Becky was a little surprised to see Denise but she quickly gathered her bearings. “What’s up?” she asked casually.
Denise didn’t like Becky one bit. In the past, Becky might’ve shown a slight rebellious streak when she was with the Casper family, but she never dared to disrespect Elmore.
But Denise heard the words “old fool” from Becky’s mouth when she talked about Elmore just now.
Trembling with anger, Denise pointed a finger at Becky and shouted, “Apologize, Becky!”
Jessie snorted. “Are you out of your mind?”
Becky gave Jessie a meaningful glance, hinting at her to stop provoking Denise. Then she turned to Denise and asked calmly, “Why should I?”
“Because you just called my grandfather an old fool!”
Becky shrugged indifferently. “I’m just speaking the truth.”
“How dare you!”
In a fit of rage and without thinking, Denise grabbed the pitcher of juice from the table and was about to pour it over Becky’s head.
Becky knew that Denise tended to get violent when she was angry, so Becky instantly knew what the latter was up to when she grabbed the pitcher from the table.
Just as Denise was about to pour the juice over Becky’s head, Becky grabbed Denise’s hand and turned it around. As a result, the whole pitcher of mango juice was splashed on Denise’s face.
As the sticky juice trickled down her face, Denise was too stunned to do anything for a while.
It was Denise’s friend who had to ask a waiter to fetch them a towel.
The mango juice trickled from Denise’s face to her clothes, seeping into her sweater little by little. She could do nothing but stand there, blushing in embarrassment.
