Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 248

Chapter 248 I Don't Think She Wants to See Me

What Elmore heard from Rory was so annoying to him that he felt like throwing his phone at the wall.

As far as he was concerned, his grandson was an idiot! A complete Idiot! Devin refused to give up even after Becky told him she didn't care for him.

But Rory chose to give up after facing only a few minor obstacles. From NôvelDrama.Org.

What a weak moron! Regardless of how angry he was with his grandson, Elmore knew that Rory had simply lost confidence.He knew how good Devin was when it came to scheming and playing mind games on others.He had somehow managed to get most people on his side.

It was just crazy! Elmore couldn't understand it.

But one thing he knew for sure was that he would never stand by and watch Becky marry Devin.

Four years ago, Becky had made the choice to marry into the Casper family.

If it was possible then, it could as well be possible now.

He leaned back on the sofa and started to think.

It wasn't long before an idea floated into his head.

"Carl, ask Jenifer to come over here."

Carl nodded respectfully and darted off on the errand.He found Jenifer sitting with Denise and listening to her talk about the recent trending subjects on the internet.

Jenifer was a quiet and sensible woman who avoided drama at all costs.

And with the internet being a place for drama, she didn't think much of the strangers’ comments.

But Denise was a different case entirely.

She took those comments very seriously and she was very upset by the fact that people called her a troublemaker.

If she hadn't been whipped not long ago, she would have talked back already.

She strongly believed that it was Becky who was behind all of the hate directed against her and she said as much to her mother.

"Come on, stop talking nonsense.Do you want to get punished again?"

Jenifer scolded her.

Heeding her mother's warning, Denise promptly kept quiet.She would have loved to speak her mind, but she didn't dare risk any further punishment.

Jenifer sighed and turned to Carl.

"What's the matter, Carl?"

"I have no idea.Mr.Casper just asked to see you in his study."

"Oh, okay." Jenifer nodded.

Then she stood up and promptly went with him.

When they got to the study, Carl knocked on the door.

"Come in," Elmore called out immediately.

Clearly, he had been waiting impatiently for them.

Carl pushed the door open and ushered Jenifer in.

Jenifer was a little scared of Elmore.She walked into the study, her mind a bit uneasy as she wondered what he wanted to say to her.

"Have a seat," Elmore said and nodded at a chair nearby.

After Jenifer had taken her seat, Elmore cleared his throat and picked up a box from the table and handed it to her.

"You're Rory’s mother.Like me, ! believe you wish for him to live as good a life a man can live.I like Becky very much and I want her to be my granddaughter-in-law again.And I remember you both got along nicely back then.Rory is too proud to coax Becky.So, it falls to you, his mother, to step in and help him."

Jenifer was confused.

She understood what he had said about Rory, but she didn't understand how it had anything to do with her or what he wanted her to do.

"I don't understand what you mean."

Elmore, being already in a foul mood, was further annoyed by the fact that Jenifer could not understand something he felt was clear and straightforward.But he tried to act like he wasn't angry.He couldn't afford to scare her off since he needed her assistance.

"Jenifer, you were Becky's mother-in-law for three years.You have every excuse to reestablish contact with her."

It finally dawned on Jenifer.She now knew what Elmore had been trying to say.

"But I don't think Becky wants to see me," she pointed out, Jenifer might be soft, but she was no fool.

In the Casper family, she could easily be seen as another Becky, only that she lacked the spirit and courage Becky had.

As a result, she could only put up with her husband's affairs.She was smart enough to know how Becky felt.

Frankly, if she was in Becky's shoes, she wouldn't want anything more to do with the Casper family either.

"She'll agree to see you after some time if you put in a little effort" Elmore said in an effort to persuade her.

It was clear what Elmore wanted Jenifer to do.He wanted her not just to talk to Becky but to talk to her on Rory's behalf.

But as difficult as the task was, Jenifer couldn't dare think of disobeying her strict and fearsome father-in-law.

"Okay, I'll try," she said reluctantly and stood up to leave the room.

"Wait.Take this with you.You can use it when Becky finally agrees to see you.And make sure you remember to tell me when that happens."

Jenifer took the small bottle he handed to her and looked at it suspiciously.

"But what's this?"

"What are you afraid of? It won't kill.It's not poison.You know how stubborn and impulsive young people are nowadays.So, it's necessary for us to give them a little push sometimes.When they get to our age and become as sensible as we are now, they will be very grateful for what we did for them," Elmore said and leaned back with a satisfied smile.

Taking one last glance at him, Jenifer couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

This father-in-law of hers was a demon!
