Chapter 273 What Do You Mean
"Rory, what are you doing? It's late, and you are being too loud.Have you forgotten that you are her brother?"
Elmore said as he walked down the stairs with the help of Carl and his walking stick.
When Denise heard EImore's voice, she felt renewed hope, and cried out, "Grandpa, please help me! Rory has gone completely crazy!"
Elmore looked at Rory and said, "Don’t be so hard on her.I don't see why you can't talk to your sister in a logical way.Violence won't get you anywhere.”
Since Elmore was talking him out of it, Rory decided to let Denise go, but the negative opinion he had of her would never change.
As soon as Rory let go of her, Denise threw herself into Jenifer's arms and cried out loud.Her screams unnerved Elmore, who turned to her and snapped, "Just stop crying, will you? What happened?”
Denise knew that Elmore was the only one who could help her at this point.So she stopped crying and tried to spin the truth in her favor.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, but I only did what I did for Rory and our family.I know that you've always wanted Rory and Becky to get back together.Last time, you gave my mom..."
Denise trailed off when she felt Elmore’s intense gaze.She gulped uncomfortably and then rearranged her words.
"Last time, you gave my mom a box of jewelry.You asked her to go and apologize to Becky so that she would agree to marry Rory again..."
Denise stopped and sobbed for a while before looking back up at Rory.
"Rory, I want you to know how sorry I am for being the cause of your divorce.l won't pretend and say I like Becky, because I don't. However, it is obvious she loves you.l did all those stupid things because I thought you didn’t like her.But after what I heard you say at the hotel, it was pretty much clear that you love Becky too."
Denise sighed dramatically and then continued, "The both of you are in love with each other, but Becky is too proud to remarry you.And you are too proud to apologize to her. wanted to help you, so I came up with this idea.You have to believe me, Rory.All I want is your happiness.”
With every word that Denise spoke, she made sure to let out a small sob to sound as sad as possible.Elmore locked at Denise, satisfied.novelesook.¢omShe was smart enough to turn this story and give it some sense.
After a moment of silence, EImore took a deep breath and said, "You thought drugging them was going to help them get back together, right?"
Hearing what Elmore said, Denise sneered inwardly.
The idea was his, after all.She said with a pout.
"I know my plan was despicable, but it worked, right?"
Elmore said in a cajoling tone, "Rory, we agree that Denise did something wrong, but it was for a good cause.”
"Don't tell me you believe her!" Rory exclaimed.
"What are you trying to say, Rory?" Denise asked.
Rory didn't say anything and just sneered.
Denise was his sister.
He used to think she was a good person, but he knew better now.
