Chapter 800 Even though the diamonds on those earrings weren't big, I accepted them because it had been so long since Steven had givenanything. I didn't like them, but I accepted the gesture.
It wasn't until later that I found out those earrings were just a throw-in with the gemstones he bought for Jessica. It was something she didn't even want.

After talking to Jessica, Casper had done a lot of thinking. His conflict with Gary and Julia had started because of her and he'd said sharsh things to them. But at the end of the day, they were still his parents. He doubted they'd held it against him.
