To the Love of My Life-Chapter 424 - : The Agreed Upon Indifference (4)

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: The Agreed Upon Indifference (4)

The waiter caught Maya Mitchell’s gaze, nodded slightly, and then walked towards her and Ruby Gregory.

“Misses, would you like something to drink?”

Ruby’s thoughts were all on Steve Burton and the woman, completely unaware of her surroundings. Only Maya smiled politely and said, “Two glasses of orange juice, thank you.”

Behind each sofa in the lounge area, there was a floor stand with heavy ceramics on it.

As Maya finished speaking, the waiter respectfully said “okay”, and when he turned to leave to get the orange juice, took advantage of everyone’s inattention and quickly kicked the floor stand behind Ruby.

The floor stand, made of solid wood, merely swayed slightly from the waiter’s kick. The ceramic piece on it, however, suddenly slipped off and fell straight for Ruby’s head.

The moment the waiter turned, Maya’s eyes were fixed on the shelf behind Ruby’s head.

The ceramic on the stand had been tampered with by Maya, who had placed a round glass bead under it. It seemed to be static, but as long as someone gently bumped the stand, the ceramic would roll off and fall.

The Grand Capital Hotel was a first-class hotel in the entire Ciawell and had all its furnishings of great value. This ceramic was made of jade, which had a weight to it. With the floor stand being two meters high, the force of the falling ceramic was extraordinary.

Maya clenched her fist secretly, and the moment she saw the ceramics on the stand begin to wobble, she immediately turned her head and shouted, “Ruby, watch out!”

Ruby had no idea what was happening, but when she heard Maya’s cry, she turned her head in a daze. However, before she could see what was going on, she was heavily pressed down by Maya.

Then, Ruby heard a muffled moan from Maya, followed by the sound of the object hitting the ground and smashing.

Ruby had no idea what had happened, and when she struggled to reach out to push Maya away, she touched something wet and sticky, accompanied by a pungent smell.

Ruby’s body stiffened, and she completely came to her senses. She grabbed Maya’s shoulder in panic, sat up, and saw Maya with her eyes closed, unconscious.

Viscous blood was flowing down from her head.

The pale face was covered in bright red blood, looking shockingly horrifying.

The originally bustling but harmonious banquet became somewhat chaotic for a moment, and many people quickly gathered around Maya and Ruby’s direction.

“What on earth happened?”

“There’s so much blood, call an ambulance quickly.”

“Oh my god, it seems like the ceramic from the stand fell.” frёeωebɳovel.com

With the whispers of the surrounding people, Maya was carried out of the banquet hall in a hurry.

Immediately afterward, the pale-faced Ruby fell into a warm embrace, not having recovered her senses, she heard Steve Burton’s slightly trembling voice in her ear, “Ruby, are you hurt anywhere?”
