Chapter 477: What do I mean to you? (7)


    In the end, only Madeleine’s cries echoed throughout the room.


    Ruby Gregory didn’t disturb Madeleine, she just sat quietly beside her.


    Madeleine cried for a long time, as if trying to exhaust all the sadness and grievances in her heart, only stopping when she lifted her head from her hands.


    Ruby reached out for a tissue and handed it to Madeleine.


    Madeleine wiped her tears and looked at Ruby. Even at this moment, her tone was still rxed and teasing, “Actually, Ruby, I shouldn’t be sad, right? At least I married Howard, and he’ll be mine for the rest of his life. I made a fortune, didn’t I?”


    Ruby didn’t respond, as she didn’t know what to say.


    She only knew that sometimes, gaining something could bring more sorrow and suffering than losing it.


    Madeleine curled her lips, smiled, tidied her clothes, and drank a big gulp of water from the ss on the table. Then she turned to Ruby and asked, “What was the important matter you mentioned on the phone?”


    Ruby only then remembered her purpose foring, and her expression became slightly stiff. After a while, she said, “Madeleine, I came to borrow money from you.”


    Madeleine didn’t even ask what the money was for and simply replied, “How much?”


    Ruby pressed her lips together and said, “US$4,120,000.”<div>


    After a pause, Ruby added, “Madeleine, this is a huge amount of money, and it might take me a long time to pay you back.”


    Madeleine didn’t listen to what Ruby said afterward. After hearing the amount, she stood up, went into the bedroom, and returned with a check, saying, “Use this. We can talk about payback when you have the funds.”


    Ruby nodded her head, said “Thank you,” and took the check from Madeleine.

    Ms. Taylor was extremely cautious during the entire process of apanying Steve Burton to Mr. Kent’s dinner party. She was afraid that one wrong move might touch a nerve and get her in trouble.


    However, to her astonishment, Steve was the same reserved, aloof person he had always been from the moment they left Pristine’s Enterprises until the end of the dinner party. There was no sign of the man who had angrily destroyed his office earlier.


    The dinner partysted until three o’clock before it ended. Steve had some alcohol, but not much. He appeared tired.


    On the way back to thepany, Ms. Taylor drove while Steve sat directly behind her. She kept ncing at him through the rearview mirror.


    Just before they arrived at thepany, Steve suddenly spoke, “The office is probably not cleaned up yet, right?”


    Considering the damage, it was impossible for it to be cleaned up so quickly. Ms. Taylor thought to herself, but still respectfully nodded and replied, “Yes.”


    “Is there anything important happening at thepany this afternoon?”


    “There is a meeting with Mr. Woods, Mr. Henris, Mr. Coleman, and Ms. Madeleine, but today Mr. Coleman and Ms. Madeleine are not in thepany, so only Mr. Woods and Mr. Henris are left…” Ms. Taylor nced at Steve, suggesting, “Do you want to reschedule the meeting for tomorrow?”
