Rory glanced at Becky, who was quietly standing beside her mother as though this was just any other day.
Hearing what Stevie said, Jenifer hurriedly said, “Mr. and Mrs. Ramos, come inside first.”
Denise couldn’t help but protest. “Mom!”
Obviously, the Ramos family had come to get even with them.
Denise stole a glance at Becky, and Becky happened to look at Denise at that time. Feeling guilty, Denise looked away.
Denise wondered why she would feel guilty.
Jenifer shot her daughter a warning glance and shook her head, silent asking Denise to keep her mouth shut.
Jenifer was a sophisticated woman. Of course, she could see that Becky’s parents had come here because they had a bone to pick with them.
When they entered the house, Jenifer asked a maid to prepare tea for their guests. However, Stevie refused her hospitality. “No, thank you. We’re here to settle scores with your family. There’s no need to serve us anything. After all, we’re not friends, and we will never be friends.”
Stevie’s implication was quite serious and clear. Both families were prestigious. The Casper family held a dominant position in Courtbush, whereas the Ramos family was the richest family in Bluepond. In comparison, the Ramos family was even stronger and more powerful than the Casper family.
Denise was born into a rich family, but she herself hadn’t achieved anything in life because everything was fed to her on a silver spoon. She knew that there was bound to be a family richer than hers, but she had no idea who the richest family in Bluepond was.
And as far as she was concerned, what Stevie said was somewhat funny. Just as Denise was about to laugh at him, she saw the unusual expression on Rory’s face and she stopped.
“I see. Please wait a moment. I’ll call Elmore downstairs,” Jenifer said nervously, forcing a smile.
Then, she turned to Rory and said, “Take care of them.”
Rory nodded, but he didn’t do anything after Jenifer left.
