Ruby Gregory clearly saw that their hands had already grabbed Madeleine's collar.
For her, Steve Burton was important, and her love for Steve was important, but Madeleine was also important.
In this world, many times, many people are selfish when making choices.
There is nothing wrong with this; if people do not look out for themselves, they will face disaster.
However, Ruby Gregory couldn't do it.
She knew that since Steve hadn't received her call, he would definitely find every means to look for her. She also knew that the last time she was kidnapped, Steve could find out where she was in such a short time. This time, she hadn't even left Ciawell, so naturally, he would find her even more quickly.
So, she said so much just now to stall for time, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she would not give up because Steve might appear the next second.
But she really couldn't stall any longer now.
Because she couldn't watch Madeleine be humiliated.
