Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

It was the first time that Elmore had been driven out of a place by force. Consequently, he had been in a bad mood since he returned to his home.

In the past three years, Becky had been obedient and well-behaved. Even if she was born into a poor family, Elmore was still willing to bear with her existence in their home.

But today, Becky talked back to him. This pissed Elmore off, so when he got home, he immediately called Rory.

When Rory saw the caller ID, he frowned slightly. “Grandpa?”

“Rory, I'm telling you—you can marry anyone in the future. Anyone except Becky!”

Rory stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Rubbing the spot between his brows, he idly watched the passers-by below. “Did you see her?”

“So many things have been circulating the Internet lately because of that woman. I wanted to negotiate with her for the sake of her past marriage to you, but I didn't expect that she would not only disobey me but also mock me! She even said that I was delusional. Who would want such a woman? As long as I'm alive, the Casper family will never accept her!”

Elmore had never been scolded and driven away like this in all his life. He was even more furious than the time Becky posted about Babette on the internet.

But Elmore's grating voice only annoyed Rory further. “Grandpa, I'm not married to her anymore. We have nothing to do with each other. Besides, it's Becky who asked for the divorce.”

“You—!"

Elmore was so angry that he hung up on Rory abruptly. Was Rory trying to say that Becky had divorced him because she despised the Casper family?

Elmore felt that Rory was out of his damned mind.

After putting the phone down, the pissed-off Rory threw his phone at his desk.

At about ten o'clock the previous night, Devin had texted him, saying, “Rory, I'm going to pursue Becky. I mean it.”

Over the past few years, he and Devin had been each other's biggest competitor in the business world. But personally, Rory appreciated Devin’s talent and capabilities.

Putting aside the interests of both parties, he and Devin were not as hostile as the rumors claimed them to be.

But that didn't mean they were friends.

And Devin's text seemed like more of a provocation than a notice.

However, in Rory's eyes, it wasn't worth it for him to fight against Devin for Becky.

But after all was said and done, he couldn't shake off the feeling of annoyance and frustration. Becky, on the other hand, was in a good mood today. It was the first time that she had said such harsh words to Elmore. In the past, she was forced to obey the ridiculous family rules and show respect to Elmore just because he was an elder. Whenever Elmore scolded her relentlessly, she would always endured it meekly.

But things were different now. She had divorced Rory and was no longer a member of the Casper family. Elmore had no right to meddle in her affairs.

Later, Talia told her that when Elmore was driven out, his face was livid and purple from anger. Becky couldn't be happier at the thought of such a picture.

Becky cheerily signed a document and handed it back to Talia. “By the way, is there any news from Mr. Garcia?"

Talia shook her head. “None yet.”

Becky sighed but she didn't feel dejected. “Alright. If you really can't set an appointment with him, forget it.”

Fairway Group wasn't the only company that wanted that particular piece of land. Plus, Becky was just a manager without any prominent background in his eyes. It was normal that Walton Garcia didn't want to meet her.

After handing the document to Talia, Becky picked up her handbag and said, “It's time to get off work, Talia. Don't forget to have dinner, okay?”

It was rare for Becky to not work overtime, so she invited Jessie out for dinner.

However, it was a small world after all.

At the restaurant, Becky was telling Jessie all about how she had made Elmore storm out of her office that day when they bumped into Denise.
