If I hadn't fought tooth and nail to convince my parents, he never would have been allowed anywhere near the Henson family.
Everything he had, he owed to my so-called "aggressiveness." And now he had the nerve to throw it back in my face.
Biting the hand that feeds. That was Elmer Weiss in a nutshell.
I didn't say a word. I just looked at him.
The silence unnerved him. After a long moment, he clenched his jaw and spoke.
"Forget it. There's no reasoning with someone like you."
With that, he took Vivian by the arm and left the banquet hall.
After the scene tonight, between wanting to comfort his little mistress and wanting to punish me, Elmer definitely wouldn't be coming home.
I pulled out my phone and texted my best friend:
"The fish is about to swim into the net. Send someone to tail Elmer tonight. I need video of the two of them together. No matter what."
If there was one thing that counted as ironclad evidence, it was footage of two cheaters in bed.
Ever since I'd first caught wind of their affair, Elmer had been careful never to spend the night with Vivian. Tonight was the perfect opportunity.
