Chapter 198


    Elmore snorted at Denise’s words. “You know you are wrong? Didn’t you say thatst time? Do you


    ever learn your lesson? Don’t you know the position that the Ramos family holds? What good will it


    do to you if we have a falling-out with them? Do you think Becky is the only person beingughed at


    after everything that has happened? People will judge our family too! Don’t you know?”


    The more Elmore spoke, the angrier he became, the veins on his forehead popping. “You are the


    youngest in our family. You have two elder brothers. I’ve never asked you to contribute anything to


    the family. All I’ve ever asked is to not cause any trouble. But what did you do? I want Rory to


    remarry Becky, but you’ve just offended her! Do you still expect a girl from a decent family to marry


    Rory after so many things have happened? And who will want to marry you after knowing what you


    did? You are such a disgrace!”


    His words were harsh. In the past, Denise would have retorted. But now, she merely knelt on the


    floor, holding her breath. She dared not say anything other than admit her mistake.


    She hadn’t expected the situation to escte as it had today.


    Denise understood how serious things had turned out because of her wilfulness at the thought of


    Becky’s aggressive attitude and Elmore’s restrained anger from an hour ago.


    Becky was no longer the ordinary girl trying to climb the socialdder they had thought. She was


    now the only daughter of the head of the Ramos family, the richest family in Bluepond. She had the


    capital and strength topete with the Casper family.

    This time, Denise’s actions irritated Becky.


    Denise might have realized the seriousness of the matter, but she also knew that it was toote.


    Noticing that Elmore was getting more agitated by the second, Carl, worried that his hypertension


    would get worse, said, “Mr. Casper, you can punish Denise for what she did. But being angry will


    cause health problems.”


    Denise took this opportunity to cry and plead with Elmore. “Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Please


    punish me. Don’t get angry.”


    Denise was his granddaughter, who he had watched grow up. Jenifer had been too soft-hearted,


    which was why, as the youngest daughter, Denise had been spoiled.


    Elmore could tell when Denise was telling the truth.


    He closed his eyes for a long time before he calmed himself down and opened them again. He


    looked at Denise and said, “It doesn’t matter if you know you were wrong or not. I’ve told you over


    and over again but you never listened to me. I don’t want to tell you anything anymore. Now, it’s


    time to teach you a lesson.”


    Elmore then looked at a servant beside him and said, “Kenny, take a whip. Whip Denise until she


    pleads for mercy!”


    The color drained from Denise’s face at Elmore’s words. She copsed, frightened, as she pleaded,


    “Grandpa, please! I know I was wrong! Please, Grandpa!”


    Elmore ignored her and looked at Carl as he said, “Help me back.”


    Denise was his granddaughter and Elmore couldn’t bear to watch her suffer.


    But she did need some discipline, or the Casper family might not be able to cover up her mistakes


    the next time.


    Kenny bowed and turned to take the whip.


    “Grandpa, wait a minute.”


    A familiar voice sounded just as Elmore got to his feet.


    It was Rory.
