Steve Burton stopped his actions and gazed into Ruby Gregory’s eyes. After a moment, he said, “You want an invitation to my birthday party, don’t you? Sleep with me now, and I’ll have Wenny Burton send you an invite!”

How did he know she wanted an invitation to his birthday party? Could it be that he already knew her true purpose for going to the Burtons to see Wenny Burton?

Although she didn’t know what had annoyed Steve Burton three years ago, based on his current attitude towards her, he probably never intended to invite her to his birthday party.

Originally, her plan was to bypass Steve Burton and ask Wenny Burton for an invitation, so she wouldn’t be humiliated by not being able to attend his birthday party and become a laughingstock.

However, now he saw through her little scheme.

If he were to intervene, Wenny Burton would definitely not give her an invitation to his birthday party…

Could it be that she really had to follow his words and exchange for his birthday invitation in the way he described?contemporary romance

Ruby was feeling a mix of hesitation and struggle deep within her heart.

Steve Burton’s eyes, usually cold and indifferent, seemed to warm up, even carrying a hint of a smile when he saw the hesitation and uncertainty in hers.

It turned out that Ruby Gregory was not so desperate and helpless; deep down, she still cared about her dignity and pride.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Steve Burton’s words were still indifferent and cold, but his tone had softened considerably, no longer as sharp and biting. “Ruby Gregory, you know that if I say the word, Wenny Burton would never dare to give you that invitation.”

As expected, he wouldn’t let things go smoothly for her.

Ruby clenched her hand into a fist. Her feminine reserve and dignity made it impossible for her to agree to his proposal.

Many people in Ciawell knew about the once good relationship between the daughter of the Gregorys and the successor of the Burtons, and many knew about her inexplicable departure to Costa Luna three years ago.

Although they might not know the specifics of what had happened, everyone was eager to see the outcome of her return to the country and her subsequent interactions with Steve Burton.

Having grown up in the upper-class circles, Ruby understood better than anyone that if she were not invited to Steve Burton’s birthday party, the mystery of her trip to Costa Luna three years prior would turn into her being cast aside by Steve Burton long ago.

Most of the Gregorys’ business in recent years was founded on the belief that Ruby might marry Steve Burton and tied their collaboration with the Burtons accordingly.

If everyone knew that she had no hope with Steve Burton, those shrewd businessmen would surely realize that the Gregorys offered no benefits for the future; they would undoubtedly cease to cooperate with the Gregorys.

At that point, the Gregorys’ business would be in grave danger!

Ruby was lost in thought for too long, making Steve Burton believe that she might actually refuse his proposal..
