Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 217
Divorce Has Never Felt This Good
Carlee wanted to say something else but thought better of it when Devin pleaded with her. âOkay,â she said. âIâll ask someone to delete it now.â
How did a smart man like Devin act so foolishly after he met Becky?
Carlee wanted to record the call and play it later for Becky.
It was unbelievable to Carlee that Devin, a man who was usually dignified and unresponsive to others, could now call and beg her for anything. After the call ended, Carlee talked to her secretary and asked the woman to delete the news.
The popular Twitter news search about Devinâs girlfriend had only been active for two and a half hours before being deleted inexplicably.
Many people did not get to see the face of Devinâs new girlfriend. It was widely believed that the pursuit of Becky had just been a meaningless display for Devin, and his true love was this new girlfriend. It certainly seemed so with how much he had done to protect her.
Carlee couldnât help but feel some guilt over Devin when she read the comments online. Even though she and Nolan were not on speaking terms, she still called him for help right away.
It also angered Jessie to see the search online. She had wanted to send the screenshots to Becky, but she knew it would only make her friend upset.
Louisa encouraged Jessie not to get too involved. âEven if Devin is a jerk, we donât have a reason to blame him for what he did.
Becky doesnât either.â
Jessie was about ready to start cursing at Devin, but what Louisa told her made her pause. âI guess youâre right,â she said instead.
Becky had never accepted Devin anyway. He had only pursued her. The best thing Becky could do was to pretend like it didnât bother her.
If Becky tried to cause any trouble, people would only say she was a bitch who neither accepted Devin nor allowed him to chase another woman.
Becky put it out of her mind instead and ignored the fact that the popular search mentioned her name. She didnât care.
Stevie, Beckyâs father, was not so nonchalant about the whole thing. His daughterâs feelings had been severely disturbed by Rory before, and now this new scumbag, Devin, hurt her too.
It made Stevie extremely angry to think that Devin had been chasing his daughter and now he suddenly had a new girlfriend. He called Devinâs father in a fit of rage.
The Stanley family was also big, just like the Ramos family, so their paths had crossed in the business world in the past. Even though Devinâs father, Webster Stanley, had not been in business for years, he and Stevie remained friends.
Webster knew how deeply Stevie loved his daughter. The man had been traveling abroad with his wife when Stevie told him on the phone what Devin did to Becky. Webster exploded in anger. âThat jerk! Donât worry, Stevie. Iâm going to return home right now and make him apologize on his knees to Becky!â
Websterâs response made Stevie feel a little better. For three whole years, the Casper family had done nothing but bully Becky.
On the other hand, Webster didnât defend his son.
As Stevie began to calm down, his attitude softened a bit. He was better able to explain the situation. âThey should be free to love who they want. As parents, we should stay out of it, but it looks shameful that Devin chased after Becky just days ago and then suddenly has a new girlfriend. People who know what happened may not make a big deal out of it, but strangers will ridicule them. It is all over the Internet about the humiliation Becky is suffering at the hands of Devin. I am not unreasonable, Webster, but Becky is my only daughter. Devin wronged her this time. Donât you think so?â
Websterâs attitude remained angry. âDonât say that. It is Devinâs fault, and I will make sure we clear all of this up to your satisfaction. Donât worry about it, Stevie. Iâm going to hang up right now and call Devin. Iâm going to demand that he apologize to Becky!â
Webster was a decisive man.
The phone suddenly went dead as he hung up.
