Klein glanced at his phone, noticing a string of missed calls. With a cold shake of his head, he decided to delegate the message, instructing someone to inform the caller that he was in a meeting and unable to provide a timeline for when he would be free. Ryan, who was well aware of the underlying tension in the situation, recognized the ruthless nature of Mr. Harris, especially when it came to his son. He thought about how Klein had never let his niece off the hook either; it seemed he had a knack for dealing with both of them in one fell swoop.

Deep down, Ryan understood that this entire mess was rooted in Whitney's actions. Once again, he found himself acknowledging just how much Whitney meant to Klein. Carter was growing increasingly frustrated. He had tried to reach Klein, but the man was unavailable, immersed in a meeting that seemed to stretch on endlessly. In a moment of desperation, he dialed his father's number, only to find that his father was also unreachable, caught up in a figurative fog, with his phone switched off. Carter glared at the blinking message on his phone screen.

"Canter, did you reach Uncle Klein?" His irritation bubbled over. Everything had been relatively smooth until that trending topic erupted, throwing Carter's world into chaos. If it hadn't been for Brilly, he wouldn't have wasted even a second on any artists in his father's company. But despite stepping in personally, he still couldn't quell the storm of the trending topic. The higher-ups at Facebook had connections to Uncle Klein, so Carter had hoped he could leverage that to his advantage. Yet, he had only discovered that Klein was stuck in a meeting, a fact that left him fuming.

The ominous term "playjarum" had been stuck at the top of the trending topics for five agonizing hours. Each passing moment was another blow to Emily's reputation, and the pressure was mounting. Unable to bear the waiting any longer, Emily finally reached out to Carter. "Carter, can't you talk to Uncle Klein's assistant? Just tell him you need to see Uncle Klein urgently," she urged, her voice laced with anxiety. Carter, on edge, replied sharply, "Of course I did! You know how Uncle Klein is. He absolutely despises anyone interrupting him during meetings, and he wouldn't answer calls himself.

Even Ryan wouldn't dare disturb him unless it was a matter of life or death." As he hung up, Carter's mind raced with frustration. 'How could I possibly dare to bother him?' he thought. After all, it was merely about a trending topic. There was no way he would drag Grandpa into something so trivial. That would only serve to make Grandpa dislike Emily even more, and he would end up embarrassing himself in the process. If he couldn't even manage a trending topic, how could he still lay claim to the Harris name?

Emily's voice trembled as she spoke, "Well, what do we do now?" Carter felt his heart ache. He couldn't hold back any longer. "Emily, didn't you say you wrote that song specifically for me?" 'How did it suddenly get accused of plagiarism?' he wondered, a knot forming in his stomach. Emily was taken aback, her words failing her. "Carter, let me explain! I swear I didn't copy anyone. I really have no idea how this happened... I just don't know," she stammered, panic lacing her voice. When a man is deeply in love, his girl's tears feel like priceless pearls.

But when that love fades, those tears become a suffocating weight. "Emily, please stop crying, okay? I'm doing my best. Just give me a little time. Crying won't solve anything," Carter implored, his voice softening. "If this doesn't work out, just stay at home after we get married. Showbiz is just too messy for you," he added, his heart heavy with concern. Emily froze, disbelief washing over her. 'Carter promised he'd give me anything I wanted. Why is he saying that?' she thought, feeling utterly lost.

'Is he really telling me to give up just because of my first setback in showbiz?' Emily's anger flared. 'No way!' she told herself defiantly. "Okay, Carter, I won't cry. I'll behave and just wait for your update, okay?" Emily said, forcing herself to sound brave. Carter rubbed his temples, fatigue etched on his face. "Alright," he replied, though his heart felt heavy. Inside the office, Carter paced restlessly, puffing on a cigarette, frustration radiating from him. "Hey, who's smoking in here? Did you forget Mr. Harris's no-smoking policy?" someone complained, breaking the tension.

One of the admin girls, working late, pushed open the office door and halted in her tracks upon seeing Carter. "Oh, Mr. Harris, it's you," she said, surprise evident in her voice. "What is it?" Carter snapped, irritation dripping from his tone. Tonight, he was a far cry from the easygoing man everyone had come to know. "No, nothing!" she stammered, beginning to back out. But then, she hesitated and nervously reminded him, "Well, Carter, Mr. Harris really doesn't like people smoking in his office..." Carter felt his annoyance boil over. This was Harris Group HQ, not just Uncle Klein's domain.

His father was a big boss here too. 'Seriously? I can't even light up in my own family's company?' he thought, frustration mounting. The admin girl stole a glance at Carter, his handsome features now hardened into a cold, intimidating mask. She couldn't help but feel a flutter of nervousness. Ryan, noticing the tension, approached with a calm demeanor. "What's going on here?" he asked, concern in his eyes. "Mr. Ward, I was just reminding Mr. Harris that smoking isn't allowed in the office..." the girl explained, her tone slightly defensive.

'So, Carter's polite and easygoing side was just for show,' the admin girl thought, a hint of bitterness creeping in. 'How typical. All these trust-fund kids are just alike,' she muttered under her breath. Ryan glanced at Carter, who was still puffing away, and said, "Alright, I've got this. You can head home now." With a calm smile, Ryan reassured Carter, "Please don't take it personally, Carter. Mr. Harris is serious about the no-smoking policy around here. Even the top executives and board members have to follow it, including your father." When Ryan mentioned "Mr.

Harris," he was referring to Carter's father, a fact that only fueled Carter's ire. Carter felt his pride take a hit, his anger simmering beneath the surface with nowhere to release it. He roughly stubbed out his cigarette, snapping, "Happy now?" Ryan simply smiled and replied, "Sure." "Wait, when is Uncle Klein's meeting supposed to end?" Carter asked, his tone still sharp. He was still irked about having to extinguish his cigarette. Ryan's voice softened slightly as he said, "Carter, I'm afraid I don't have the authority to interfere with Mr.

Harris's meetings." Carter was left speechless, frustration boiling over. 'Seriously, could this day get any worse? I've had enough of this nonsense,' he thought, feeling utterly defeated. It wasn't until eleven at night that Klein finally called Carter into his office, where Carter was practically on the verge of exploding. "Carter, Ryan mentioned you had something urgent. What's going on?" Klein asked, his voice calm and unhurried as he slipped on his suit jacket and adjusted his tie, embodying a sense of detachment.

Carter pursed his lips, knowing better than to show any displeasure in front of Klein. "Uncle Klein, someone's been deliberately smearing Emily today, accusing her of plagiarism and even paying to make it a trending topic. I tried to get it removed, but nothing worked. Could you talk to your contacts and help me get it taken down?" Carter's voice trembled with anxiety. Klein regarded Carter with a long, meaningful look before responding, "So you're telling me Emily didn't copy anyone?" "Of course not," Carter fidgeted, suddenly feeling uncertain under Klein's inscrutable gaze.

"Uncle Klein, you know she's had it rough her whole life. People have been dragging her online all night. Do you know how bad she's feeling?" Carter's concern was palpable. "Well," Klein nodded, his voice calm and distant, "it's tough for her, sure. But the entertainment industry is ruthless. If she can't handle it, Carter, maybe you should tell her to give up before it gets any worse? Besides, you can't protect her from everything, can you?" Klein's words were blunt and matter-of-fact, cutting deeply. Carter was momentarily stunned.

'Is he implying that I'm useless?' Carter thought, embarrassment flooding over him. "Alright, I'll make some calls. If that's all, you can head out," Klein said, his voice steady and unyielding. Carter let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks, Uncle Klein," he said, his voice wavering slightly. "Don't mention it. We're family," Klein replied, his tone understated yet genuine. But as Carter walked away, he couldn't shake the feeling that when Uncle Klein sounded so perfunctory, it was as if he was just saying it to dismiss him. Was he imagining things, or did Klein really not mean it at all?

As soon as Carter exited, Ryan walked in. "Mr. Harris, should I get that trending topic taken down?" Ryan inquired, his tone professional. Klein raised his eyebrows nonchalantly and replied, "What's the hurry? If she's got the guts to plagiarize, she should be tough enough to take the heat." "But... you just agreed to help Carter," Ryan said, sounding a bit uneasy. "Agreed to what? I only said I'd make some calls, not that I'd actually get the trending topic taken down," Klein replied, his voice calm and dismissive, leaving no room for argument.

Klein was always meticulous, never leaving a single loose end. Carter had just stepped into the parking lot when a message from one of his associates popped up on his phone. [Carter, we've discovered that Ms. Whitney Moore has been spending a lot of time with that man named Jay Lockson lately.] Carter's eyes narrowed instantly. 'Wait, could Whitney be the one pulling the strings behind all this?' he thought, a surge of suspicion hitting him like a cold wave. Conclusion In the aftermath of the chaos surrounding Emily's reputation, Carter finds himself grappling with a whirlwind of emotions.

The pressure of familial expectations weighs heavily on him, as he feels the sting of inadequacy in the presence of his powerful uncle. Klein's dismissive attitude only amplifies Carter's frustration, leaving him torn between loyalty to his family and his desire to protect the woman he loves. The realization that Emily's struggles echo his own fears of failure creates a poignant connection between them, yet it also drives a wedge of doubt.

As he watches the world around him crumble, Carter is forced to confront the harsh reality of their situation: love in the face of adversity is a double-edged sword, and sometimes, the very people who should uplift us can inadvertently deepen our wounds. Meanwhile, Emily's determination to stand her ground in the face of adversity reveals a strength that Carter had underestimated.
