“Ruby.”

Upon hearing her name, Ruby Gregory turned her head and saw Olivia Foster.

Olivia was wearing a scarlet bustier dress adorned with numerous sequins that sparkled under the crystal lights of the banquet hall.

The well-bred ladies clustering around her were all strikingly elegant.

Ruby knew the women accompanying Olivia. They were all of similar age and often interacted since childhood. Especially during her best years with Steve Burton, these women would frequently present her with gifts and surround her during banquets, just as they were now doing with Olivia.

With a faint smile on her face, Ruby idly held her glass of wine, slowly turning her body but remaining in place.

Since Ruby had slapped Olivia twice before, the two had not communicated until now. Ruby had assumed that Olivia wouldn’t talk to her anymore, yet surprisingly, Olivia was approaching her with these elite women, striding gracefully.

After sizing up Ruby, Olivia thought she stood out amongst the elite women, yet she always seemed to fall short compared to Ruby.

Time flew by, and three years later, Ruby returned to Ciawell. Her attire was not ordinary but custom-made, her makeup and hairstyle weren’t crafted by top designers. Yet, she still effortlessly outshone Olivia, who had spent a fortune to meticulously enhance her own beauty.

Olivia felt a touch of annoyance deep down. She looked at the corners of Ruby’s lips, curved in a smile. She began to speak, her words still as irritating as ever. “Ruby, so many years have passed and you’re still the same, dazzling and eye-catching. I can’t see any hints of your past rejections.”

Hints of past rejections?

Was she referring to the incident wherein Steve slept with her and then discarded her?

Ruby blinked, inwardly acknowledging that Olivia’s remark tonight was indeed sophisticated.

She had simultaneously complimented Ruby’s beauty and picked at her old wounds.

Had Ruby retorted sharply, it might have seemed that Olivia had the upper hand.

Too bad for her, Ruby was never one to back down.

If Olivia could spice her insult to taste good, surely, so could Ruby.

Ruby quietly looked at Olivia. After a moment of silence, she smiled and said, “Olivia, the same goes for you. All these years have passed and you’re still the same. You always need something shiny to just about make yourself look eye-catching..”
