Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 138 Chapter 138 "Why'd you switch cars today?" Whitney asked as she buckled her seatbelt. ༠ 62 55 vouchers Klein said with a smile, "Your car's in for maintenance, and so is mine. Couples should do everything together,even car maintenance." Whitney didn't know what to say. Ever since they got married, Klein had become more and more thick-skinned. He was nothing like the cold, aloof man she'd imagined. In fact, he was all fire and passion every single night. Klein was cunning, quiet, and a total flirt around her. Samuel was thrilled when he heard Whitney and Klein were coming over.

He immediately started directing April, making sure everything was set just right. "Dinner needs to be absolutely perfect tonight. If it's not, don't even bother showing up tomorrow!" Samuel ordered. By the time the clock hit 6:30, Samuel was finally rewarded with the sight of Klein walking through the door. "Whit, Klein, you're back!" Samuel called out, his voice full of excitement. Whitney saw his flattering smile and couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. 'He's got that scheming look again, Whitney thought to herself.

'If only he knew the man he's been so eager to see is just here to put on a show,' she snickered. Klein said with a polite nod, "Dad, this is just a little something for you." He wasn't about to show up empty-handed. If he was going to play the part, he was going to do it right. Samuel didn't care what Klein brought. Even if Klein showed up with nothing, he would still be over the moon. "Come on in, have a seat! Make yourself comfortable. Oh, you really shouldn't have brought anything. Thank you," Samuel said, all smiles. It was all just polite talk, and Klein didn't take it seriously.

As soon as they sat down at the dining table, Samuel eagerly started pouring a drink. "Klein, the wedding was such a whirlwind, and I barely got a chance to talk to you," Samuel said, raising his glass. "From now on, I'm trusting my daughter to you. She can be a little spoiled sometimes. Please bear with her." With that, Samuel downed his drink in one gulp. 17:37 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 138 หร 16b voltchers Klein didn't drink. "Dad, I have to disagree with you. Whit is perfect in every way. Honestly, she's not spoiled at all. I think she's so cute." Whitney didn't know what to say.

Even Samuel was stunned. 'Cute?' Samuel thought, totally baffled. Is he talking about the same girl who showed up in the middle of the night with a bucket of water and dumped it all over me and Laura? 'Or the one who wouldn't even let me set foot on stage at her wedding? 'She's not cute at all.' Samuel smiled awkwardly and said, "Sure, sure. I'd glad you think so, Klein." He poured himself a glass and drank it in one gulp. "Klein, when Whitney's mother was alive, I really let her down," Samuel said, his voice thick with emotion. "I was so caught up with work.

I barely had time to be with her or take care of her. If she were alive, she'd be the happiest person in the world to see Whitney get married." As he spoke, Samuel teared up a little with emotion. Whitney thought, 'Finally, after all that small talk, he's about to get to the real reason we're here tonight.' "So this time, with Whit getting married, I just wanted to make sure my daughter could hold her head high," Samuel said, voice thick with emotion. "But Whit, I'm sorry. The company isn't what it used to be, and the shares I gave you aren't worth as much now.

I'm not even sure if we can weather this storm..." Samuel wiped his tears and said, "Klein, sorry you had to see me like this." Klein watched Samuel's little show in silence, and played along. "Is your company really in such a tight spot right now, Dad?" Samuel let out a heavy sigh. "It's a long story." Whitney decided to stir the pot a little. "Honey, why don't you help my dad out?" she said. Klein's eyes suddenly went cold. "Whit, you really don't get how business works." "But Dad, I actually have a project that could give your company a fresh start.

If you're interested, just get in touch with my assistant tomorrow," Klein said. Samuel was over the moon and said, "Klein, you really mean it?" "Absolutely," Klein replied with a faint smile. Whitney was really pleased with how Klein played along tonight. 17:38 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 138 Honestly, he totally exceeded her expectations. : 62 55 vouchers While Samuel was in the bathroom, Whitney tugged gently on Klein's arm and said, "Don't help him, okay?" Klein gently stroked the back of her hand and said, "I know what I'm doing." By the end of the night, Samuel was completely drunk.

April had to hold him up so he wouldn't collapse in a drunken stupor. "Klein, you're great! Really, you're the best!" Samuel slurred. "My daughter has married into the Harris family!" he said proudly. Whitney's eyes flashed cold. She was just mortified by him. "Let's go," she said. Klein pulled her into his arms and said, "He's his own person, and you're you. Don't let his actions affect you." "Don't overthink it," he added softly. Whitney nodded gently. 'We're nothing alike. He's never been worthy of being my father,' Whitney thought. ***** "Mom!

Did you really get divorced from Dad?" Tina burst out, her voice shaking with disbelief. She still couldn't wrap her head around the fact that her parents were actually divorced. It was just too much to process. "Mom, why did you two have to get divorced?" Tina pressed, her voice trembling. Laura had never wanted the divorce, but that jerk Samuel used her brother's embezzlement to threaten her. She couldn't refuse, even if she wanted to. She had never expected the man she slept next to could be so cold-hearted.

Samuel had promised her, and even signed an agreement with her, that as soon as he got Klein's investment, he'd take her back and remarry her. Laura could let Samuel off the hook for now/ But when it came to Whitney, she wasn't so forgiving. 'Since Whitney's been so heartless, she can't blame me for getting back at her,' Laura thought coldly. ***** Klein eyed Whitney, genuinely curious. "You and your dad are pretty much at war. You really don't want me to bail out your family's company?" he said. 17:38 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 138 Whitney didn't hesitate for a second. "Absolutely not!

Don't even think about it!" she said bluntly. "If you do, don't expect me to thank you," she snapped. There was just too much history between her and her father to sum up in a couple of sentences. She had no intention of getting into it with Klein. Klein looked at her eyes, pressing his lips, saying nothing. Since she didn't want to share, he wasn't about to push her. Still, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. นร 62 55 vouchers. So that night, Klein didn't let her rest until one in the morning, only letting her off the hook when she was utterly spent.

The next morning, Whitney, with dark circles under her eyes, pulled out a piece of paper and started laying down the law with Klein all over again. "Three times a week, max. Sign here," she said, shoving the paper at him. Klein just looked at her in silence. "Not signing. Three times a week? That's nowhere near enough," he protested. Whitney pointed to the dark circles under her eyes. "See these? I have to work! I can't keep staying up all night because of you." she complained. Klein refused to budge and said, "Then we'll just get started earlier.

I promise, you'll be asleep before midnight." Whitney just stared at him, speechless. She glared at him and snapped, "Seriously? Three times isn't enough for you?" "Come on, Whit, you can't expect me to get married and still have to rely on my right hand, can you?" Klein teased, his voice low and playful. Hearing his words, she couldn't help blushing. She really didn't want to, but she instantly got what he meant. "Five days a week, minimum. You get two days off. That's my final offer," Klein declared, not giving her a chance to protest. He bolted before Whitney could say a word.

This time, he was the one escaping first. But he kindly left his driver behind for her. Marco was waiting in the car. Whitney took one look at the over-the-top ride and shook her head. "Hey 17:38 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 138 Marco, can we take a different car?" she said. She definitely didn't want to show up at work making a scene. 56 vouchers Marco quickly got out of the car ans said, "Of course, Mrs. Harris. Which car would you like to take?" Whitney glanced around Klein's garage and said, "Just pick the cheapest one." Marco hesitated, looking a bit unsure. "Uh...

maybe this one?" This luxury van, worth $700,000, was actually the cheapest ride in the garage. It was literally the one the house cook used for grocery runs. Marco couldn't help but feel Mrs. Harris deserved better. "Or maybe... that one over there?" he said. Before he could finish his sentence, Whitney cut him off, "This one it is!" 'A Lexus? That's got to be the most down-to-earth ride in the whole Harris garage. Who knew Klein's family even had something this unflashy?' Whitney mused. Whitney hopped in and said, "Let's go, Marco. I'm already running late!" "Yes, Mrs.

Harris," Marco replied. 'Guess Mrs. Harris has to settle for this today,' Marco thought, feeling a little sorry for her. As luck would have it, Whitney bumped into Gina downstairs again today. This time, Gina finally got a good look at the car. 'So it's just a Lexus, huh? Bet that fancy ride from yesterday was probably just a rental,' Gina thought, feeling smug. Gina glanced at the older man behind the wheel and smirked. 'So that's Whitney's big catch? Just some run-of-the-mill old man. I guess all that hype was for nothing,' Gina thought, feeling even more superior.

'Wow, she really wasn't picky at all,' Gina sneered. "Whitney, fancy seeing you again! Was that your husband just now? He looks a lot older than you," Gina sneered. Whitney sometimes wished she could just slip Gina a bottle of poison and shut her up for good. "Gina, would you just blurt out whatever comes to mind in court too? No need to check the facts, just start spreading rumors?" Whitney shot back. "No matter how old my husband is, he's still younger than you, Gina. If you don't mind, maybe I'll start calling you Granny Parsons from now on?" Whitney added, her voice dripping with mockery.

As soon as Whitney said that, Gina's face soured like a litter box after a week. 田 Comment Send gift AD No Ads Dex Morgan Dex Morgan works to elevate each story with clean writing, emotional balance, and thoughtful flow for readers.
