Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 225

Becky smiled politely at Rory and Devin.

When Rory looked at her, he saw the faint indifference in her eyes. It felt like he had been stabbed in the heart with a knife.

Devin clinked his wine glass against Becky’s and said, “You look absolutely stunning tonight.”

Becky grinned and replied, “Thank you.”

Rory tightened the grip on his wine glass. It annoyed him to see Becky enjoy Devin’s compliments. He wanted to say something, but he wasn’t a sweet talker like Devin.

He ended up saying nothing.

The circle of elites was a tight-knit group with only not many members and everyone knew each other.

Many people turned their heads to Devin and Rory as they stood next to each other. The fact that Becky was in front of them made everyone more curious. The three of them naturally drew a lot of attention.

Rory was Becky’s ex-husband and Devin courted Becky.

They looked like the typical love triangle in TV shows!

No matter who Becky chose to be nice to, people would still talk and gossip about them.

After they greeted each other, Becky nodded politely and smiled. She saw Talia from the corner of her eye and thought to use her to escape the tricky situation she was in. “Talia, come over here. Please entertain the two gentlemen for me.”

After that, Becky turned to Rory and Devin. “Please excuse me. I need to entertain other guests.”

She then turned around and left.

Coincidentally, as soon as she turned around, she saw Jessie and her parents entering the hall.

How fortunate! She now had the perfect excuse to leave Devin and Rory. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

She quickly ran over to them with a glass of wine in her hand and greeted, “Hello, I’m so glad that you all could come!”

The Walker family and the Ramos family had always been on good terms. So much so, that Becky and Jessie practically grew up together and were best friends. Without a doubt, her parents would come to Stevie’s fiftieth birthday party.

“Becky, you look so beautiful!” said Lula Walker, Jessie’s mother. liked to judge people based on their appearance. She only married Hans Walker because she thought that he was handsome.

When Becky was a child, she had soft skin and a lovely face. She aged like fine wine and was now more beautiful than ever. Jessie was also pretty, but Becky’s beauty outshined hers whenever they stood next to each other.

Lula felt happy every time she saw Becky. She wished Becky was her daughter. Fortunately, Jessie and Becky had a close bond and were like sisters. It was good that Vivien treated Jessie well, too. Otherwise, Jessie might be depressed.

Lula smiled at Becky. She was quite fond of her.

Jessie was used to her mom fawning over Becky. She rolled her eyes and whined, “Mom, come on! Stop staring at Becky like some sort of pervert! People might get the wrong idea!”

Lula chuckled. “I don’t care what they think! I’m just admiring how good-looking Becky is. I feel so much better now that I’ve seen her face. I haven’t seen Becky wear an evening dress in so long. What’s wrong with me staring at her?”

Becky’s cheeks turned slightly red as she escorted Lula and Hans inside. “I’ll take you upstairs so that you can sit down and rest. The party hasn’t started yet.”

Lula thought that Becky must have been exhausted from all the party planning. “Oh no! Becky, it’s alright. We can find our own way upstairs. You go on ahead and greet other guests.”

She then turned to Jessie and continued, “Jessie! Don’t just stand there. Help Becky with the guests!”

Jessie frowned. “Am I really your daughter?”

“If you weren’t, you would have starved to death a long time ago!”

Lula was the one who raised Jessie. So when Lula said that, Jessie simply didn’t know what to say.

Jessie’s sad face made Becky laugh.

“What are you laughing about, Becky? Why don’t you think of a way to get rid of Rory and Devin? They are real pests!”

“Pests? You can’t be more right.” Becky nodded.

She then grabbed Jessie’s hand. “I’ll just pretend that they don’t exist! Now, don’t just stand there! Come and help me greet the guests!”
