Chapter 784: Chapter 784: The Most Romantic Proposal (14)

Although Ruby Gregory had truly given up hope on the marriage proposal, she couldn’t help feeling a twinge of disappointment when she heard two people discussing how their fiancés had proposed to them as she was in the city’s beauty parlor, getting her hair and makeup done in the afternoon with the car sent by the Burtons.

Ruby had a spa treatment, got her makeup done, and chose an evening dress. It was already 6:30 PM when she left, and Steve Burton personally picked her up.

Ruby’s birthday dinner was booked for 8 PM, and the beauty salon was quite far from the Grand Capital Hotel. Traffic was congested on the road, so by the time Steve and Ruby arrived at the hotel, it was already 7:50 PM.

As the guests had almost all arrived at the banquet hall, Howard Coleman, who had also been discharged from the hospital, arrived with Madeleine.

Ruby arrived just in time for the event and immediately joined arms with her father, Maxwell Gregory, and went up to the stage without having a chance to greet her familiar friends.

Today, Ruby wore a nude strapless long dress. A pearl necklace adorned her fair and beautiful collarbone. Her once-short hair was now long and curled, casually resting on the back of her head, radiating sensuality.

...

Standing in the center of the stage under the spotlight, she took the microphone handed to her by the attendant, handed it to her father first, and waited for him to finish speaking. Afterward, she took it back and spoke in a gentle and gracious tone, smiling slightly at the beautifully dressed guests below the stage, “Thank you all very much for attending my birthday party despite your busy schedules. I hope you come here with joy and leave with satisfaction tonight.”

After she finished speaking, Ruby bowed to the audience below the stage.

Amidst the applause, a server handed her a glass of champagne. Ruby raised the glass to the audience below, then drank it all in one go.

The guests below the stage also raised their glasses and drank in unison.

Ruby handed the empty glass to the server, lifted the hem of her long dress, and stepped down from the stage.

Steve was waiting for her at the foot of the stage’s staircase. As Ruby approached, she naturally linked arms with him, maintaining a proper smile and politely responding to the guests who came to offer their congratulations.

Ruby hadn’t attended any social events for almost a year, so she felt a bit overwhelmed after making the rounds toasting with the guests. She turned to Steve who was beside her and whispered, “Shall we step outside for some air?”

“Alright,” Steve nodded gently and led Ruby towards the corner sofas. But before they could reach the resting area, Rusell Henris hurriedly pushed through the crowded banquet hall towards them and said, “Steve…”

Both Steve and Ruby stopped and looked at Rusell.

“I have some good news to share with you…” Rusell seemed to be out of breath, possibly from rushing over. He swallowed and continued, “The police station just called me. They’ve caught Maya Mitchell. She was arrested at the Grand Capital Hotel, on the 13th floor, and has been detained.”

That really was good news… Ruby’s expression instantly turned cold, her lips pressed tightly together. She glanced at Steve first before saying to Rusell, “I want to see her now.”
