Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 56

It had been nearly half a year since Becky’s divorce, so she hadn’t seen Elmore in around 6 months.

Nobody in the Casper family was easy to get along with, except Rory’s mother.

Denise had always thought that Becky didn’t deserve her brother. Thus, throughout Becky’s marriage to Rory, Denise played dirty tricks on Becky many times.

And Elmore wasn’t as righteous a man as he projected. Not long after Becky married Rory, he gave her a book of the family rules. Elmore explained that the Casper family was prominent in Courtbush, so its members were not allowed to make any mistakes.

Around the time Becky got married, Elmore had retired from Crowbar Technologies and left the company’s affairs to Rory and Leon. This meant that Elmore could just stay at home and do nothing. Whenever Denise framed Becky, Elmore wouldn’t question her and would punish Becky without fact-checking first.

Becky could still remember all the punishments she had received from the old man.

After the divorce, Becky wanted to cut off all ties with the Casper family.

But fate had other plans. Elmore had come here to see her specifically.

Elmore strode inside her office with a gloomy expression. The second he saw Becky, he suddenly had the urge to slap her across the face, but he held himself back.

Becky leaned against her backrest and looked the old man up and down. “Mr. Casper, what can I do for you?”

“It’s only been a few months but you’ve already forgotten about the family rules. Why didn’t you serve me a cup of coffee after I came in?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Becky’s eyes widened and she laughed in disbelief mixed with disdain. “Does this place look like a cafe to you? Go downstairs and turn left. You’ll see a cafe that sells coffee over there.”

“Becky!” Elmore roared, his face turning purple from anger. “You are disrespectful and presumptuous. How dare you disgrace the Casper family! Believe it or not—”

“Excuse me, Mr. Casper. Have you forgotten that Rory and I are divorced?” Becky smiled sweetly, but there was no warmth in her eyes. “This is my workplace. If you have something to say to me, then say it. Otherwise, please leave. I’m not a patient person. You’d better spit it out now.”

The present Becky didn’t look as gentle and obedient as the Becky who was married to Rory. Instead, her eyes flashed with fierce determination as she spoke with authority.

Elmore was so angry that he nearly slapped Becky on the spot. “Since you want to cut to the chase, fine. Look, how much will it take for you to leave Bluepond and stop pestering Rory?”

“Are you implying that I’m playing hard to get with Rory?” Becky couldn’t believe her ears.

Elmore snorted with disdain. “I know how your mind works. Previously, you dragged the Casper family’s name through the mud and then disappeared. Now you’re back and trying to win Rory’s heart by behaving in a high-profile manner. Rory can’t see it, but I do!”

Feeling annoyed, Becky burst into laughter. “Old age has made you delusional. How blind you are!”

Then, she glanced at Talia, who was standing beside her, and said, “Please send Mr. Casper out.”

“Becky Ramos! I came here today to give you a chance to negotiate. If you give up this chance, don’t blame me for what I’m going to do.”

Elmore thought that it was more than enough for him to have come here in person. But he didn’t expect that Becky would not only turn a deaf ear to him but also talk back disrespectfully.

“I’ll call security if you don’t leave.”

Becky didn’t want to waste her breath with Elmore anymore.

After saying that, she stood up and walked out on him.
