Kapitel 646: Chapter 646: Ruby Gregory's Confession (26)

"If I, from the moment of my birth, had the ability to think, to make choices, I certainly wouldn't have lived that way."

Steve Burton found Ruby Gregory's words somewhat strange. As for the fact that Ruby once desperately wanted to marry him and, in doing so, had brought prosperity to the Gregorys - he initially had no knowledge of that. It was only once when Madeleine, who had a propensity to speak her mind unfiltered, let slip half a sentence that he began to notice something peculiar. He then gradually perceived a change in Ruby and understood what Madeleine actually meant with her half-stated comment.

"Do you know, Steve? From a very young age, the Gregorys imbued me with a way of thinking that consisted of only three principles:"

Those three principles were etched deep into her bones, and even now, she could recite them, each and every word, clearly.

"The first principle: Whatever Steve likes, I must also like."

Steve's brow furrowed slightly.
