Becky stared at the leather seat before her for a long while, stunned. When she came to herself, she asked, “Babette has a younger sister?”
She didn’t know anything about it.
Talia had only just learned that Babette had a younger sister. So she took it upon herself to make a little introduction about Raina to Becky. “Five years ago, Raina met with an accident and was in a vegetative state. She was taken abroad for treatment.”
“Does this accident have anything to do with Rory?” Becky asked.
Talia hesitated at Becky’s question since she wasn’t sure if Becky still loved Rory.
Becky smiled at Talia’s hesitation and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you think I still love Rory?”
Talia was embarrassed that Becky knew what was on her mind. “I hope you don’t.”
“Don’t worry,” Becky said, smiling, “I won’t get back together with him.”
Becky wouldn’t indulge in the past.
Talia nodded before recounting the whole story. “Six years ago, Leon…”
Leon had a mistress. She asked Leon to divorce Jenifer and marry her. There was no doubt that he refused. His two sons were old enough to get married. And his interest in that woman was temporary.
Leon paid her a fat sum of money to keep her from pestering him.
The woman kept her word. Later, Crowbar Technologies and Brice Technologies were competing for a project. The people at Brice Technologies, having learned of Leon’s mistress, paid her some money and asked her to make trouble for Leon.
Talia’s face paled before she continued to narrate the most important part. “Back then, Rory and Raina were dating while Babette and Amor were in a relationship. After that accident, Raina’s parents asked Rory to marry her. But Elmore disagreed, saying that only one of the two sisters could marry into the Casper family.”
“That explains it,” Becky sneered.
No wonder Rory hadn’t been intimate with Becky in their marriage. What a deep, touching love!
If Amor hadn’t been in a relationship with Babette, Rory would have married Raina, who was paralyzed back then.
Although that hadn’t happened, Rory had kept his integrity by marrying Becky, which was also a way to stop Elmore from getting on his case.
This was undoubtedly a love for the ages.
