Steve Burton’s hand wasn’t very serious. After stopping the bleeding and bandaging it, he was fine.

Throughout the entire press conference, his demeanor remained calm and composed.

After the press conference was over, there was a luncheon.

Ruby Gregory was surrounded by famous ladies from the capital city, and although their gazes at her were not as curious and eerie as during the previous night’s celebration ceremony, they still couldn’t help but size her up continuously.

She learned from Olivia Foster how terrible the rumors about her and Steve Burton were, so she just sat there without engaging in any conversation with anyone.

It was a banquet with alcohol during the luncheon, and the upper management of Pristine’s Enterprises went from table to table toasting.

Steve’s mother first went to the table with ladies around her age and toasted them one by one. She then came over to where Ruby was sitting.

Everyone knew that this was Steve’s mother, and all the beautiful ladies were trying to show enthusiasm and understanding.

Steve’s mother toasted with everyone individually, finally lifting her glass to

Ruby.

Ruby reached out with both hands to take the glass: “Aunt Burton.”

Steve’s mother looked at Ruby with a smile: “Ruby, I forgot my phone at the Burtons’ Mansion last night, and I almost caused you to miss the celebration ceremony. Thank you for going back to get it for me.”

Last night she never actually helped Aunt Burton to get her phone back?

What did she mean by saying that?

Ruby was stunned as she looked into Aunt Burton’s eyes, but as everyone raised their glasses and downed their drinks, she finally realized that Aunt Burton was indirectly clearing her name from the rumors that had spread.

Ruby gratefully gave Aunt Burton a smile. Aunt Burton nodded at her and then went to the next table.

The surrounding ladies had almost all heard about Ruby’s shamelessness in seducing Steve at the viewing platform last night.

Everybody enjoyed gossiping about that rumor all night.

However, rumors just satisfy everyone’s malicious taste, and people held a half-doubting, half-believing attitude towards their veracity.

Now, with Aunt Burton’s simple words, everyone instantly understood that the rumor was just that – a rumor.

Not being continuously sized up by those ladies, Ruby felt much more relaxed, and after the luncheon, everyone gradually dispersed.

The tour car could not reach directly where Ruby was residing, so she had to walk along the wooden corridor.

Ruby’s room was arranged in the innermost part of the corridor. At first, many people could be seen returning to their rooms, but in the end, she was left alone.

Just as Ruby was about to reach her room, she heard a choked voice coming from the nearby woods.

“This is really too sudden, why am I being sent to study in Italy out of the blue?”
