Chapter 472: Chapter 472: What do I mean to you? (2)
Steve Burton on the other end of the phone seemed to have great patience.

He waited for Ruby Gregory for a long time before leisurely asking, “Gregory’s Enterprises encountered such great difficulties, do you need my help?”

In the past, Ruby had tried countless times to approach Steve, using him to bring about prosperity for Gregory’s Enterprises, driven by Pristine’s Enterprises.

Now, when Steve personally asked if she needed any help, Ruby just couldn’t bring herself to ask.

She even thought about, in the car, her mother telling her that as long as Pristine’s Enterprises still existed, the Gregorys would never die. Also, at the press conference, one journalist said the same thing, that Pristine’s Enterprises was still around, and marrying Steve would make it easy for the Gregorys to rise again. It seemed in everyone’s eyes, her actions today were all laying the groundwork for the future of Gregory’s Enterprises.

In the past, she might have planned and acted this way, but today, she really hadn’t thought that much.

Actually, the Gregorys needed Steve’s help, and all along, her marrying Steve was just for times like these when they faced a deadly situation and needed to rely on him. But when this moment arrived, she realized that she didn’t want his help at all.

Ruby stared out the window for a long time before whispering, “No.”

Once again, silence fell on the other end of the phone.

Although separated by a phone call, Ruby didn’t know the expression on Steve’s face, but this silence made her feel a little uneasy.

She thought about her mother telling her about the US$6,860,000 Steve had provided interest-free to her father for investment, and how it had ultimately gone down the drain without earning anything in return.

US$6,860,000 was not a small amount.

Ruby swallowed and whispered, “Thank you for the US$6,860,000 investment for my dad, but that investment didn’t earn you any return before it was lost.”

This time, Steve didn’t remain silent but spoke in a low tone, “It’s okay, investment always carries risks.”

Ruby pursed her lips, “I’ll find a way to pay back that US$6,860,000.”

“No need,” Steve quickly replied, then paused and continued, “Compared with the US$466,600,000 I originally planned to spend, US$6,860,000 is nothing.”

Speaking of this, Steve laughed a little on the other end of the phone, “It’s just a pity that the US$466,600,000 wasn’t spent.”

Ruby didn’t quite understand what he meant by “the US$466,600,000” but, even without his emphasis, she knew that US$6,860,000 meant next to nothing for Pristine’s Enterprises. Yet, she couldn’t shake the thought of wanting to pay back every cent of that US$6,860,000 to Steve.

Ruby found her current thoughts strange. Hadn’t she fought tooth and nail to marry Steve for the wealth and power he possessed?

She didn’t know where the idea of repaying the money came from, but she felt that, only by doing so would her heart feel at ease, and she could hold her head up high when facing Steve.

Ruby clenched her hand tightly, staring at the slightly hazy sky outside the window, and blinked. Once again, she spoke to Steve on the phone, “That US$6,860,000 belongs to you; repaying you is the right thing to do…”

PS: I know many people have opinions about this book. Actually, I deliberately conceived a female lead who seems like a puppet at first. It’s precisely because of her that the story is so interesting, isn’t it? Cabbage and potatoes, different strokes for different folks. I’ve written so many books always with the intention of providing entertainment for everyone, aiming only to make you smile. I hope you all accept it with a laugh~
