Becky wasn’t sure if Devin was indeed the man from that night four years ago.
But she was sure that Rory was a despicable man.
Early in the morning, Becky found that she had several missed calls from Jessie. She figured that Jessie had already found out the truth. As she called her friend back, she couldn’t help but mutter to herself that Payne was quite efficient.
However, when the call connected, the first thing Jessie asked was, “Becky, are you still at home?”
Today was Sunday, and Becky was planning to go to the gym.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why? What’s wrong? Someone blocked my door?”
“You just woke up? You mean you didn’t see the messages I sent you?”
Becky pursed her lips. She just couldn’t understand what Jessie was trying to say.
So she put the call on loudspeaker and then logged into her account, only to find that she had a barrage of messages from countless people.
More than twenty of the messages were from Jessie. Becky tapped on their chat and immediately saw the screenshot Jessie had sent her: a headline of the entertainment news. She now understood what Jessie meant.
Last night, Rory went to a hotel with his new girlfriend. He didn’t leave until two o’clock in the morning. Unbeknownst to him, he and his girl were photographed.
“Oh, I see…” A cold smile tugged at the corners of Becky’s lips.
On the other end of the line, Jessie, who had been holding back her anger for several hours now, finally exploded. “That fucking bastard! He just never does anything right! You divorced him months ago. It doesn’t matter who he’s dating, but why the hell would he go to your apartment after fucking his new girlfriend?”
Even Becky was confused by Rory’s strange behavior. Shrugging indifferently, she mused, “Maybe he’s nuts.”
Becky saw the screenshot Jessie had sent her, and she felt ironic.
