Chapter 296Chapter 296 Don’t Make The Same Mistake
*As much as she tried to, Becky couldn’t hold back the tears thatthreatened to fall out. She was not a
sentimental person. She seldom cried sincechildhood. Even after her divorce from Rory, Becky didn’t
shed a single tear.How did Devin succeed in making her cry with just a few words?’The way Rory and
his family treated her during the three yearsshe was married to him robbed her of her self-confidence
evenlong after the marriage was over. She had never been able to figure out where she had done
wrongfor Rory, a warm and kind-hearted young man, to treat her soindifferently and show her no sign
of affection throughout theirthree years of marriage. So when Rory confessed to loving her last night,
she wassurprised and confused. She had loved Rory all through her youth, but after whathappened
between them, she regained her senses and was nolonger the love-sick puppy she used to be. She
was so vulnerablethat she got drunk and broke down last night. She was confused, yes, but she wasn’t
going to make the samemistake twice. As the adage said, once bitten twice shy. She had made a
horrible mistake all those years ago. She had brought that suffering upon herself, and then endured it
forthree whole years. If she went back with Rory now, it would mean she didn’t loveher life. Suddenly, a
plane flew by, the noise pulling Becky out of herthoughts. She sighed, wiped away her tears, and folded
the note.This was one of the best gifts she had received, and she wasgoing to treasure it. Love wasn’t
the only thing that life rotated around. There wasalso career and family to think about.. While she was
drunk last night, Becky had a lot of conflictingthoughts in her mind. She chose to believe that it was
thealcohol talking, because now that she was sober, she knewexactly what she wanted, and Rory
wasn’t in the picture. She had other important and big projects to focus on. Rory’s lateand ridiculous
love wasn’t going to do her much good. All shecould rely on right now was money. *When they
completed these projects, Fairway Group would beearning millions of dollars more every day.

outside the office.. “Come in, Talia,” Becky said. Talia walked in and placed something on the table.
“This is thevideo of Betsy that was recorded that night.”. Becky nodded in appreciation. She likedhaving something on people. Just in case of anything, she had asked Talia to installsurveillance
cameras in the hotel room that day. “Keep it well for now. We might need it one day,” Becky said to
Talia. She wasn’t interested in prying into other people’s sex life.With a curt nod, Talia took back the U
disk, but she didn’t leaveimmediately. After hesitating for a while, she said, “There is onemore thing.”
Becky couldn’t help but laugh at Talia’s hesitation. It wasuncharacteristic of her to look so reluctant to
say or dosomething. “What’s wrong, Talia? Just say whatever you want tosay and stop hovering.” Talia
shook her head. She didn’t know how to express it. “Well… Theard that Elmore went to Bluepond. He’s
prepared gifts and isgoing to visit your parents.” “Really? He can do whatever he wants. My parents will

frown as she thought of the annoying old man. She didn’t know how she was going to do it, but she
