Denise looked at Rory and then at Becky but didn’t say a word.
It was then that she suddenly realized that Becky hadn’t come here to fight her. Becky was here to fight Rory.
And she was right.
The room fell silent again, but moments later, Rory said, “I’m sorry. Denise did cause you a lot of trouble.”
Becky sneered. “You are wrong. It’s not just Denise who has caused me trouble.”
He did so too.
Becky smiled at him.
Rory sensed a hint of defiance from her set lips and determined eyes.
He suddenly realized that he didn’t really know his ex-wife.
Becky had been gentle and kind after she had married into the Casper family three years ago. Every time she had an argument with Denise or Babette, she never hesitated to apologize to them in front of Elmore and Rory.
But tonight was different. Becky wasn’t here to listen to their apology. She had shown her determination ever since she had come in, and it was obvious that every word she said was intended to satirize them.
She hadn’t come here to accept their apology. She was here to embarrass them.
When Rory realized this, he felt the anger boiling up inside him. But what annoyed him more was the inexplicable depression at the bottom of his heart.
He looked at Becky, his expression darkening and his lips thinning. Coldness radiated off of him. Denise tried her best to shrink back and minimize her presence. Even if Becky were to point at her and scold her, she wouldn’t dare speak a single word.
