Chapter 159


    Becky had turned Elmore’s invitation down. News of Raina’s suicide and Becky’s tweet were now


    forever on the Inte and a lot of people were keeping track of it. With each passing day, more and


    more people joined the hordesughing at the Casper family.


    Rory didn’t do anything. It was obvious that he no longer cared about the Casper family’s reputation.


    But Elmore couldn’t behave like Rory.


    In his eyes, the Morgan sisters were at fault.


    If Babette hadn’t wronged Becky, Becky wouldn’t have divorced Rory. Now Babette and her sister


    were making so much trouble, as if they thought of the Casper family as a massive joke.


    Elmore calmed himself down because he knew that it would take time for Rory and Becky to get


    back together. But he also knew that as long as the Morgan sisters were still in the city, the Casper


    family would be aughing stock.


    This thought pushed him into asking Carl to drive him to the hospital where Raina was admitted.


    Babette returned from her visit to Becky in low spirits. She hadn’t gotten anything but Becky had


    caught her trick.


    And now, more and more people were talking about Raina lying and framing Becky on the Inte.


    Babette had married into the Casper family five years ago and she knew, with everything she had,


    that Elmore hated losing face. If this continued, the possibility of Raina marrying into the Casper


    family would be even slimmer.


    Babette did indeed know Elmore well because Elmore came to her, Carl in tow.


    The sight of him stunned her, but Babette recovered soon enough. “Grandpa? What are you doing


    here?”

    Elmore spared her a cold nce and said, “Don’t call me Grandpa. You don’t deserve it.”


    Babette’s smile froze. She looked at Raina’s prostrate form on the hospital bed and said as way of


    introduction, “Raina, this is Mr. Casper.”


    “d to see you, Mr. Casper,” Raina said, trying to sit up and wincing, as if she were in great pain.


    Elmore had seen a lot of such tricks as a young man.


    He was now old and experienced, and didn’t even blink at Raina’s acting. “I’m not a stranger.


    There’s no need to act in front of me.”


    Raina’s expression shifted at his words.


    Babette had been a part of the Casper family for five years now. She knew that there was a lot more


    to Elmore’s purpose today, judging from his behavior.


    Babette was nervous, but she didn’t dare show it. She pretended not to understand anything. “Rory


    said that you were sent to the hospitalst night. Raina is fine now. She just couldn’t ept the


    truth and ended up doing something stupid.”


    Elmore waved a dismissive hand as he said, “You don’t need to say that to me. You’re right. I was


    sent to the hospitalst night and haven’t recovered yet, so I don’t want to beat around the bush.


    Let’s cut to the chase. My purpose foring here today is very simple. If you’re so smart, you


    should have guessed why I’m here.”


    He paused, ncing at Babette before finally looking at Raina. “We made a deal that only one of


    you could marry into our family. I’m old now, but I don’t have Alzheimer’s disease yet. I still


    remember what we agreed upon. How could you both have a worse memory than me, given your


    age? All you want is to marry Rory, isn’t it? Let me make this clear. You have no chance of marrying


    into the Casper family unless I am dead.”


    Elmore turned to look at Carl, who, at the gesture, ced a bank card on the table.


    Elmore said to Babette, “You are a smart woman. There are fifty million dors on the card, which


    will be enough for your sister to live on for a long period of time. You should know what you can and


    can’t do. If you ept the money, the Casper family will still recognize you as one of us.”


    Elmore got up and left without giving the sisters a chance to speak.
