Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 142 Chapter 142 Laura was taken from her house by the police. E55 vouchers Tina was stunned. "What are you doing? My mom isn't a criminal! You can't just take her away!" The police officer kept the body camera rolling. "Laura Moore, we're just asking you to come down to the station to help with our investigation. If you refuse to cooperate, we might start thinking you've got something to hide." Laura's eyes flashed coldly, and she clenched her fists, but she kept her composure. "Tina, it's fine. I'll go with the officers and give my statement. I'll be back soon." she said.

"Your uncle will be coming over soon. Just tell him not to worry," Laura said. With that, Laura was taken away. Tina just stood there in a daze, watching as her mother was taken away. 'When my uncle supposed to get here?' Tina wondered. It finally dawned on her that this was what her mother wanted her to do. "Uncle William, the police just took Mom away! You have to think of something and get her out, quick!" Tina blurted out. When Laura was taken away, she was remarkably composed. The staff member at the dealership had pocketed her money, and he wasn't about to snitch on her.

Even if he did, there wouldn't be any real charges against her. She could always say she'd just lost her head for a moment, since Whitney was the one who had messed with her marriage in the first place. With Samuel stepping in to smooth things over, she was sure she'd be in the clear. If she ended up behind bars, it would definitely cast a shadow over her husband's company, even though the divorce was official now. But she had that fake divorce agreement tucked away. Samuel might be ruthless and opportunistic, but he was obsessed with his company's reputation.

But when the phone recording with April surfaced, Laura totally lost her cool. She was freaking out. The tape didn't just catch her telling April to spike Whitney's drink, and it even dragged up that mess with Whitney's mother from over twenty years ago. 17:39 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 142 "Laura Moore, anything you want to say now?" the officer pressed. Laura realized she'd been played. She forced herself to stay calm. "I'm not saying a word until I see my lawyer!" she said.

2900 1X 50 vouchers Her older brother William had worked in the courts for thirty years, and had finally worked his way up to district court chief. He reached out to the most famous criminal defense lawyer in Ravorport, hoping to get him to bail Laura out. 'Nothing can happen to Laura!' William thought anxiously. After all, his family would be counting on Samuel in the future. He had no idea that Laura and Samuel had already gone through with the divorce. "Mr. Boone, it's not that I don't want to help your sister. But word is out, if anyone dares to take Laura's case.

they'll be finished in Ravorport's legal scene," the lawyer said. William was stunned. "Who said that?" he asked. The lawyer said with a bitter smile, "Who else could it be? Mr. Boone, your sister went up against Mr. Harris's wife!" William had never paid much attention to Whitney, Laura's stepdaughter. But after Whitney married Klein, he had to admit she was someone to watch. No one could have imagined that after getting married, Whitney would actually have the nerve to plot against her sister. William was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Samuel was just as stuck.

"Dad, what are you waiting for? If you keep waiting, Mom's really going to end up taking the fall for something she didn't do!" Tina cried out. Samuel shook his head and said, "You don't understand. Nobody dares to take your mom's case right now!" 'What the hell am I supposed to do now?' Samuel wondered, frustration gnawing at him. He'd finally built a connection with Klein. Was he really going to throw away the chance to save the company just to bail Laura out? Even if news of Laura's arrest got out and caused a slight dip in the company's stock price, it wouldn't be much of a problem.

But they were already divorced. 17:39 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 142 Suddenly, Samuel realized how shrewd Whitney really was. 'Did she see this coming and make sure I divorced Laura ahead of time?' Samuel wondered. 61 R55 vouchers If that was true, then it showed she was sentimental. She still cared about their bond as father and daughter. Tina couldn't even begin to figure out what Samuel was thinking. All she knew was that she couldn't let her mother end up in jail. She couldn't stand the idea of people making snide comments behind her back about her mother being an ex-con.

'Who would ever want to marry me after that?' Tina thought, panic bubbling up inside her. "Dad, can't you get Klein to let Mom off the hook? Whitney's your daughter. Isn't she going to listen to you?" Tina pleaded. It was only now that Tina remembered Whitney was actually her half-sister. But whenever they were fighting or throwing shade, she'd never once admitted it. Samuel looked conflicted and said, "Tina, you're always at odds with Whit. You two never get along. Maybe you should go talk to her. Who knows, she might let your mom off the hook." "Me? Beg her?" Tina shook her head.

'No way am I going to beg that woman!' she thought. "Dad, she hates me and Mom, like she'd ever help us!" Tina protested. "Dad, even if I go, who knows what kind of drama she'd drag me into!" Tina added. "Dad, I'm not going!" Tina insisted. If Laura were here to see her daughter's scheming eyes, she'd certainly be very disappointed. Not only did she have a cold-hearted husband, but her daughter was a backstabbing little traitor too. Their so-called family bond fell apart at the first sign of trouble. Tina and Samuel were locked in a standoff, neither willing to make the first move.

***** Whitney also got a call from Ivan, checking in on her. "Whitney, I heard you got your stepmom locked up!" Carter said. Whitney was still hooked up to an IV. "Yeah, Boss, she totally had it coming!" After the wedding, Ivan found out that Whitney was actually the daughter of the man who owned AetherTech. In the world of the rich and powerful, there were always dirty secrets lurking beneath the surface. 17:39 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 142 61 R55 vouchers He didn't press for details, and just gave her a heads-up. "Laura knows someone in the courts. But someone put out the word.

No one's allowed to take her case. I heard they're even calling in reinforcements from abroad!" Whitney was surprised. "Who put out the word?" she asked. Ivan chuckled and said, "Who else could it be?" His tone was full of teasing. She blurted out the name without thinking. "It's Klein!". He was pulling strings for her again behind her back. Whitney pictured his cold, unreadable face and pursed her lips. He was always like this, always had her back, never making a fuss or saying a word. "Lucky you married Klein," Carter said. Only someone like Klein could shield her from trouble like this.

Whitney's feelings were all over the place. "I see, Boss," she replied. After hanging up, Whitney wondered to herself, 'How am I supposed to make it up to him?' 'Do I really have to try that thing Lena suggested?' Whitney wondered, feeling a bit awkward about it. ***** Klein was at the office, but his mind was miles away all day. He kept worrying. Was she settling in at the hospital? Was she getting any sleep? Was she eating properly? he kept fiddling with his pen, looking totally restless, while the CFO was going on and on about the quarterly report.

He tossed his pen aside and got up, frustration all over his face. The CFO practically jumped. 'Did I screw up a number somewhere?' the CFO thought, sweating a little. 'No way, that can't be it. We checked those reports a million times. There's no way anything's off!' he tried to convince himself. "The numbers are up this quarter, so why's Klein still in such a bad mood?' he wondered, totally confused. Just then, George poked his head in and said with a smile, "You guys look busy. I'll swing by later." 17:39 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 142 61 155 vouchers "George, it's fine. We're done here.

You can head out. Just send me a full financial breakdown to my inbox by tomorrow," Klein said. George plopped down with a grin. "Klein, you're really riding your team hard. The numbers this quarter look great, you know." he said. Klein wasn't in the mood to talk business with George right now, especially since he couldn't stand anyone telling him how to run things. "George, what's up?" Klein asked. George just smiled. "Well, I just heard Whitney's been stirring up a lot of drama lately." "Did she actually have Samuel's wife arrested?" "She totally had it coming!" Klein said.

George shook his head and said,"Yeah, but if she really gets her stepmother locked up, it's bound to stir up gossip, especially since you've basically blacklisted her stepmother from every lawyer in town." It was way too high-profile. That was what George was really getting at. Being so high-profile was just asking for trouble. Klein didn't even blink. "What's wrong with being high-profile? If someone tried to mess with Carter, wanted him gone, and even targeted your wife, could you really just let it slide?" he said. George was speechless.

"If you can put up with all that, then I've got to hand it to you. But sorry, I'm not built that way and I won't stand for it," Klein said. George fell silent. 'Why am I getting pulled into this?' he wondered.
