Chapter 243: 243 Priding Oneself in One’s Success (17)
Only five simple words, they struck like thunder in Olivia Foster’s mind.
Olivia Foster’s face turned pale momentarily, as she stared at Maya Mitchell’s eyes, full of disbelief.
She stared at Maya Mitchell blankly for a while, finally snapping out of it. The next second, disregarding so many people present and her own image, Olivia shouted at Maya: “Maya Mitchell, what are you talking about? It was you who told me that Ruby Gregory went to the viewing platform, and now you say you didn’t see!”
Olivia Foster had wanted to clear up Aunt Burton’s misunderstanding by relying on Maya Mitchell’s words, but Maya’s response undeniably confirmed her plot against Ruby Gregory and her malicious framing.
Olivia Foster panicked, quickly turning her head to look at the calm-faced Aunt Burton, and anxiously explained: “Aunt Burton, she’s lying! It’s all her who told me everything! ”
“Aunt Burton, you have to believe me, I only heard it from her.”
“It was her who told me that Ruby Gregory went to the viewing platform.”
“Aunt Burton…”
Maya Mitchell subtly shifted her gaze. She glanced at Steve Burton first, noticing his slightly gloomy expression. Her heart missed a beat, and then her eyes fell on Ruby, who had a slightly frowned brow.
Maya Mitchell knew in her heart that Olivia Foster didn’t arbitrarily point out that it was her who told about Ruby going to the viewing platform.
Everyone present must have had their doubts, holding half belief towards her and Olivia Foster.
Now only two choices were left for her.
Either both Olivia Foster and her would seem bad in Steve Burton’s eyes.
Or it would just be Olivia Foster seeming bad in his heart.
With just a fleeting thought, Maya Mitchell made her choice.
She quickly weighed her options in her heart, looked at Olivia Foster beside her, who was still repeating her words trying to clear her name. Maya swallowed and opened her mouth slightly trembling, saying: “Yesterday, it was Ms. Foster who asked me if I had seen Ruby…”
As Maya spoke, she secretly organized her thoughts: “At that time, I just happened to walk into the banquet venue and saw Ruby. She did go to the left, but I didn’t see with my own eyes whether she went to the viewing platform.” This was completely different from what she had said to Olivia Foster.
But there was no other way. At this moment, she had to say this.
She couldn’t let Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory be on guard against her or have a sense of estrangement in their hearts..
