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 ss against Becky’s and said, “You look absolutely stunning tonight.”
Becky grinned and replied, “Thank you.”
Rory tightened the grip on his wine ss. It annoyed him to see Becky enjoy Devin’spliments.
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,e 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.
She quickly ran over to them with a ss of wine in her hand and greeted, “Hello, I’m so d that
you all coulde!”
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 L 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.
L 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.
L 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,e on!
Stop staring at Becky like some sort of pervert! People might get the wrong idea!”
L 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 L and Hans inside. “I’ll take you upstairs so
that you can sit down and rest. The party hasn’t started yet.”
L thought that Becky must have been exhausted from all the party nning. “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!”
L was the one who raised Jessie. So when L said that, Jessie simply didn’t know what to say.

Jessie’s sad face made Beckyugh.
“What are youughing 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!”
