    When Stevie knew that Elmore was going to visit him, heimmediately put down his work and rushed


    back. Not long after Stevie started his career more than two decadesago, he cooperated with


    Elmore, whose sess was undeniabledue to his boldness. It was the same reason Stevie didn’t


    like Elmore’s way of doingthings. After that, Becky married into the Casper family and suffered alot.


    Because of that, his disgust for Elmore grew even more. The rumor about the rekindling of Becky’s


    rtionship with Roryspread wildly a while ago. It was natural for Stevie and Vivien toworry about it


    However, Becky exined it was amisunderstanding and that she would fix it. Becky was an


    independent woman. With that, Stevie believed inhis daughter. So along with his wife, they didn’t


    pry further, notwanting to make her feel bad. But now, Elmore had traveled a long way from


    Courtbush toBluepond to visit him. Stevie figured it must have something todo with Devin and Rory.


    Elmore came back home around four in the afternoon. Vivienhappened to be at home that day. She


    unwillingly amodatedthe unwanted guest with a fake smile. They exchanged pleasantries out


    of courtesy, though it was all an act. After all, Elmore was an elder who mastered being elusive


    through time. He was a cunning person indeed. On the otherhand, Vivien couldn’t help being


    annoyed with him. she hadsomeone inform her husband at work toe home thatinstant. Upon


    hearing the sound of the car engine outside the vi, Vivien breathed a sigh of relief and continued


    with her coffee. Stevie opened the door and stepped out as soon as the vehiclestopped.. He hurried


    upstairs, and once he got there, he saw Elmore sittingopposite his wife.


    Stevieposed himself and entered the room, beaming politely.”Mr. Casper, it’s been a while.”


    “Mr. Ramos, it’s been so long since west met!”. Elmore greeted back with a grin, albeit coughing..


    Upon noticing that, Stevie suddenly remembered that the elderwas sent to the hospital in the middle


    of the nightst week. Thenews was that Elmore was gravely ill. Even so, he seemed to bedoing


    well right now. Stevie realized it was not the right time to bring it up. After he quickly came to his


    senses, he sat beside Vivien andasked, “Why didn’t you tell me that you’d being here


    toBluepond? I could have arranged for someone to pick you up.”Elmore replied,ughing, “It’s


    alright. It’s not my first timing here, not to mention that the purpose of my visit is todiscuss an


    important matter with you.” While Stevie had a rough guess, he pretended to be clueless about it.


    “May I ask what brought you here?”. “Good news! It’s good news,” Elmore eximed, followed by a


    fewcoughs. Shifting his gaze to the man behind him, he ordered,”Carl, bring the file to Mr. Ramos.”


    Carl swiftly took out the file he had already prepared in hisbriefcase, put it on the table, and faced


    the couple in front of him.”Mr. and Mrs. Ramos, this is thepensation Mr. Casper isgiving to your


    daughter.” After Carl’s brief exnation, Elmore sighed. “It’s our fault. Ifailed to discipline my


    descendants, leaving Becky to suffer attheir hands. These days, every time I think of her, I feel I


    haven’tfulfilled my responsibility as an elder. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so disappointed to


    divorce Rory.”
