To the Love of My Life

Chapter 285: 285: Wanting Her to Love Me (15)

Steve’s gaze slowly fell upon Ruby Gregory, who was curled up on the sofa, looking disheveled.

The woman’s head was turned toward the inside of the sofa, her shoulders trembling slightly as if she were crying.

Steve’s brow furrowed fiercely, his heart feeling like it was being tightly grasped by something, accompanied by intense pain and a crazed joy.

He stared at her for a moment, swallowed, then slowly leaned down, raised his hand, gripped Ruby’s chin, and pulled her face out of the sofa.

The face of Ruby that Steve saw was, apart from being pale, just as usual, without the slightest trace of tears.

Ha, was he delusional? She didn’t even care about him, so how could she feel sad by his actions?

Steve’s eyes were tinged with a touch of laughter, and he spoke in a voice that was cold as ice, “Ruby Gregory, you really have guts. You seem to care about me, but in reality, you never did. Last time, I made you take contraceptives; this time, you made Madeleine go abroad. I wonder what tricks you’ll pull next!”

Ruby shuddered violently.

Steve slightly increased the pressure on her chin, “Just remember, if I have the power to let the Gregorys survive, I also have the power to let the Gregorys perish!”

Ruby’s face showed panic, as if she had heard something terrifying. Her closed eyes were trembling violently, as if she had been truly frightened by Steve’s words.

Steve looked at Ruby’s expression and realized that his words had gone too far.

Wasn’t this woman always saying she wanted to go abroad?

What if she really ran away because of his words?

Steve’s lips moved slightly, wanting to say something to remedy the situation, but he couldn’t swallow his pride. In the end, he coldly released Ruby’s chin and, without waiting for her reaction, strode towards the door.

As he opened the door, Steve hesitated for a moment, but still left a sentence: “Since you want to use me to save Gregory’s Enterprises, think about what I really want! And what exactly should you give me in return!”

After finishing, the door was slammed shut forcefully by Steve.

Ruby’s entire body became like a puddle of mud, completely drained of strength.

No matter how he mocked her or scolded her, this time, he had used the Gregorys to threaten her.

She approached him to save the Gregorys, but didn’t expect that, in the end, she almost ruined the Gregorys.

Just as Ruby was disoriented from the fear of Steve’s words, her phone suddenly rang.

It took a lot of effort for Ruby to reach her phone and see the caller ID displaying her Dad’s name..
