Elmore was annoyed at Becky’s words. They hurt him.
Few things scared Elmore anymore since he had experienced a lot. But the older a person was, the vainer they became.
As a young man, Elmore had frequently been looked down upon. But once he had become successful and accumulated this prestige, few people dared to be condescending towards him.
Still, no matter how successful or prestigious he was, he couldn’t stop people from gossiping.
People are free to talk. If Becky exposed these things to the Internet, Elmore was unable to stop the gossip.
It was not until now that Elmore realized that Becky had no intention of making peace with him tonight.
Instead, she had come for revenge.
How scheming she was!
Denise’s actions weren’t serious. Just an apology would have sufficed and things would have settled down.
But Becky didn’t want to let it go, which was why she had specially organized tonight’s dinner.
On the one hand, Becky wanted to cause the Casper family to lose face. On the other hand, she wanted to teach Denise a lesson.
Becky was really good at reading people’s minds.
