Ruby and Madeleine had known each other for many years, and Madeleine had seen Ruby in countless embarrassing situations before.
But at this very moment, Ruby didn't want anyone to see her disheveled appearance, which was a result of Steve Burton's actions.
This was her humiliation, and she wouldn't allow anyone to witness it.
Although her dress was torn by Steve, Ruby still managed to put on her undergarments and wore the dress. She then sat upright in the dining chair.
Madeleine arrived quite quickly, in less than twenty minutes.
She was carrying a bag and hurriedly pushed the door open.
Although Ruby was sitting properly in the dining chair, looking as if nothing had happened, Madeleine could see her messy hair, torn clothing, swollen lips, and the marks on her exposed skin. She was stunned for a moment.
Ruby's attempt to conceal her humiliation crumbled under Madeleine's gaze, and she quickly lowered her head.
