Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 196
Divorce Has Never Felt This Good
Elmore went to the villa after he said that. He turned his head to Carl and instructed, âKeep an eye on Denise. Donât let her ask for Jeniferâs help.â
Jenifer, Deniseâs mother, was known for being kindhearted. Leon, Deniseâs father, didnât care about anything and even had a second family. Although Elmore hated that Jenifer couldnât win over her husbandâs love, he still felt that the Casper family owed her.
Knowing Denise, the first person she would run to if she needed help was Jenifer. And if Jenifer pleaded for her daughter, it would be hard for Elmore to turn his daughter-in-law down.
Elmore had never felt so humiliated in front of Becky, and this was all Deniseâs fault.
Even though he didnât lose his temper at the dinner table, nothing could stop him from punishing Denise now.
Elmore had just asked Carl to keep an eye on Denise. He was obviously going to teach her a lesson tonight.
Carl had worked for Elmore for many years and knew that he was a very vain man. The only reason why he couldnât talk back to Becky was because of Denise.
Carl nodded and then headed back to the villa.
Elmore was right. When he left, Denise hurriedly stumbled out of the car to look for Jenifer.
But today was not her lucky day. Jenifer had gone shopping and called back to say that she couldnât come home in time for dinner. Since it was only seven oâclock, she wouldnât be in the villa.
Denise knocked on Jeniferâs door for a while but didnât get a response. She started getting antsy. As she was about to take out her phone to call Jenifer up, Carl suddenly showed up behind her and stopped her. âYour grandpa told me that if you donât get to the living room in ten minutes, youâll suffer serious consequences.â
Denise felt her legs weaken and almost collapsed on the floor when she heard what he said.
She sensed her impending doom but couldnât muster up the courage to ask for help from Rory. Now the only person who could save her was Jenifer.
She leaned against the wall as she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. She then looked at Carl and forced a smile. âI know. Please go check on my grandfather. As you know, he is quite old. What if he trips and falls? Iâll just change my clothes and head there.â
Denise turned around and went to her room.
Carl didnât stop her. Instead, he advised, âI recommend that you donât bring your mother into this. Your grandpa is furious. You have no choice but to face his anger by yourself.â
When Denise heard this, she froze in her tracks, her eyes wide open.
âI see. You can now go to assist my grandfather.â
Once she got to her room, Denise immediately fell to the floor. Her hands trembled as she held her phone. With shaky fingers, she tapped on it several times and called Jeniferâs number.
As soon as the call was picked up, Denise wailed, âMom, please come back and save me!â
Jenifer just had dinner with her friend and was about to go shopping. When she saw that Denise was calling her, she thought that she wanted something from the mall. But as she answered the call, she heard Deniseâs distraught voice. Her face turned pale. âDenise, what happened? Tell me, Iâll come home right away!â
Denise didnât get into detail and only told her that she had irritated Elmore and that he was now going to punish her.
Jenifer married into the Casper family and knew the severity of the punishment when Elmore was angry. The last time he was angry, Becky knelt for the whole night.
She was now not in the mood to go shopping.
After saying goodbye to her friend, she hurriedly drove back home.
