Chapter 249 Will It Have Adverse Effects
When Jenifer didn't take the bottle, Elmore became impatient.
"What? Are you worried that I'll poison Becky to death?"
"No.It's not that.It’s just..."
"Then take the bottle!"
It was clear that Elmore’s temper was beginning to rise and not wanting to be on the receiving end of it, Jenifer took the bottle.
"Okay.I'm leaving now."
Elmore waved her off and Jenifer walked to the door.But all of a sudden, a thought entered his mind and he stopped her immediately.
"Wait! Don't tell Rory anything about this," he warned.
"Okay.I won't," Jenifer promised.She walked out of the study, her face as pale as a sheet.
Carl, who had been standing outside the study, was worried to see her in such a condition.He waited till Jenifer had gone far away before entering the study.
"Mr.Casper, will it have any adverse effects? If anything goes wrong, the Ramos family..."
But Elmore snorted dismissively before Carl could even finish talking.
"Stop fretting like a girl, Carl.No one will suspect us.What I gave Jenifer is just a bottle of vitamins.She can't be trusted with the task of drugging Becky."
Carl was shocked to hear this and his confusion only doubled.
"But I'm afraid she will tell Rory about it." Elmore scoffed.
"And what exactly will she tell him? It's just a bottle of vitamins! Besides, she and Rory are not that close.No matter what she tries to tell him, Rory will never listen to her."
Suddenly, it all became clear to Carl.
"Are you thinking of Denise?"
Elmore nodded.
"Denise has made so much trouble in the past.There's no better candidate for the job.And by the way, it's time for her to do something for the family."
There was no doubt that Jenifer would tell Denise about it and the latter would offer to do it.
If the Ramos family ever found out, they would blame Denise.
As long as Denise told them that she had only been trying to bring Becky and Rory back together, the Ramos family would be powerless to do anything.
At that point, Elmore would express how sorry he was and then say all the nice words to soothe the Ramos family.
As these thoughts ran through his mind, Elmore broke into a smile.He beckoned for Carl to come close.
"Contact the media.Ask them to spread the tumor that Rory has asked Keenan to give up the land that Becky was interested in.Devin is good at turning public opinion in his favor.We'll show him that we can do it too."
"I'll get on it right away.Anything else?" Carl asked.
Elmore waved his hand.He was sure that, when everything fell into place, Becky would never be able to marry anyone else.
Carl had been spot on when he predicted Jenifer's possible actions.
After she left Elmore's study, Jenifer went straight to her room with the bottle.
She was very uncomfortable with the whole thing and she badly needed to confide in someone.
Elmore had practically asked her to drug Becky, but she did not want to do it at all.
Knowing Elmore, she knew that he would not take kindly to his orders getting flouted.
Jenifer began to think of a possible solution to this dilemma she had found herself in. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
After a while, it finally occurred to her to tell Rory, so she picked her phone and called him.
When Rory saw his mother calling him, he frowned.
At first, he didn't want to pick it, but he changed his mind and answered it.
"Mom, what is it?" he asked impatiently.
"Rory, please listen to me.I have something important to tell you.You and Becky—"
But Rory cut her off before she could land.
"Mom, I don't want to talk about this now.I have a meeting to attend.Talk later.Bye."
Jenifer's face fell when she heard the beep that signified that the connection had been cut.
Her son did not want to listen to her at all! Who then would she turn to? After that painful snub, Jenifer became almost like a ghost.
In fact, she became so depressed that Denise noticed it and she approached her one day to find out.
"Mom, you've not been yourself for some days now.What's wrong? Did Dad's mistress confront you again?"
Denise had a strong disgust for Leon's mistress.
What annoyed her most was the fact that the woman always shamelessly flaunted her relationship with Denise's father.
The more Denise thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Don't worry.I'll deal with that bitch myself.By the time I'm done with her, she'll never think of bothering you again."
