When Maya Mitchell said this, she deliberately paused. She could tell Steve Burton’s face became even darker, knowing that he must think she had spread the news about Ruby Gregory going to the observation deck. She tried to steady her emotions and appeared calm, her voice was gentle as she continued,

“Later, I went straight into the banquet hall. While I was getting food, I saw Ruby going down the mountain alone from the left side of the hall through the window. Ruby once saved me, so in my heart, I always regarded her as my benefactor. I was really grateful to her. It was already dark outside, and I was afraid she would be in danger going down the mountain alone, so I called her.”

As long as the matter of Ruby Gregory going to the observation deck remained unclear, Madam Burton would not stop suspecting her in her heart.

Before I had even finished speaking, Ms. Foster hastily asked me if Ruby had gone to the observation deck. ”

Maya Mitchell said so much, yet only this one sentence was true.

“At that time, I noticed something was off about Ms. Foster’s expression, so I asked her if there was a problem. But she told me to leave, and after that, I left the bathroom. Then, just now, Ms. Foster asked me to come up and testify…”

Maya Mitchell quietly glanced at Steve Burton, noticing that the coldness in his brow had slightly eased. She felt a bit relieved, took a deep breath, walked up to Aunt Burton with her phone, handed her the edited call log, and said, “Madam Burton, I have the call log as evidence..”
