Without waiting for a reaction from Charlotte Madris, she promptly hung up the call.

As Charlotte tried to reach out once again over the phone, she was met with a busy tone.

Clearly, Charlotte’s cell phone number was now on Steve Burton’s blacklist.

Undeterred, Charlotte kept trying to reach Steve Burton. When Ruby Gregory lost count of how many times Charlotte had hit the call button, Charlotte’s phone suddenly rang.

An incoming call.

Charlotte quickly picked up the phone, still on speaker mode.

A middle-aged female voice came through, “Leony, what did Mr. Burton say? Is he willing to help you?”

Charlotte remained silent. The person on the other end seemed to understand something, sighed and continued, “Leony, I knew it. It’s all your wishful thinking.”

“How is it my wishful thinking? Mom, you don’t know. Last night, it was Mr. Burton who spoke to me first. He saw me admiring that flower and picked it for me. He even personally escorted me back to my room…”

“Leony, Mr. Burton’s actions may just be him being courteous. Besides, when

Madam Burton called your father today, she hinted that you should leave Mr. Burton alone. Leony, don’t expect anything more, get ready to go to Italy. Don’t make things hard for your parents.”

From a not so far distance, Ruby Gregory watched all this unfold. Her brows furrowing slightly.

Last night, she had seen Steve Burton and Charlotte Madris getting along nicely, a sight she had never experienced with him. She thought Steve Burton must have some real feelings for Charlotte.

But, from the phone calls Charlotte just made with Steve and her mother, it seemed to be not the case.

Even more, Madam Burton personally intervened, sent Charlotte to Italy…Only one thing could warrant Madam Burton’s personal intervention…

Thinking of this, Ruby Gregory felt she had a vague understanding of something. Her eyes suddenly brightened.

Madam Burton never interfered in Steve Burton’s affairs with women, except for his reckless actions on the observation deck last night.

During breakfast today, when Ruby was at a loss for how to deal with Olivia Foster, Steve Burton suddenly asked Olivia about Charlotte.

At that time, the atmosphere was so tense that Ruby didn’t think much about it. Later, when she recalled the incident, she was somewhat confused as to why

Steve would mention Charlotte.

Now, she understood.

She understood it all.

Last night, the scene between Steve Burton and Charlotte Madris at the back door of the banquet hall… was nothing but a show, a play!

A play put on for Aunt Burton!
