Translator: 549690339

Steve Burton was very good at catching the key points in people’s words.

For example, the word “also” in Ruby Gregory’s mouth at this moment.

His eyebrows gently furrowed. So, Maya Mitchell actually bought two sets of identical clothes for Ruby?

Ruby didn’t look at Steve’s expression and did not notice anything unusual with the man’s demeanor, she continued to speak: “When Maya was buying the clothes, I wasn’t at the mall, right? She was worried that the size she bought might not fit me, so she asked me to try it on in the restroom. If the size wasn’t right, we could easily exchange it downstairs at the store, instead of coming back again later.”

As Ruby said this, Steve suddenly interrupted: “Afterwards, did you wear the outfit Maya bought for you and come out of the restroom?”

“How did you know?” Ruby looked up at Steve in slight surprise.

Instead of answering Ruby’s question, Steve asked another one: “Do you often go out to play with Maya?”

“No, just that one time.” Ruby shook her head and felt that the questions Steve asked tonight were mostly about Maya. She furrowed her brows and asked out loud, “What’s wrong with Maya? Is there something not right?”

Steve looked at the ceiling indifferently and said nothing.

Ruby saw that the man ignored her, pouted her mouth, and buried her head back in Steve’s chest, closing her eyes again.

The bedroom was quiet. Although Ruby had been asleep for a long time, after what had just happened, she fell soundly asleep once again.

Listening to the woman’s steady and gentle breathing, Steve’s face gradually grew colder.

He noticed the clothes that Maya bought for Ruby when he brought her back from the abandoned steel factory. It was from an international luxury brand that was quite expensive.

For him, that kind of gift wouldn’t seem too valuable, but when it came to Maya, people might feel that Maya was being a bit too generous towards Ruby.

During the long time since Ruby returned to China, Maya had plenty of chances to meet up with Ruby. Why did she choose that day in particular? And after that, Ruby was kidnapped?

He had always known about the discord between Olivia Foster and Ruby, but with Maya…

Steve recalled the scene when Maya, disheveled and desperate, came to find him at The Sapphire Bistro on the day Ruby was kidnapped. Her feet were injured, and she hurriedly looked worried.

If she knew from the beginning that she was being targeted by the kidnappers and wanted Ruby to be taken in her place, why would she come to find him to save Ruby after Ruby’s abduction?

Could it be that all of this was merely a coincidence?

Maya had no idea that she was being targeted by the kidnappers. She simply wanted to invite Ruby out for fun. Then, by sheer bad luck, the kidnappers got the wrong person?

Steve’s eyebrows gently furrowed, feeling that no matter how he thought about it, something was off about the situation.

Ruby didn’t sleep for long this time, waking up in less than half an hour. When she opened her eyes, Steve was lying beside her with his eyes half-closed, seemingly asleep.

Ruby habitually reached for her phone at the edge of the bed; after searching for a while, she couldn’t find her phone, but woke Steve up instead.
