Chapter 101


    By the time Becky got home from the supermarket, the trending topics about Rory and Babette on


    Twitter hadpletely disappeared. Nothing popped up when she tried searching the keyword


    “Rory.”


    Needless to say, Rory had likely asked someone to remove anything rted to him from the list of


    trending topics.


    Jessie suggested she ask Payne to keep looking for gossip influencers to post about it again, but


    Becky refused.


    Sometimes, things were more suspicious when people tried to hide the truth rather than to exin


    it.


    Jessie was confused. “Why not?”


    Becky exined, “He’s hiding in in sight. It makes him look guiltier, don’t you think?”


    Hearing this, Jessie was stunned for a while. By the time she came to her senses, she couldn’t help


    but shake her head in awe. “Damn, Becky. You’re a fucking genius!”


    Becky smiled. “Really?”


    Wasn’t Jessie too slow? Of course, Becky didn’t say that out loud.


    Becky was right. Although Rory had removed himself from the trending topics, his move only served


    to make him look guiltier.


    Although no one could find out anything about Rory and Babette online, people from the upper


    ss of Courtbush still talked about it.


    Aiken had been Rory’s closest friend for over twenty years. When he heard those badments


    about Rory, he tried to defend his friend.


    But people who disagreed with him asked, “Did Rory and Babette have a rtionship or not?”


    Aiken didn’t know how to answer this question. All of Rory’s best friends knew that Rory did date


    Babette back in college, even though the rtionship onlysted two months. If someone attempted


    to investigate, it wouldn’t take long for them to find out.


    Aiken was speechless. He, too, was confused about Rory’s actionsst night.


    He was in no mood to party and flirt withdies. He grabbed his car keys and walked out.


    His sports car zipped through town and didn’t stop until it reached a vi.


    As soon as Aiken got out of the car, he rang the doorbell. This vi was bought the year Rory


    graduated from college. The Casper family had no idea that this vi existed, but Rory’s best friends


    did.


    Such explosive news had been released early that morning, and Aiken was pretty sure that Elmore


    was enraged. Aiken knew that Rory was probably in a bad mood, too.


    Rory tended to retreat to this vi whenever he was in a bad mood. On his way here, Aiken tried


    calling Rory several times, but thetter didn’t answer, which confirmed that he was in a bad mood.


    The doorbell rang again and again. Finally, Rory opened his eyes, picked up the remote, and


    checked the surveince monitor. When he saw Aiken’s face on the screen, his mood worsened.


    But it was clear that Aiken wasn’t going to stop ringing the doorbell until Rory opened the door.


    Rubbing his temples, Rory headed downstairs.


    “You have too much time on your hands.”

    Aiken clicked his tongue. “I knew you’d be in a bad mood, so I came to check on you.”


    Rory sneered coldly. “So are you expecting a thank you?”


    Aiken rolled his eyes at the sarcasm but followed Rory into the vi. “Are you and Babette together


    again?”


    Before Aiken could remind Rory that Babette was his sister-inw, he met Rory’s intense gaze and


    shut up.


    Aiken awkwardly scratched his head and changed the topic. “So why were you at Becky’s


    apartment buildingst night?”
