Although the Casper family was rich and powerful, it was the first time that they had seen so much gold in one place.
The gold bars glimmered under the lights. For a moment, everyone from the Casper family was stunned speechless.
Finally, Elmore came to his senses and asked, “What does this mean?”
Stevie answered, “We don’t like owing anyone. I think this is enough to cover Becky’s expenses over the past three years in your family. Of course, if you feel it’s not enough, just tell me the number and I’ll wire the money to you immediately.”
After a slight pause, he continued, “Now that we’re willing to pay you what we owe you, let’s make it clear just how much your family owes us.”
Stevie had been working in the business for many years, and despite the fury raging in his veins, he was able to suppress his anger. When he said this, he didn’t change his facial expression or his tone, but everyone present could feel the anger brewing inside him.
Elmore’s expression suddenly turned dark. “I don’t understand what you mean.”
That was exactly what Stevie wanted to hear. “Then allow me to make it clear to you. Firstly, ever since Becky married Rory three years ago, she had been given the cold shoulder by Rory and Denise. Secondly, it’s to be expected that Becky should’ve been free to do whatever she wants after divorcing Rory. However, Denise continued to make life hard for Becky. She not only had Becky kidnapped but also drugged her with an aphrodisiac. And, as though that wasn’t evil enough, she hired people to rape Becky. Thirdly, she took a photo of me with my daughter and spread an ugly rumor that Becky was my mistress.”
Stevie listed all three crimes at once, all the while looking straight at Elmore. “I hope you can explain these three things. We refused to sit back and watch while she hurt our daughter.”
