Ruby Gregory was still in a daze, unable to react, when Maya Mitchell added, “Ruby, Mr. Burton said that if this document isn’t delivered by 8:30, he’ll have you kicked out of Pristine’s Enterprises!”

8:30? Ruby Gregory raised her wrist, glanced at the time, and saw that it was already 8:09. She only had twenty-one minutes left before 8:30.

Was Steve Burton deliberately making things difficult for her, intending to use this to have her removed from Pristine’s Enterprises?

Ruby Gregory took the document from Maya Mitchell and casually asked, “This collaboration case isn’t under my responsibility, so why am I the one who has to deliver it?”

Maya Mitchell said, “I don’t know what exactly is going on either, but Olivia

Foster just called, saying that Mr. Burton asked you to deliver it.”

Olivia Foster made the call? Ruby Gregory frowned slightly and then asked,

“Olivia Foster said it was Mr. Burton who said that?”

Maya Mitchell didn’t quite understand why Ruby Gregory wanted her to repeat her own words, but she nodded and urged her, “Ruby, you’d better hurry and deliver it, or you may not make it in time. It’s rush hour now, so don’t drive.

Just take the Number 2 subway line.”

Ruby Gregory’s expression remained calm, but her eyes deepened slightly. She was silent for a moment, then just said “oh,” before turning around and leaving with the collaboration case in hand.

Ruby Gregory was no fool.

Although Maya Mitchell didn’t provide her with much information, she could still vaguely guess some things.

She was not sure whether Steve Burton actually said that she would be kicked out of Pristine’s Enterprises if she couldn’t deliver the collaboration case by 8:30. However, she knew that the huge problem she was facing now was definitely connected to Olivia Foster!

She never thought that after three years, Olivia Foster’s tactics would still be so clumsy and easily discovered.

The purpose of Olivia Foster’s actions was obvious—she just wanted to use the situation to force Ruby out of Pristine’s Enterprises!

At this thought, Ruby’s eyes grew colder.

She gripped the document containing the collaboration case and hurriedly rushed towards the subway station.

Although the Gregory family was not as wealthy as the Burtons, they had always pampered Ruby like their precious gem. She had never before experienced cramming into a subway with other passengers during rush hour.

Ruby Gregory was squeezed so that her feet barely touched the ground, and she was surrounded by various odors coming from the other passengers.

But she clenched her teeth and endured it.

Wasn’t it that Olivia Foster just wanted to see her lose, to watch her make a fool of herself?

Then, whatever it was that she thought Ruby couldn’t accomplish, Ruby was determined to prove her wrong and do even better at it!

She had said before that, no matter who gets in the way of her marrying Steve Burton, she would show no mercy!

The nearest subway station was about five hundred meters away from the club.

The streets were jammed with cars, and trying to hail a taxi would probably waste even more time.

Ruby Gregory raised her wrist again, looked at the time, and saw that she had eight minutes left. Gritting her teeth, she plunged toward the club’s direction and started running..
