Rory stared at Denise for a while and then looked away. “You can go home.”
He needed time to think.
What Becky said made him speechless.
He never knew that he was a shameless person. Just as his father said, Rory was cold-blooded and cruel. He treated everyone the same and made no exceptions.
He had done a lot of horrible things, but it was the first time he felt sorry for someone.
It never crossed his mind if he had hurt others or if they would ever forgive him. Other people’s feelings weren’t important to him. All he cared about was his own happiness.
He had always been like this.
It was different now. When Becky didn’t accept his apology, he felt disappointed deep down.
Disappointment.
He rarely felt that.
Moreover, what Becky said made his heart ache.
When Denise heard his reply, she let out a sigh of relief. She then quickly grabbed her purse and ran off. As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw a waiter pushing a dining cart.
Denise was stunned. She saw the stacks of boxes and suddenly remembered that those boxes were filled with dishes that Becky ordered.
In that moment, she wanted to throw away all the packaged food just so she could piss off Becky.
But before she could even decide what to do with it, the waiter had already pushed the dining cart inside the room.
Denise remembered that Rory was still inside the room and came back to her senses. She then walked towards the stairs and never looked back.
As soon as she reached the stairway, she ran into Becky, who had just left.
Now that she knew that Rory loved Becky, she didn’t dare try and insult her.
Becky wasn’t the same person that she and Babette could find fault with. She was the daughter of the richest man in Bluepond and was now the woman that Rory loved. So Denise could no longer insult her.
