Chapter 197


    Denise ended the call but didn’t have the strength to change her clothes.


    Elmore ordered her to wear a nice and fancy dress for dinner with Becky today. So she wore a very


    ladylike dress.


    Since Elmore asked her to change her clothes, it meant that he was going to punish her, maybe


    even whip her.


    As far as Denise could remember, Elmore had been this angry three times in total. The first time


    was when Leon wanted to divorce Jenifer and marry a woman of ill repute. The second time was


    the night when they thought Babette had a miscarriage because of Becky.


    There was a downpour thest time Becky knelt as a punishment. She knelt there the whole night.


    If she hadn’t left the next day, Elmore would have continued to punish her.


    After Leon was punished, he could barely walk and his body was drenched in blood. Even though


    he wasn’t injured seriously, it was still an extremely painful punishment.


    At that time, Denise was only eight years old. She followed Jenifer to check up on Leon and


    remembered how she saw him sobbing.


    The sight of it scared her.


    Denise wanted to stall for some time till Jenifer came home, but Elmore wasn’t going to let her go


    that easily. Carl waited for five minutes and figured that she had no ns oning out. With a


    sigh, he knocked on her door. “It’s been seven minutes. If you don’te out of the room, we’ll be


    late. You should know that your grandpa won’t show you mercy regardless if your mother is there.”


    Denise froze for a few seconds. She realized that there was no point in stalling the inevitable. She


    then propped herself up and held the door. “Carl, I’m just finishing up!”


    She wiped away her tears and ran to the closet to change her clothes.


    Carl was right. Her grandfather was so furious that he was quiet the whole ride back. Now that he


    sent Carl over to monitor her, her tardiness would send him into a fit of rage.


    Even though she was scared, she knew that there was no escaping the punishment tonight. All she


    could do was hope that Jenifer got back in time to plead for her so that Elmore would show her


    mercy.


    After Carl reminded Denise, she quickly changed her clothes. She wept as she followed him to the


    living room.


    Once they got there, a teacup flung in Denise’s direction andnded on her feet. It shattered into


    several pieces as Elmore shouted, “Kneel!”

    Denise’s body trembled but did as she was told. “Grandpa, I know that what I did was wrong.”


    Her eyes had grown red and puffy from her constant crying. Elmore’s shout made her too terrified to


    speak.


    Suddenly, a ck Maybach stopped outside the Casper family’s residence. The car doors swung


    open and Rory got out.


    The butler was surprised to see him there.


    “Where is Denise?” Rory got straight to the point.


    The butler was shocked and pointed at the vi. “She’s in the living room with Mr. Casper.”


    “Okay.”


    Rory then marched straight to the vi.


    Although the butler had something else to say, he saw Rory’s gloomy face and decided to just keep


    his mouth shut.


    The sky was dark while the lights in the vi were on.


    Thest time the atmosphere was this intense was when Becky was being punished.


    Rory’s face darkened when he remembered that night. He then quickened his pace.
