Bang!
As soon as Becky and her family left, Elmore smashed a porcelain cup on the floor.
The antique cup was shattered into pieces, and Denise subconsciously shrank back.
“What the fuck is going on? Why is Becky suddenly Stevie’s daughter?”
Denise pursed her lips and whined, “Who knows? Didn’t Rory say that she was just an ordinary girl?”
“You, shut up! I’ll deal with you later!”
Elmore had been a respectable man. In all his eighty years on this earth, this was the first time that he felt so humiliated. He had not a shred of dignity left.
After scolding Denise, Elmore glared at Rory and demanded, “She didn’t tell you that she’s Stevie Ramos’s daughter?”
Rory shook his head. “No.”
Then he turned to look at his sister and said, “Mr. Ramos asked you to apologize. You should think about how to apologize.”
Denise’s face turned pale.
Was she really going to apologize in public?
“Well, there’s something I have to deal with at work. Sorry I can’t have dinner with you.”
With that, Rory turned around and left.
Elmore watched him go in silence. Thinking about what Stevie had said, he raised his walking stick and whacked the sofa Denise was sitting on, jolting her. “Prepare your public apology now! Or else you’ll be grounded until you fix this!”
This was the second time that Denise had seen Elmore get so angry. The first time was when the video and recordings of Babette’s schemes were posted on the Internet after Becky and Rory’s divorce.
