Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 223 Chapter 223 93 55 youchers Every night, Emily and her inmates would get together to watch the local news. She kept waiting, hoping Lucas would pull off some kind of surprise for her. She could hardly wait to see Whitney's name pop up on the news, taken out by Lucas at last. Emily had never expected that the little boy she'd once offhandedly asked her parents to sponsor would actually show up to visit her in prison. Lucas was her last resort, the final card she could play against Whitney. Now, Emily had been moved to the same cell as Laura, and the two of them were cellmates.

Laura seemed eager to please Emily, probably because she'd heard how much Emily had helped Tina out, always looking out for her. So lately, Emily's days had been pretty comfortable, at least compared to her first days inside. Of course, it was still worlds apart from the life she had outside. Every second she spent behind bars, her hatred for Whitney only grew stronger. Too bad, the news still didn't mention what Emily had been waiting for.

Laura asked, curiosity in her voice, "Emily, you always get so into the news every night." Emily smiled awkwardly and said, "Yeah, I just want to know what's happening out there. You'll be out soon, Laura, but I've still got a long stretch ahead of me." There was a shadow hanging over Laura. Ever since she found out her daughter had died, she hadn't cracked a smile. Not that she'd smiled much since landing in here, anyway. With her only reason for living gone, Laura couldn't bring herself to smile anymore. "Laura, when you get out, head to my apartment. There's some cash in the safe.

Feel free to use if you need it," Emily said. If she wanted Laura to help her get revenge on Whitney, double the payback, she had to put some real skin in the game. Laura's lips parted, and she said slowly, "Okay." With Laura on her side, Emily knew Whitney was bound to suffer. ***** Klein headed back to see George. "George, here's all the dirt I dug up about what's really going on," Klein said. "You're my brother, so I'm telling you first. Emily's going to die. Brace yourself.

If you're still holding onto any old feelings for your adopted daughter, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. I'm not going to stop." "Klein, you..." George started, his voice uncertain. "Sorry, but she's a wild card," Klein replied. "Even behind bars, she'll do whatever it takes to cause trouble for Whitney. "She feels no remorse and pins all the blame on my wife. I won't stand for it anymore. 16:55 Thu, Jan 1 M Chapter 223 56 yalustrira "I'm Whitney's husband, and the father of her unborn children. Anything that could threaten her life, I'll nip it in the bud.

"You can talk to Carter if you want, but nothing and no one will change my mind." Klein came to inform his brother out of respect. George knew that once Klein made up his mind, no one could stop him. George let out a sigh. "Sorry, I guess I didn't do a good job raising her. Do whatever you think is best." Meanwhile, Carter, who was abroad, got a call from his father. "Carter, Emily's gone way too far this time," George said, his voice heavy. "She tried to hurt your aunt Whitney, so Uncle Klein isn't going to let her get away with it.

Just be prepared." Carter's feelings were all over the place. "Is Aunt Whitney okay?" "Whitney's alright, but she's gotta stay in the hospital for a week. She's been through hell, and almost didn't make it. Don't feel bad, Carter. Some things are just out of our hands. We..." "We've already done more than anyone could ask," George finished. After hanging up, Carter just sat there in a daze, staring blankly for a long time. His memories of Emily were slipping away, and her face was little more than a shadow now. But every smile and every frown from Whitney was burned into his bones.

"I'm sorry. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters," Carter murmured. Sadly, no one would ever hear his quiet confession. ***** Laura was called out. Someone had come to visit her. 'If only it was my daughter,' Laura thought, but she knew that was just wishful thinking. Emily couldn't help but think, 'Who'd even bother visiting Laura now? Her daughter's gone, and she's got no one left. Half an hour later, Laura came back. "Laura, how was it? Who came to visit you?" Emily asked. Laura shook her head and said, "My older brother." Emily said, "Well, what did your brother say?

Did he bring up Tina at all?" If the Boone family were in their right mind, they wouldn't come clean. After all, they were the reason Tina was gone. "Nothing," Laura said, her expression flickering for a moment. ***** Townsend came to check on Whitney at the hospital." He was eaten up with guilt. afraid Klein would drag him into this mess Chapter 223 "Whitney, are you alright? I'm so sorry. We didn't do a thorough enough background check on the new hire, and you ended up suffering because of it," Townsend said. He'd only brought Lucas in because a friend vouched for him.

He'd never imagined it would blow up like this. Whitney gave a gentle smile. "It's really okay, Mr. Barton. This isn't on you." But with Klein standing there with a cold face, Townsend held his breath nervously. Whitney noticed Townsend sneaking glances at Klein and knew exactly what was going on. She gave Klein a knowing look and chuckled, "Mr. Barton, have some fruit." Klein responded with a nod and got up to get a banana for Townsend. Townsend was a bit taken aback by the gesture. "Thanks, Mr. Harris, I can do it myself." After Townsend left, Klein gave a little huff.

Whitney couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't be so petty." Klein raised his eyebrows. "Petty? Me? He's the one who hired that guy. He couldn't even find someone decent. He's the one who should take responsibility!" Good thing he had sensed something was off about Lucas and asked Whitney to transfer him out. Otherwise, things could've turned out even worse. "Alright, don't be mad," Whitney said, her voice soft and soothing. She nuzzled her cheek against his palm, acting all sweet and playful for once. "Honey, I knew you'd come for me. Thank you.

I promise I'll be extra careful and keep our babies safe from now on." Klein gently traced her lips with his thumb. "Don't say that. You're more important to me than the babies." Whitney leaned in close, whispering in his ear, "Honey, I love you. I love you even more than I ever imagined." "I was scared of losing you, and I was scared of losing our babies. I was so afraid I'd never see you again." It was the first time Klein had ever heard Whitney say she loved him, and he felt absolutely ecstatic.

"Say it again, honey," Klein said, cupping her face in his hands, wanting to see her face clearly. Whitney's cheeks flushed as she murmured, "I love you, Klein. I love you so much." Klein kissed her, gentle and careful. "I love you too. I really, really love you," he whispered. A week later, when Whitney found out that Emily had died in prison, she was stunned. She cocked her head, giving Klein a curious look. "Honey, did you..." "Yeah. I just had someone tell Laura the whole story of how Tina ended her life. I didn't do anything else," Klein replied.

All Klein did was plant a seed of hatred in Laura's heart. 16:55 Thu, Jan Chapter 223 17TA He hadn't expected her to actually do anything. But things had turned out just like he thought they would. "Are you scared of me?" Klein asked. Whitney wasn't some heartless person. No way she'd be scared of the man who always had her back. She shook her head and said, "Honey, this has nothing to do with you. You didn't do anything. Emily brought this on herself." If Emily hadn't been so fixated on getting back at her, maybe she could've had a shot at a happy ending.

But life didn't give anyone do-overs. 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads 16:56 Thu, Jan 1 M ETEA admin
