Payne was a professional. Within two hours, he managed to get Becky out of trouble.
Becky disguised herself in a cap, a mask, a plain T-shirt, and jeans. She went downstairs and found only a few paparazzi waiting at the door of the apartment building. She casually walked past them, and nobody noticed that it was her.
Compared to her, Babette, Rory’s sister-in-law and “new sweetheart,” was more eye-catching to the public.
Babette wasn’t expecting that she’d become the next hot topic. She had been keeping a low profile since she came back, for fear of getting on the Casper family’s radar. Despite lying low, she still got into trouble.
Look at the post that kept getting retweeted, Babette’s anxiety kept rising. Finally, she called Rory.
Rory also just heard what had happened on the Internet. His expression darkened when he saw who was calling. “What?” he barked.
“Rory, did you know what’s happening on the Internet?”
“What’re you trying to say?”
“Rory, none of it’s true! I’m not the one responsible for this post. What should I do? Should I take Raina back to the Casper family?”
Rory rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and sighed. “You don’t need to do anything. I’ll handle it.”
Hearing this, Babette finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay, great. Thanks.”
After hanging up, Rory stood inside the room for a while before finally heading downstairs.
Sure enough, Elmore was waiting for him. As soon as Rory reached the bottom of the stairs, Elmore shouted, “What the hell happened last night? Isn’t Babette supposed to be abroad? When did you let her come back? Rory, are you fucking insane? Don’t you feel humiliated enough?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the cup in his hand at Rory’s feet.
The porcelain cup was smashed into pieces. After a short while, Rory answered simply, “I’ll handle it.”
