Chapter 9 Who Do You Think You Are

When Becky returned to Jessie's apartment, the latter looked at her and asked excitedly, "How did it go? Are you divorced yet?"

She was anxiously looking forward to their divorce. The whole morning, the fear that Becky might not push through with the divorce kept gnawing at her.

Seeing Jessie like this, Becky couldn't help but laugh. "Well, I just need to wait for the judge to finalize the divorce."

Jessie almost burst into tears when she heard that. "Oh, my God! I'm so happy for you! You will soon be a single lady! We have to celebrate. Do you want to go out and have fun tonight?"

Unexpectedly, Becky shook her head. "Nope. I haven't been home in three years. I miss my family."

As she spoke, Becky felt a lump forming in her throat.

Three whole years had passed since she last saw her parents.

Now that everything with Rory was over, there was no need for her to stay in Courtbush.

But before leaving, she had to ask Jessie about the so-called "gift" she had prepared for Babette. "It's time to release the video I sent you."

After all, Rory asked her to apologize to Babette.

Becky was going to apologize. She was sure that Babette would be stunned with her apology.

Jessie's eyes immediately lit up. "Finally! I've been waiting for your go-signal! I've arranged everything already. Just one phone call and the video will become the next Internet sensation!"

Becky nodded with satisfaction. "Great! I'm going to pack up my things. My flight is at three o'clock. How about we have lunch together?"

Hearing this, Jessie realized something. "You're not coming back?"

"Why should I? My home is in Bluepond."

Jessie pursed her lips. Ever since Becky figured out that her marriage wasn't working for her, she had become too decisive and brave. Now, Jessie didn't want to stay in Courtbush either.

"Wait for me, okay? I'll just smooth things out at the studio and go back to Bluepond in a few months!"

Becky was stunned. After a while, she said apologetically, "But it wasn't easy for your studio to become what it is today."

"Well, I wasn't making much money from it. I don't want to work here anymore!"

Both Jessie and Becky were born into rich families. Even if they spent a fortune every day for the rest of their lives, they would never be able to use up their wealth. The sole reason why Jessie had opened a studio in Courtbush was to reassure Becky that she hadn't just come here for her, so that Becky would not feel guilty.

Hearing this from Jessie, Becky was moved. She whispered softly, "Okay."

After lunch, Jessie took Becky to the airport. The plane took off at precisely three o'clock in the afternoon. At the same time, several influential marketing accounts released a video on the Internet.

The video depicted the moment Becky supposedly pushed Babette into the swimming pool on the night of Elmore's birthday party.

However, the video clearly showed that Becky didn't push Babette. It turned out that Babette jumped into the pool herself and even dragged Becky down with her.

That night, only Becky and Babette were next to the swimming pool. The conversation between the two women in the video was clear.

"Becky, just who do you think you are? Are you really stupid enough to think that Rory loves you? Dream on! He only married you to make his family feel at ease. Becky, if I fall into this pool and kill the baby, what do you think Rory will do? Oh, I can't wait to see his reaction! You'll be kicked out of the family!"

Not long after the controversial video was released, audio recordings of Babette making things difficult for Becky were also released.

"Becky, quit dreaming! Rory will never love you."

"Becky, let me tell you the truth. Rory loves me, not you. Fight me and you're doomed!"

"Nobody cares whether you did it or not. As long as I say it was you who did it, they will believe me! Are you angry? Too bad. You can't touch me. You didn't deserve to marry into this family in the first place. Who do you think you are? You only disgrace this family."

As soon as the video and the audio recordings were released, they went viral on the Internet. The news that Babette's child was gone had already caused a huge sensation. Now the situation suddenly reversed. The entire city was shocked.
