Becky and Jessie were handing their invitation to the staff when they overheard what Denise and Jenifer said behind them. The two exchanged tacit glances, while Becky raised her eyebrows and did not look back.
She wanted to see how this would play out. Just how did Denise plan to ask for her phone number?
The Evans family was second only to the Casper family in Bluepond. Thus, everyone in attendance tonight was rich and noble.
As soon as Becky strode in, she saw many familiar faces. Obviously, they were also surprised to see her.
Their shock was understandable. After all, Becky was a mere nobody in their eyes. After she left the Casper family, she disappeared without a trace and was forgotten. But now, she showed up at such a high-profile banquet.
Feeling all eyes on them, Jessie couldn’t help but complain, “What gives? Why are they staring at you like you’re the first gorgeous person they’ve ever seen?”
Becky chuckled and took two glasses of juice from a waiter passing by. Handing one glass to Jessie, she smiled and said, “Perhaps because I am.”
Jessie cast Becky a sidelong glance and sighed. Although it was true that Becky could come off as a little narcissistic at times, she had the right.
Jessie snorted and rolled her eyes. “Weirdoes.”
Becky smiled and didn’t reply.
Rory and his friend, Cohen Vance, arrived at the party together, which drew everyone’s attention.
Becky was standing outside the crowd. She looked at Rory indifferently, and for the first time, she felt nothing but calm.
Beside her, Jessie sneered, “Becky, Rory is indeed handsome. No wonder all the ladies are swooning over him.”
Becky looked at Jessie and asked pointedly, “Do I look like I have poor taste in men?”
