The Casper family’s reputation wasn’t that reputable. If Stevie were to go through with it, things could get ugly between the Casper family and the Ramos family.
Lately, the Ramos family was in the limelight, and Becky’s uncles were prominent men within the political world. Elmore didn’t want to make enemies with the Ramos family. If not for that, he wouldn’t have tolerated Becky for giving him the cold shoulder during dinner.
At his age, the only thing he cared about now was the Casper family’s prosperity.
Denise was surprised to see Rory. She thought that he was here to defend her, so she quickly clung to his leg. “Rory, please put in a good word for me. I’ve learned my lesson. I won’t hurt Becky again. I mean it this time! I was just angry that she was dating Devin while she was proclaiming that she loved you so much. Rory, I post those things for your sake!”
Denise’s words made Rory’s face turned grim. He looked down at her as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Is that so?” he asked, visibly displeased. “The reason you hurt her is because of me?”
It was then that Denise realized that Rory wasn’t here to plead her case.
Once she wiped away her tears, she found that he was glaring at her with an icy gaze.
Denise trembled, quickly releasing his leg. “I’m sorry, Rory. I never meant to…”
