Divorce Has Never Felt This Good -

Chapter 188
Carl’s words did the job, convincing Denise to finally open the door. She looked at Carl and said, “Idid something wrong. What should I do?”
Carl frowned as he said, “Correct your mistakes.”
Denise knew that if she didn’t go to that dinner tonight, Elmore would punish her severely.
But if she went there, Becky certainly wouldn’t make it easy for her.
She was now in a dilemma.
Denise had never been so scared. She decided to choose the less harmful option.
No matter how angry Elmore was with her, he was still her grandfather. If she was lucky, he wouldonly give her a lecture.
But if she refused to go to the dinner…
Denise couldn’t even imagine what would happen. So she followed Carl downstairs. “Grandpa,” shesaid carefully as she saw Elmore.
Elmore glanced at Denise unhappily and said, “Don’t waste time.”
Denise knew that she was on the verge of a disaster and didn’t dare say anything.
On the way to dinner, Elmore contemplated calling Rory. He didn’t notice that there was somethingwrong with Denise.
But he listened to Carl and gave up on the idea of calling Rory. After all, this was the first time thatBecky had invited them to dinner. Only he and Denise were invited. If Rory ended up coming, itmight anger Becky.
If Becky’s temper were to be taken into consideration, Elmore thought that she might get angrysince she didn’t invite Rory.
The car soon stopped in front of the hotel. Denise got out of the car but wanted to run away almostimmediately. Elmore said to her rather irritably, “Look at you. You don’t look like a lady from aneminent family. You are hunching. Straighten your back!”
He glared at Denise, causing her legs to tremble weakly. She gritted her teeth and straightened herback before walking inside.
Becky and Talia were already there. Becky looked through the printed screenshots of thesurveillance video that Talia had found.
The evidence that Denise had framed Becky was irrefutable. Becky wanted to see how they woulddefend themselves.
Once Becky had gone through them, she said, “Put them away.”
She didn’t need them yet. Moreover, she couldn’t show her trump card right off the bat.
Talia had barely finished putting away the pictures when the door was pushed open. A waiter ledElmore, Carl, and Denise in.
Becky looked at Elmore and Denise.
“Long time no see, Mr. Casper.”
Elmore did not smile. He was a serious man who liked to maintain a serious facade at all times. Hedidn’t look down on Becky now, but he wasn’t warm to her either. “Hello, Miss Ramos.”
He put away his walking stick and sat down.
“Denise, you don’t look well today,” said Becky, glancing at Denise.
Denise began trembling at Becky’s words, almost dropping the teacup in her hand.
Talia poured them some tea as Becky handed the menu to Elmore and said, “I didn’t know what youlike to eat. Please order for yourself.”
“Don’t stand on ceremony. I’m not that particular,” Elmore said.
Although his expression was still serious, his attitude improved a lot.
Becky smiled and handed Denise another menu.
Denise took the menu without a word.
Becky continued to look at Denise with a mocking smile.
Carl knew that Elmore and Denise would face a hard time at this meal.
He sighed inwardly. But it was too late to do anything now.
