Chapter 76


    As the CEO of arge and prosperouspany, Stevie had a tight schedule all day long. It had


    taken him a lot of effort to spare some time toe to Courtbush to see his precious daughter,


    Becky. Little did he know that something so unexpected would happen in his short trip.


    Stevie had to attend an important dinner the following day, so he had to leave Courtbush that night.


    Otherwise, he would’ve waited for Talia to find out who had made up the rumor about his so-called


    mistress so that he could confront them with Becky.


    But Stevie not only had an important dinner but also an important meeting the following day. He had


    no choice but to leave after dinner.


    There was apany party that same night, so Becky couldn’t send Stevie to the airport.


    Before Stevie left, he instructed Talia to tell him the second she found out who was responsible for


    the rumor.


    After bidding Becky goodbye, Stevie got in the car that had been waiting at the gate of the hotel.

    Becky got in Talia’s car and the two headed to the dinner party.


    It was still cold in Courtbush in early March, and the wind that night was a little chilly.


    Becky wore a long, dark brown strapless dress and a brown wool overcoat. When the car pulled to


    a stop at the gate of the venue, she took off her overcoat and strode inside, her ck heels clicking


    against the floor.


    All the guests at this dinner party were businessmen. So Becky wasn’t surprised to see Rory here.


    Their earlier encounter was enough for Becky to see Rory’s opinion regarding the mistress incident.


    When they met again, Becky didn’t feel too sad seeing the irony in his eyes.


    Maybe she had been disappointed in him too many times that she was used to it.


    She just nced at him indifferently and smiled. Then she walked into the hall, a flute of red wine in


    her hand.


    Her outfit tonight wasn’t that extravagant. Instead, it was simple yet elegant, drawing people’s


    attention wherever she went.


    Becky inherited her parents’ good looks. The strapless dress entuated her slender waist and


    hung just above her ankles, showing off the ssic gold anklet from the Amelia’s. Under the lights,


    the diamonds iid in the anklet were dazzling.


    Rory stood in the distance and saw Becky talking andughing with a group of men. The smile on


    her red lips made him feel inexplicably annoyed.


    Becky had yed the role of a good wife for three whole years. It hadn’t even been a full year since


    their divorce, but she could not wait to show her true face.


    It was she who had seduced him all those years ago. If it hadn’t been for that night, she wouldn’t


    even have been lucky enough to be his wife in the first ce.


    Sneering in disgust, Rory downed the wine in his ss in one go.


    Truth be told, Becky didn’t hate these kinds of profitable social activities. Moreover, she hade


    here as the manager of apany, so she went about and mingled diplomatically.


    However, the rumor about her had spread like wildfire. A famous yboy, Sean Courtenay,


    sauntered over to Becky with an obscene smile. “Miss Ramos, you look beautiful tonight.”


    Sean was even more notorious than Devin. Although Devin was also a yboy, he at least had


    some semnce of ethics.


    However, Sean was different. When he liked a woman, he stuck to her like glue.


    Becky smiled and answered perfunctorily, “Thank you, Mr. Courtenay. My friend’s over there.


    Excuse me.”


    “Hey, don’t go. I wanted to talk to you.”


    “What is it?” Becky asked warily.


    “It depends on your attitude, Miss Ramos.”


    Seeing that she didn’t leave him right away, Sean stepped closer to wrap his arm around her waist.


    However, Becky moved aside and evaded his advances. “Don’t. So many people are looking at us.


    It’s disgraceful.”


    “Interesting.” Sean’s smile widened. “I like you. You can have fun in private and look graceful in


    public. How much is it for a night with you?”


    This question was below the belt. Other people would’ve gotten angry on the spot. Becky, on the


    other hand, simply smiled. “Not too expensive. One billion’s enough.”


    Sean’s expression darkened. “Are you kidding me?”


    “What’s wrong? Can’t afford her? Too bad, because I can.”


    Before Becky could say anything, a familiar voice sounded from behind her. “I’ll pay one billion.


    She’s mine tonight.”
