Chapter 239: Making Money Is More Important
The analysis swayed public opinion in Devin's favor, so much so that many people were urging Becky to stay away from Rory.
This made Elmore furious.He got so angry that his blood pressure spiked.
"What the hell are they talking about? Are they saying that Rory doesn't deserve Becky? That's ridiculous!"
Sitting before him, Carl didn't know what exactly to say to calm Elmore.
After thinking for a while, he finally came up with something to tell him.
"They don't know the truth.All their opinions are based on theories and conjectures.You don't have to take them too seriously.”
"Ignorant people!"
Elmore snorted angrily.It was not until 9 p.m.that Becky learned about it.
She and Jessie had just gotten off the plane.
As soon as Jessie went online, the first thing she saw was a message sent to her by Louisa.
The message contained a screenshot of what was apparently the most trending topic online at the moment.
After reading it, Jessie smiled.She decided to show it to Becky immediately.
"Becky, look.Rory and Devin are fighting on social media.lt's really interesting.”
Becky took the phone from her and read the contents of the screenshot.
Then she hissed and handed it back to her.
"Whatever," she said dismissively.
All Becky wanted to do was make money.
She had no time to get involved in these little irrelevant things.
Jessie wanted to talk about the issue, but when she noticed Becky's nonchalant attitude toward the matter, she only chuckled and kept her opinion to herself.She had gotten a lot of presents from Becky's mother today.
For the sake of those bags and clothes, she would be a sweet and considerate bestie, at least for now.
"Exactly, girl Who cares about these irrelevant things? Making money is much more important,” she said in support of her friend.
Hearing Jessie say this, Becky glanced at her and shook her head with a knowing smile.She knew that what Jessie thought was very different from what she had just said, but she would just let it rest.
Since it was so late in the evening, Becky didn't call Talia to pick them up.
Instead, they hailed a taxi.
There were still a lot of cars on the road.
Becky and Jessie had only traveled a few hundred meters when their taxi suddenly had an accident. Becky saw quietly, her eyes closed as she tried to get some rest while Jessie was chatting with Louisa on his phone, gossiping about Rory's and Devin's apologies.
All of a sudden, there was a loud bang as their taxi crashed.
Both Becky and Jessie were knocked forward by the sudden impact.
In fact, Jessie's phone fell off her hand immediately.
For a moment, Becky felt dizzy.
When she recovered herself a little, she could hear Jessie calling her.
"Becky..."
Jessie's voice was so weak that Becky was instantly worried for her.She quickly turned to look at her. "Jessie, are you okay?"
When Becky saw that her friend was conscious and in one piece, she breathed a deep sigh of relief. Jessie had no serious injuries, except for a few bruises on her forehead
Becky quickly unfastened the seat belt for her and then unfastened her own too.
"Come, let's get out of the car first.”
The driver had sharply turned a corner and slammed on the brakes, causing the car to ram into a post on the side of the road.
Coincidentally, Jessie had been sitting on the side that had the most impact.
The window on that side was damaged instantly.
Fortunately, both Becky and Jessie had fastened their seat belts, so they didn't get badly injured. They only had minor head injuries, which meant that they needed to visit the hospital for a brain examination.
The driver, on the other hand, was badly injured because, after the crash, the car had been hit head- on by a small truck coming from the opposite direction.
The front part of the car was seriously damaged, and the driver's legs were jammed.
Seeing how bad his situation was, Becky didn't dare try to move the driver.She could only call for an ambulance and stand aside to wait along with Jessie.
The ambulance soon arrived and the three of them were taken to the hospital.
Becky and Jessie had their brains examined.
Luckily, they only suffered a slight concussion and some bruises.
After they had answered some simple questions that the police had for them, they were finally allowed to leave the hospital.
Becky called Stevie and told him that they had arrived safely.She didn't tell him about the car accident because she didn't want her parents to worry too much about her.
Becky just hung up the phone when Jessie tapped her hand.
"What's wrong? Did you injure your hand?" Becky asked in concern.
"No. Look who's here.”
Becky looked up immediately and saw Devin walking toward them.
