Ruby Gregory secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Without Maxwell Gregory and Steve Burton's conversation, the dining room seemed somewhat empty and desolate.
Ruby was afraid that Steve would look down upon her father, so she explained, "My dad just made a casual comment. Don't overthink it."
Steve was very smart. He not only understood Maxwell's insinuation but also knew why Ruby, who had been quietly eating beside him, suddenly started complaining about her father.
She probably thought he wouldn't help the Gregorys. She was afraid that if he refused, it would hurt her father's pride, so she tried to change the subject and not let him speak up.
Ruby had always been like this, fighting in her own way to marry him so that she could rely on this relationship to make the Gregorys respected and successful. She never thought about coming to him and asking for help directly.
