Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Torturing Someone to Death Without Compensation (1)

Now, Ruby Gregory’s greatest fear was that Steve Burton would find out any clues about her relationship with Edric Reat.

Steve Burton was a very perceptive man, and in front of him, Ruby didn’t even have time to act like a stranger to Edric. How could it be possible for her to sing a love song with Edric in front of Steve?

Moreover, these people had now dug up her performance with Edric from the past, and the song was exactly the same as it was back then… not to mention the gossip about the golden couple, a match made in heaven…

She was going to marry Steve and she had kept the matter hidden from him for three years. She would never let the cat out of the bag at this point…

Ruby swallowed and gripped the cup of alcohol tightly. She forced a smile at her former classmates in the room and said softly, “I’m sorry, but I have a cold these days, and my throat is uncomfortable… ”

As she was saying this, Ruby coughed twice: “I really can’t sing at all, so I can only choose to drink three cups as a penalty and answer questions.”

When Steve heard Ruby’s refusal, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense heart softened. He then casually changed to a relaxed posture, as if he had never cared about anything happening in the private room.

However, his lazy posture didn’t even last for half a minute before he heard Ruby’s voice again: “I’m sorry, Edric, I’m going to drag you into this.”

Steve’s spine straightened sharply.

Although Ruby spoke to Edric in a tone with an obvious distance and politeness, which was a normal way of apologizing, Steve still felt a bit stifled in his heart.

Ruby was completely unaware of the change in the man beside her. After saying those words, she quickly glanced at Edric and, without waiting for any reaction from the people in the room, raised her head and drank the alcohol in her cup.

No matter how much everyone wanted to see Ruby and Edric perform together, Ruby had already drunk a cup of alcohol. The penalty of drinking three cups and answering questions had inevitably become the final outcome.

Although everyone might feel a little bit regretful, someone still got up, took the alcohol bottle, and poured a second cup for Ruby.

Like the other male and female classmates who had been punished before, the man drank two of the three cups on behalf of the woman, so Edric was no exception. As Ruby was about to pick up her second cup of alcohol, he stepped forward and said, “Let me do it.”

Steve heard this, and his eyebrows furrowed sharply. Turning his head, he saw that Edric’s hand had already stretched towards the wine glass on the table.

What chivalry was he putting on?

Steve sneered in his heart, then shifted his gaze and caught a glimpse of his raised leg. Then he pretended to change his posture, lowering the leg resting on top of the other.

However, as he lowered his leg, he “carelessly” “bumped” into the marble table in front of him.

It would be more accurate to describe it as a “kick”.

Nonetheless, it really looked like an unintentional collision to those who were watching.

Underneath the table was a smooth marble floor. Due to the force of Steve’s secret kick, the table slid a little, causing the full glass of alcohol in Ruby’s hand to splash out more than half of its contents onto Edric’s hand and sleeve.
