Becky had turned Elmore’s invitation down. News of Raina’s suicide and Becky’s tweet were now forever on the Internet and a lot of people were keeping track of it. With each passing day, more and more people joined the hordes laughing 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 a laughing 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 Internet. 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 become 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 glance and said, “Don’t call me Grandpa. You don’t deserve it.”
