Chapter 193


    For a moment, the room was extremely quiet.


    Then, Denise broke the silence by saying, “Becky, please don’t say that. You are different now. Of


    course, we wouldn’t dare treat you like before. Yes, I did it. I will take responsible for it, and I’m sure


    you’ll be satisfied with it.”


    Becky chuckled. “Well, I want to know how you are going to take responsible for it, Denise.”


    She paused and smiled sarcastically at Denise before continuing, “And how do you know that I will


    be satisfied with it?”


    Elmore cut in, “Becky, we used to be a family. Don’t be so ruthless to us. It is Denise’s fault, yes.


    What do you want us to do so that you can forgive her? I’ll make Denise do it. Besides, if you…”


    Elmore stopped abruptly, his gaze locking with Becky’s. He wanted to say, “If you keep making


    trouble like this, Rory will hate you.” But on second thought, he said, “You are a Ramos. If our


    families fight each other, everyone will treat us like a joke.”


    Elmore did make some sense.


    Becky didn’t want to continue their quarrel. The purpose of her inviting Elmore to dinner tonight was


    to solve the problem, not quarrel with them.


    But Denise had gone too far. Becky had to give Elmore a stern warning to keep Denise in check.


    Becky said seriously, “You are right, Mr. Casper. I asked you to dinner today to deal with this in the


    most appropriate way. The Inte is full of rumors about me. I’ve be the other woman in


    people’s eyes, which is the most malicious attack that can be made on a woman. This is not the first


    time that Denise has done such a thing. I don’t want to hear her apology. All I want is for her to


    rify everything. I don’t care what method she will use. I only have two requests. First, rify that I


    didn’t interfere in Rory and Raina’s rtionship. Second, rify that theic book wasn’t created


    by me and keep the information of the author a secret.”


    Becky looked at Elmore and added, “Mr. Casper, I don’t think my requests are too much, are they?”


    After what had happened, it was appropriate for Becky to make such requests.


    Elmore had no reason to me Becky. He looked at her and made a solemn promise. “Don’t worry.


    We will meet your requirements.”


    “You are right. If we continue to quarrel, people willugh at us. We don’t have to be theughing


    stock. As long as Denise does everything I asked for, I promise everything will be settled.”


    As she spoke, Becky tore the photos into pieces.


    Elmore nodded, satisfied. “You are a straightforward person. It’s a pity that you and Rory are not


    fated to be together.”


    Becky smiled but didn’t say a word. The tension in the air was no longer there, and everything was


    peaceful.


    Elmore couldn’t sit still any longer. He got up and left, Denise in tow.


    Becky watched their retreating backs and said, “I don’t know if this old man is willing to keep Denise


    in check.”


    Talia smiled. “I think Elmore is furious. Denise will suffer when they return home.”


    Becky’s eyebrows shot up at this. “You’re right. He has always been sensitive about his reputation.


    That’s why he chose to defend Denise. But things will be different once he goes back home.”

    She wondered if Denise would be able to walk the next day.


    The floor was cold at this time of the year. Denise’s knees would hurt if she had to kneel for a long


    time.
