Chapter 298Chapter 298 Do We Need His Money
novelbinStevie and Vivien looked at each other briefly, none of themmaking an attempt to touch the so-called
compensation. Stevielooked back at Elmore and said, “All that is in the past now. There’s no need to
talk about it now.” “Come on. I know these things are in the past, but I can’t justignore all the harm that
our family has caused to Becky. I knowyou don’t need this, but to relief me of this weight, take thissmall
token,” Elmore pleaded. Stevie’s first reaction after Elmore’s words was to frown, but hemanaged to
conceal his displeasure and said with a stiff smile, “Don’t worry about that. As you surely know, Becky
doesn’t keepgrudges. It’s been almost a year now. She surely doesn’t evenremember these things.”
Elmore sighed again and said, “This is all my fault. It was because of my stubbornness that Becky
suffered in our family the wayshe did. But that is over now. From now on, anyone that daressay
anything wicked to Becky will have me to deal with. “Vivien’s eyebrows furrowed as she finally
understood whyElmore was here today. Stevie tried to keep his expressionneutral, but he couldn’t stop
the frown that finally made its wayto his face. “Well, I’ma little confused. Becky and Rory have
beendivorced for almost a year, right?” “Yes, but you know that young people nowadays have different
mindsets. Didn’t you read the news that was circulating on the internet a few days ago? They may be
divorced, but they loveeach other. We can’t be the ones to keep them away from eachother, right?”
Vivien raised her eyebrows at the nonsense she was hearing andasked in a not-too-polite tone, “Are
you trying to say that Beckyand Rory got back together?” Elmore wasn’t done talking, and Vivien’s
interruption annoyedhim. Under normal circumstances, he would have shown hisannoyance, but he
was in a vulnerable position. He covered thesmall frown he had let slip up and then smiled before
answering, “Rory loves Becky, and we all know Becky loves Rory. They onlydivorced because of some
misunderstandings. But now that themisunderstandings have been cleared up, nothing is stoppingthem
from getting back together.” Vivien was fuming with anger, and Stevie could feel it, so he heldher hand
to calm her down and looked at Elmore pointedly. “Youare right. They have the right to love each other.
We are Becky’sparents, but we don’t have the right to interfere in her love life You’ve said a lot sinceyou came in. What is it exactly that youwant to say?” Stevie cut to the chase. He was tired of
entertaining thisconversation..
Elmore, who didn’t get the impatience under Stevie’s tone,chuckled and answered, “You’re right. I
should make myintentions clear. I came here today to let you know that Rorywants to remarry Becky.
Carl, bring the betrothal gift out.” Carl nodded and then brought out another document. This time
though, he didn’t just place it on the table. He openedit instead and put in before Stevie and Vivien..
Although she was annoyed, Vivien couldn’t help but glance atthe document. She had to admit that the
Casper family wasready to spend a fortune to get her precious daughter back. But itstill didn’t move
her. The Ramos family didn’t lack money. They didn’t need thebetrothal gift from the Casper family.
After reading through the document, Vivien couldn’t stop the drychuckle that escaped her lips.. Elmore
misunderstood her laughter and frowned. “Are you notsatisfied with the gift?”. Vivien looked at him
emotionlessly and said, “Not satisfied?Don’t sell us so short. We have only one daughter, and she
willeventually inherit all our property. We don’t care about thisbetrothal gift. We only want out
daughter’s happiness. If this iswhat she wants, then we will give her our support. If it’s notwhat she
wants, we will not force anything on her.” If Vivien was being honest, she didn’t want her daughter to
jointhe Casper family again.. They had looked down on her daughter before and even madeher feel
useless. Why were they so eager to bring her back in? They finally realized what they had lost, but it
was too late.
