Class definition thinks setting a variable is a Unit?

Writing out a Scala class and problem here is that the compiler thinks that the code is a unit not returning the proper value. It's a method used to set a property in the class:

def setObject(`object`:StripeObject):StripeObject = {
    this.`object` = `object`
  }

The error is: type mismatch; found : Unit required: com.stripe.StripeObject

The full class is:

case class EventData(var previousAttributes: HashMap[String,Object], var `object`:StripeObject) extends StripeObject {

  def getPreviousAttributes = {
    previousAttributes
  }

  def setPreviousAttributes(previousAttributes: HashMap[String, Object]) = {
    this.previousAttributes = previousAttributes
  }

  def getObject = {
    `object`
  }

  def setObject(`object`:StripeObject):StripeObject = {
    this.`object` = `object`
  }
}

How do I make sure it doesn't return a Unit?
