Chapter 118


    Ding! The elevator doors opened. Rory looked over to Raina, who was standing close by, and said,


    “You may leave now.”


    He continued standing in the elevator after making that statement.


    Raina looked at Rory and asked, “Rory, the hotel is surrounded by reporters. I think you should


    come in and have a seat.”


    “No, I’m good. Feel free to go.”


    Rory stretched out and hit the open button as the elevator doors were about to shut.


    Once again, Raina caught a glimpse of his icy face. She was at a loss for words, and she walked


    hesitantly out of the elevator.


    The elevator doors started to shut as soon as she stepped out.


    Raina whirled around to see the doors as they closed behind her. Rory was lost in thought, and he


    didn’t look over at her once.


    The softness on Raina’s face was gone as soon as the elevator doors closed. A hint of resentment


    flickered over her face.


    Rory’s reaction to her return was quite different from what she had anticipated.


    Raina returned to her room, clenching her teeth. Babette, seeing that she had opened the door,


    rushed forward to inquire, “Raina, how are things? Is it true that Rory has feelings for Becky?”


    A frown formed on Raina’s face at the sound of Babette’s words. Raina’s lips grew white because


    she pursed her lips for too long. “In my opinion, it is not the case. There were many reporters


    outside the hotel. Becky must have invited them over.”


    Babette was taken aback, but she quickly recovered and beganughing. “Isn’t that favorable to


    you? It appears like Rory has no intention of taking you to meet his family, even though you’ve been


    back for some time. His family will soon know you’re back thanks to Becky. We don’t need to try and


    let Elmore learn of your return.”


    It was a positive development. Even though Raina nodded, she still looked a little worried. “Is he in


    love with Becky?”


    “That can’t be true. Why would they divorce if he loved her? Stop being so insecure! Men don’t like


    women like Becky. She’s just too headstrong and determined. You saved Rory’s life. When your


    sickness worsened these years, he would go abroad and check on you. So long as he keeps


    thinking about how you saved his life, he won’t leave you alone. Men might be far crueler than


    women, but they were more soft-hearted than women sometimes.


    As a man, Rory fit that description. Since Raina had previously rescued him, he felt nothing but


    gratitude for her. Over time, he woulde to appreciate her kindness, and he would eventually fall


    in love with her.


    That was something Babette thought her little sister could pull off, at least. So many women had


    pursued Rory for so long, yet her sister was the only one who could stay by his side.

    It was only a matter of time before the general public learned of her existence.


    Losing face was a terrible thing in Elmore’s eyes. Maybe he would just ask Rory to marry Raina to


    avoid their family bing theughingstock of the city.


    But there was always the possibility of a different oue. Life was a game of chance. One


    couldn’t find out new things without taking any risks.


    That Babette was correct was obvious to Raina.


    Rory didn’t refuse her back then because she pretended that she was unworldly, unimpressed by


    power or money.


    Rory thought she was different from other women.
