It had been nearly half a year since Becky’s divorce, so she hadn’t seen Elmore in around 6 months.
Nobody in the Casper family was easy to get along with, except Rory’s mother.
Denise had always thought that Becky didn’t deserve her brother. Thus, throughout Becky’s marriage to Rory, Denise played dirty tricks on Becky many times.
And Elmore wasn’t as righteous a man as he projected. Not long after Becky married Rory, he gave her a book of the family rules. Elmore explained that the Casper family was prominent in Courtbush, so its members were not allowed to make any mistakes.
Around the time Becky got married, Elmore had retired from Crowbar Technologies and left the company’s affairs to Rory and Leon. This meant that Elmore could just stay at home and do nothing. Whenever Denise framed Becky, Elmore wouldn’t question her and would punish Becky without fact-checking first.
Becky could still remember all the punishments she had received from the old man.
After the divorce, Becky wanted to cut off all ties with the Casper family.
But fate had other plans. Elmore had come here to see her specifically.
Elmore strode inside her office with a gloomy expression. The second he saw Becky, he suddenly had the urge to slap her across the face, but he held himself back.
Becky leaned against her backrest and looked the old man up and down. “Mr. Casper, what can I do for you?”
“It’s only been a few months but you’ve already forgotten about the family rules. Why didn’t you serve me a cup of coffee after I came in?”
Becky’s eyes widened and she laughed in disbelief mixed with disdain. “Does this place look like a cafe to you? Go downstairs and turn left. You’ll see a cafe that sells coffee over there.”
