Chapter 257 I'm Making Myself
Jenifer forced a smile on her face in an effort to look happy and polite.
"Let's eat then."
Becky didn’t say a word in response.
Instead, she swung into action and proceeded to dish out the food for Jenifer and herself.
Jenifer was speechless.
She just didn't know what to say.
There was total silence in the room, except for the sound of tableware clashing as the women ate.
Jenifer was not in a feasting mood, so she could only take a few bites.
Becky, however, had a robust appetite.She had ordered a variety of dishes and she was satisfied with how they were prepared.
When Jenifer stopped eating, she looked up and saw Becky enjoying her meal with relish.
Such a sight did not do anything to improve Jenifer's mood.
Rather, it worsened it.
Becky took her time to finish her food, and when she was done, she grabbed a napkin and cleaned her hands before leaning back to enjoy a few sips from her cup of tea.
When she put down the cup, she took the piece of jewelry on the table that Jenifer gave her and returned it to the owner.
"This is for your next daughter-in-law, not me."
As she said this, there was a slight smile on her face, but the coldness in her voice could not be missed.
Jenifer's face fell in disappointment.
"But Becky, you love Rory very much, don't you?"
"No.I loved him, but that was long ago" Becky said.
Jenifer opened her mouth to respond, but Becky was not interested in listening, and instead cut her off immediately.
"If your aim is to persuade me to get back together with Rory, I can assure you that it will be a waste of time.I made it clear that I want nothing more to do with Rory, and I don't go back on my word.The Casper family is too good enough for me, and so is your son, Rory.No ordinary person is fit to become your daughter-in-law."
Even though Jenifer was used to enduring scolding and humiliation, only Elmore dared to put her through such.
Becky had been very respectful to her when she was Rory's wife.
This was the first time she had talked to Jenifer in such a mocking tone.
"But why? Why are you doing this to yourself, Becky?"
Jenifer couldn't help but ask her.
"I'm doing nothing to myself except making myself happy," Becky retorted.
As far as she was concerned, she had done everything right and she had no reason to worry.
"I think I'd like to take my leave now," Becky said with a sneer as she got up to her feet.
"I have quite some things to do.Good night."
"Becky!"
Jenifer wanted to still talk a little more with her, but Becky ignored her and walked away without looking back.
Becky, on her part, wasn't really angry, even though she was not happy with the line of discussion Jenifer had picked.She had simply gone out of her way to give the woman every reason to never seek to meet her again.
Well, it was not a total waste of time anyway.
At least, she did enjoy a good meal.
Becky looked at her watch and saw that it was just half past seven.
Obviously, she did not spend much time with Jenifer.
"Ma‘am, please help me!"
Before Becky could locate the source of this sudden scream, a girl ran out from nowhere and grabbed her arm.She was wearing a business suit, but some of the top buttons had been pulled off.Her hair was a tangy mess and she had only one shoe on.She was disheveled in every way and it was clear that she had just escaped from danger.
Becky did not see herself as a Good Samaritan, but seeing this girl who was obviously in trouble, she knew she had to do something.
The poor girl looked miserable and terror-stricken and Becky couldn't help but pity her.
Becky was just about to hold her up when a middle-aged man whose face was red with anger rushed out of nowhere to try to grab her.
This angered Becky and she swiftly blocked his path before he could touch the girl.
The man became even more furious.
"Who the hell are you? Why don't you mind your own business and get out of my way!"
But Becky neither responded nor allowed him access to the girl.So, he reached around Becky to grab her.
Immediately, Becky's leg flew out and she gave him a hard kick.
The man was sent straight to the ground.
"You bitch!" he cursed as he held his belly, groaning in severe pain.
"I swear, I'll..."
But before he could finish the statement, Becky lifted her leg threateningly.
The man shrank and shuddered in fear.He had tasted that leg once, he didn't want to again.
Instead, he scowled at the girl he had been trying to capture.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
"Do you want to get fired? Before it's too late, you had better go back.Go serve Mr.Winston and apologize to him."
"No! I won't! I'm done! I quit! I won't ever go back again! Ma‘am, please help me.Take me away from here.I just recently graduated from university.This man deceived me and lured me here.He told me this was going to be just a business trip.I didn't know he was planning to force me to sleep with someone."
Becky immediately understood the situation the poor girl was in.
Right there and then, she pulled out her phone and dialed the police.
Then she said to the man, ‘I'm calling the police right now.Do you want to stick around and wait for them? The crime you have committed is a very grievous one."
Still clutching his hurting belly, the man cursed and grumbled angrily as he stumbled up on his feet.Then he hurried back to where he had come from as fast as his legs could carry him.
