Chapter 228 Priding Oneself in One's Success (2)
Ruby's older cousin married into the Burtons, so Ruby naturally became their relative as well. In this way, they were truly family, while she, Ruby Gregory, was merely an outsider.
Based on Steve Burton's cousin-in-law's words, it was clear that Steve had only acted that way to save face for an outsider like her, and had intentionally embarrassed Olivia Foster.
What a clever tongue she had, using just a few dozen simple words to easily twist Steve's words from seemingly defending Ruby into protecting Olivia instead. If there weren't so many people around, Ruby really wanted to clap her hands in applause!
