Before Denise could protest any further, Rory’s cold gaze shut her up. She reluctantly approached Stevie, dissatisfaction written all over her face.
Becky looked at her father.
Stevie raised his hand and stopped Denise. “You don’t have to say sorry here. In fact, I doubt you even believe that you did something wrong. If it weren’t for the fact that Becky was married to Rory for three years, we wouldn’t have come here in person to ask for an explanation.”
Rory frowned slightly. “Mr. Ramos, what do you mean?”
“I want Denise to publicly apologize and admit that she was the one who spread malicious rumors about Becky. If she isn’t willing to apologize, then we’ll settle this matter in court.”
Stevie had dealt in business for decades and he was by no means a simple-minded man. Asking them to say sorry and pay some money in private had no effect on the Casper family whatsoever.
But it would be different if Denise had to apologize in public. She used to gang up with Babette to hurt Becky. Now, she had to pay the price.
Stevie had already discussed this with his wife before they came here, and they wanted Denise to apologize in public.
“By the way, you don’t have to compensate us. Yes, the reputation of the Ramos family has been damaged badly, thanks to Denise. But I was worried that you would think we are demanding an exorbitant price,” Stevie added meaningfully.
Upon hearing what Stevie said, the Casper family all looked sullen.
After being confronted by Becky just now, Elmore had fallen silent and didn’t know what to say.
They used to push Becky around, but now Elmore knew Becky wasn’t afraid of them.
Jenifer had always been a peacemaker. In her eyes, Becky’s parents were making a reasonable request, so she didn’t try to protest.
All the color drained from Denise’s face after hearing what Stevie said. “Rory, I didn’t…”
