Becky fell asleep almost immediately after posting the tweet the previous night. She knew that she was stirring up a storm on the Internet and it would be waiting for her when she woke up the next morning.
She slept peacefully throughout the night and felt much better when she woke up.
There were two missed calls on her phone. One was from her mother, the other from her assistant.
There were also a lot of unread messages, a lot of her friends asking her about what she had posted.
In the beginning, Vivien had texted her. But after an hour or so, she had seen Becky’s tweet and sent five voice messages in quick succession.
Becky smiled helplessly. Rory had pissed her off last night and she had caught a cold. This combination had made her slow to react and she had posted her thoughts on Twitter without thinking twice.
Both Stevie and Vivien had seen it. The last time they had visited the Casper family, they had been quite polite. But just a few days later, Raina had emerged to frame Becky. When Stevie had learned about this, he had turned livid with anger. He had ordered his secretary to buy him a ticket to Bluepond.
The first four of Vivien’s voice messages told Becky that they were planning to visit her that day. But they took a U-turn in the last one, asking Becky to deal with the situation herself.
Becky was surprised to hear the message.
This was not like Vivien and Stevie to leave her like this.
But it was probably a good thing that they had decided not to come. So much had happened over the past few days. The Casper family was probably a mess. If they came now, Elmore would probably not give them an explanation.
Becky sent Talia a quick reply before making her way to the bathroom.
She looked much better today, having gotten more than ten hours of sleep.
She was a little hungry.
This thought caused Becky to pick up her phone and walk out of the room. She ran into Jessie.
