The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 797

Back then, Casper thought leaving Gary and Julia would fix everything. But they

always acted like they'd have no way out and might as well be dead if the

company collapsed. That guilt trip always got to Gary, and he stayed stuck.

Now that he thought about it, Casper wondered what good it had done him to

listen to them. All he got out of it was a broken marriage and a son who didn't

even see him as his father.

Out of the blue, Casper felt an unexpected urge to see Cody. Cody was his only

child and the only one who wouldn't bring him down.

Julia picked up the phone. "Yeah?"

"You're saying I dated Ruby?" Casper's voice was ice-cold. "When the hell did that

happen? 'Because I sure don't remember it."

Julia had him on speakerphone, and the way he fired off those questions left her

speechless. She had no idea how to respond.

Gary took over. "Oh, so now you're just going to deny it? Back then, everybody

knew Ruby was your girlfriend!"

"But I never dated with her," Casper said, enunciating every word.
