Uponhearing the sound of the car engine outside the villa, Vivien breathed a sigh of relief and continuedwith her coffee. Stevie opened the door and stepped out as soon as the vehiclestopped.. He hurriedupstairs, and once he got there, he saw Elmore sittingopposite his wife.
Stevie composed himself and entered the room, beaming politely.”Mr. Casper, it’s been a while.”“Mr. Ramos, it’s been so long since we last met!”. Elmore greeted back with a grin, albeit coughing..Upon noticing that, Stevie suddenly remembered that the elderwas sent to the hospital in the middleof the night last week. Thenews was that Elmore was gravely ill. Even so, he seemed to bedoingwell right now. Stevie realized it was not the right time to bring it up. After he quickly came to hissenses, he sat beside Vivien andasked, “Why didn’t you tell me that you’d be coming here
toBluepond? I could have arranged for someone to pick you up.”Elmore replied, laughing, “It’salright. It’s not my first timecoming here, not to mention that the purpose of my visit is todiscuss animportant matter with you.” While Stevie had a rough guess, he pretended to be clueless about it.“May I ask what brought you here?”. “Good news! It’s good news,” Elmore exclaimed, followed by afewcoughs. Shifting his gaze to the man behind him, he ordered,”Carl, bring the file to Mr. Ramos.”Carl swiftly took out the file he had already prepared in hisbriefcase, put it on the table, and facedthe couple in front of him.”Mr. and Mrs. Ramos, this is the compensation Mr. Casper isgiving to yourdaughter.” After Carl’s brief explanation, Elmore sighed. “It’s our fault. Ifailed to discipline mydescendants, leaving Becky to suffer attheir hands. These days, every time I think of her, I feel Ihaven’tfulfilled my responsibility as an elder. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so disappointed todivorce Rory.”
