Burn Me Once Burn With Me (Ruby Grayson) novel Chapter 644

Without waiting for a response, she rushed into the living room and brought out a small pile of gifts from the coffee table.

“Grandma, I picked out all this jewelry especially for you. I know you’ll love it!”

She spoke with great enthusiasm, her cheerful demeanor like that of a clever kitten. But Ruby saw a flash of provocation in her cat-like eyes.

Ruby glanced at the various jewelry boxes on the table. Unsurprisingly, they were all the pieces Monica Ashley had snatched from her at the mall.

She could sense Monica Ashley’s hostility towards her, which seemed even stronger than it had been at the mall.

It was strange, though. From the moment she had arrived, she noticed Monica frequently stealing glances at Cassian, her eyes full of a young girl’s hopeful crush every time she looked away.

She likes Cassian.

So even though Ruby was already divorced from him, she had become Monica's imagined rival.

But what about at the mall? They were strangers then.

While Ruby was puzzling over this, Monica Ashley had already eagerly opened all the jewelry boxes to show the old woman.

“Look at this ruby bracelet! See how it complements your skin tone? I haven’t seen rubies of this quality even in the boutiques in The Capital!”

“And this emerald necklace!” She held the string of beads up to the light, smiling proudly as a green glow shone through them. “This is also a high-quality piece. It suits your temperament perfectly.”

“And there’s also…”

…

Monica Ashley giddily presented each item, spreading the open jewelry boxes across a small table.
