When Maya Mitchell said this, she deliberately paused. She could tell Steve Burton's face became even darker, knowing that he must think she had spread the news about Ruby Gregory going to the observation deck. She tried to steady her emotions and appeared calm, her voice was gentle as she continued, "Later, I went straight into the banquet hall. While I was getting food, I saw Ruby going down the mountain alone from the left side of the hall through the window. Ruby once saved me, so in my heart, I always regarded her as my benefactor. I was really grateful to her. It was already dark outside, and I was afraid she would be in danger going down the mountain alone, so I called her."
As long as the matter of Ruby Gregory going to the observation deck remained unclear, Madam Burton would not stop suspecting her in her heart.
Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory must have wanted to cover up what happened last night.
