Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 221

Rory paused for a moment. But he didn’t turn around to look at Devin’s face to check if he was being serious.

Rory and Devin had been opponents for so many years, so they knew each other quite well. If he were to turn around and see the expression on Devin’s face, he would know Devin meant what he said.

But he resisted the temptation to turn around.

Instead, Rory resumed walking and left the hotel as fast as he could. Frankly, even he could not explain to himself why he didn’t turn around to look at Devin. He just had the gut feeling that he shouldn’t. And he followed his gut without thinking twice.

It was night. The lights in Bluepond were bright and could be seen from afar. And there were quite a number of people milling around too.

When he finally brought his car to a halt, Rory looked around and found that he was in the suburbs. He had not intended to come here, but now that he was here, it didn’t look so bad.

The environment was very quiet. There were no sounds, except that of other cars driving past him on the road.

It was already dark, so Rory simply decided to drive over to an open space in front of a small restaurant nearby. Then he rolled down the windows, put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it.

As the smoke swirled, the words of Becky and Devin intertwined, and Rory suddenly became panic.

But the feeling of restlessness did not last long. When he finished smoking, his mind became calm and everything returned to normal.

He could see now that seeing troubles where there were none was the most stupid and unnecessary thing anyone could do.

After getting rid of the cigarette butt, Rory started his car and left the suburbs, heading straight back to the city.

The online frenzy concerning Devin’s new girlfriend had died down by now, but not before it spread among the upper class like wildfire. Prior to this, the fact that Devin was chasing Becky had been the main topic of discussion. Though he tried his best to keep a low profile, it was still clear to them that Devin had not given up on chasing Betty.

But now, Devin got himself a new girlfriend.

This latest news was more interesting to them than anything else.

When Elmore first got wind of this news, he did not feel very happy. For a long time, he had been prejudiced against Becky. As a result, he was unwilling to let her marry into the Casper family. After Becky divorced Rory, his opinion of her still didn’t change, not one bit. Instead, he felt she had been very troublesome.

Now that Raina had come into the picture, she was supposed to be a breath of fresh air, but instead, as far as he was concerned, she was much worse than Becky.

To let Raina take the fall for Denise’s scandal, Elmore had promised her that she would be able to marry Rory, provided she could have a child for him.

Now, Elmore couldn’t help but regret his decision. Raina and Babette were a pair of scheming and evil creatures, and the fact that they were from a poor, little-known family annoyed him even more.

Recently, there had been some peace. Raina and Babette seemed to have taken a break from troublemaking, but Elmore was still very worried. Who knew what new evil actions Raina could be

planning? To be safe, he felt it was important to get Rory and Becky to remarry as quickly as possible.

Now that Devin’s new love affair was out in the open, Elmore saw it as a golden opportunity that should be seized immediately.

With this in mind, he gave Carl a sharp glance and ordered, “Call Rory and ask him to come for dinner this evening.”

Carl nodded and hurried off to go place the call. Rory’s secretary, Lowell, was the one who received the call, and Carl passed the message to him.

After getting the message from Carl, Lowell hung up and went over to Rory’s office to inform him of what he had just been told. In response, Rory looked at him with a frown. It was a while before he spoke. “Okay.” That was all he said.

Lowell nodded and left the office.

At about 6 p.m., Rory drove back to his grandfather’s.

Anytime he came here, it was never for a good reason. In the past, Denise and others would report to him the latest list of “bad things” Becky had done to put the good name of the Casper family in jeopardy. Now that he was divorced, he didn’t know what he would hear this time.

Rory pursed his lips as he tried to imagine what he would encounter.

He had just parked his car and was about to step out when he heard the butler calling his attention.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
