To the Love of My Life

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: The Golden Boy and Jade Girl, a Natural Pair (2)
There were more boys than girls in Ruby Gregory’s class, and with her exceptional popularity among the boys, she naturally became the female class leader.

For class collective activities like this, it was natural for Ruby, the female class leader, to be in charge of planning and directing.

At that time, there was an organizing committee member in their class, who was also a girl. Aside from being slightly taller than Ruby, she didn’t seem to have any other advantages, but she could still be considered a bright beauty among the crowd.

It was said that this organizing committee member had once been elected as the Homecoming Queen in middle school, and she was doted upon by many. However, after entering high school and encountering Ruby, she lost much of her previous glory.

Even more, it was rumored that a senior whom the organizing committee member had a crush on actually sent Ruby flowers and a box of chocolates on the night of Chinese Valentine’s Day.

The items required for the Christmas event were ordered by all the classmates in Ruby’s class, but Ruby and the organizing committee member, along with several male classmates, went to a supermarket to buy them.

After buying the items, they began to arrange the classroom, and after going back and forth several times, it was already past seven o’clock in the evening. The boys, eager to go home and play games, left one after another and left Ruby and the organizing committee member in charge of finishing the small details.

Nearing the end of their work, the organizing committee member also found an excuse to leave, leaving Ruby alone in the end.

The next day, in the afternoon, it was time for the Christmas party in Ruby’s class.

This party had a raffle draw, the grand prize was an MP3 player. For students at the time, it was definitely a luxury item.

Ruby, the organizing committee member, and several boys had bought the Sony MP3 player together at the mall.

Ruby was the last person to leave the classroom the day before. All the gifts and food were piled up in a corner at the back of the classroom, and she didn’t think they would get lost. So, she just locked the classroom and went home.

However, when Ruby arrived at the classroom after lunch, she found the class teacher, the organizing committee member, and several class officers with particularly solemn expressions.

Ruby looked at everyone with a puzzled expression, but after a while, the class teacher told her the MP3 player was missing and pointed out that she was the last person who left the classroom the night before.

Ruby immediately understood what the class teacher was implying, so she tried making clear her innocence, but the class teacher remained skeptical, and even told Ruby it was good to correct her mistakes in the end.

Ruby, who had been busy preparing for the event for such a long time, was utterly wronged when accused of being a thief. The previous night, she was proud of the party venue she had personally set up, but now, she felt extremely upset.

The atmosphere at the time was tense. Ruby obviously hadn’t taken the MP3 and naturally didn’t want to admit it, but all the students were standing around, waiting for her, the last person to leave the classroom, to hand over the MP3.

Madeleine naturally supported Ruby without any reason, but due to her young age and lack of experience, she got scared seeing Ruby being doubted by so many people. So, with tears in her eyes, she called Howard Coleman for help with her phone.
