressed all day, causing it to explode.

He knew that the moment her father fell ill, his first thought was to visit her father at the hospital.

And what about her? She came to his door personally to pay him back!

What was the point of her hurrying to return the money? Was she afraid that the accident at Gregory’s Enterprises would cause him to become biased against her, so she quickly rushed to pay him back, wanting to secure her position as Mrs. Burton?

Did Ruby truly see Steve as her fiance, her future husband, and the person she could rely on for the rest of her life?

Steve grew increasingly amused as he thought about it, a hint of laughter appearing at the corner of his mouth. Yet he felt the flames of anger inside him grow stronger, consuming his entire body. His veins, cells, and even bone marrow all seemed to be burning with unbearable heat, numbing his heart with pain.

Steve reached out with his right hand, using his thumb and index finger to pinch Ruby’s jaw, lifting her face up, forcing her to look directly into his eyes. “Ruby Gregory, it really seems deep down, what you care most about is your position as Mrs. Burton, isn’t it?”

“Three years ago, I slept with you for nothing. Three years later, you returned to the country, brazenly sticking to me, trying your best to get pregnant with my child and marry me. Is it not just for the money behind me? To you, am I not just an ATM, a tool to make Gregory’s Enterprises rise to fame?”

“Since you care so much about your position as Mrs. Burton, why are you now pretending to be noble by returning money to me? Could it be you think that US$6,860,000 is too little? You want US$68,600,000, US$686,000,000, or US$6,860,000,000?”

Steve Burton had always had a vicious tongue, and being angry at this moment, he only cared about making Ruby suffer as much as he did. The words he spoke seemed like a deadly poison, brutally stabbing into Ruby’s heart.

Ruby looked at Steve’s perfectly contoured lips and the dark eyes that seemed to be cracking. She never thought he would say such hurtful things to her again.
