Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Early the next morning, Carter headed straight to Whitney's apartment. E 10 Youshers Since Whitney had blocked his number, he slipped into the elevator with an older man and made his way upstairs. He kept pressing the doorbell, but after ringing it over and over, no one answered. Whitney's neighbor couldn't help but shoot him a few curious looks. "It's you again, kid!" the neighbor said, eyeing him. Carter had gotten an earful from her last time he showed up early and rang the doorbell, so he played it cool this time.

"Miss, do you know if the girl who lives here came back yesterday?" he asked politely. The way he addressed the neighbor, an old lady, made her smile. "Ha! 'Miss'? I'm old enough to be your grandma, you know!" she replied with a grin. She beamed, "You mean that pretty girl who lived here? Are you her friend? Well, she packed up and left yesterday!" "That girl's gorgeous, and her boyfriend's a real looker too! He showed up with a whole crew to help her move out. It was quite the scene! You're her friend, and you didn't know about it?" the neighbor teased. Carter's expression soured.

"Ma'am, are you sure? You mean her boyfriend came to pick her up?" As soon as he switched to calling her 'Ma'am,' her smile faded. "What, you don't believe me? That girl's boyfriend is seriously handsome. No wonder you got dumped! Honestly, guys who are too petty just get left behind!" With that, she wheeled her cart into the elevator and headed out to do her shopping nearby. Carter was left standing there, his face flushing. He had always thought Whitney would be by his side, loving him no matter what. But before he even realized what was happening, she was already out of his life.

Carter couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Whitney might be seeing another man. He called up, his tone cold and sharp, "Look into who Whitney's new boyfriend is." An hour later, after Carter arrived at the office, his assistant finally tiptoed in, looking like he was about to face a firing squad. "So, did you find anything?" Carter shot his assistant a cold sideways glance. "Mr. Harris, nothing yet. There's no sign that Ms. Moore has a boyfriend. But... there is something else," the assistant stammered. Carter said with a frown, "Out with it." "It seems your father found out that Ms.

Moore was involved in the copyright infringement case. He sent someone to PrimeBridge Law Firm to inform them, and now Ms. Moore has been suspended," the assistant explained. "What?" Carter was stunned. 'How could Dad be so thoughtless?' Carter thought, frustration bubbling up inside him. 'No wonder. If Whitney finds out Dad was behind all this, she's going to be even less likely to talk to me, Carter thought, feeling a wave of helplessness wash over him. 13:09 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 89 "See if you can get Townsend Barton to have dinner with me," Carter said.

Carter barked. But Mr. Barton's phone was constantly engaged. Calvin picked up on the weird vibe immediately and called up Ivan. He couldn't believe it when he heard Whitney had already been suspended for a whole week. Calvin was floored. After Calvin got the whole story, he immediately reached out to Townsend. "Hey, Mr. Malone, is there some issue with our merger case?" Townsend asked. "Mr. Barton, with Mr.

Walton in charge, everything's running smoothly. I just heard something though. Did Mr. Harris get in touch with you recently?" Calvin asked. "Mr. Barton, our investment projects have always been managed directly by the CEO. Mr. Harris doesn't have any authority over our department," Calvin added. Both of them were sharp, and Calvin's well-placed reminder wasn't lost on Townsend. He got the message. "Mr. Malone, of course, Mr. Harris calls the shots. If there's anything we need to improve, just say the word," Townsend replied, keeping things polite but careful. "Oh, Mr. Barton, thanks.

But honestly, we're only here because of Mr. Walton and his team. I'm sure you know what I mean," Calvin said, making his point crystal clear. Calvin had made his point loud and clear. Townsend thought, 'Last time Calvin was already hinting at something because of Whitney, but now he's pushing even harder. At first, Townsend assumed Whitney and Calvin were close, but after Ivan promised there was nothing between them, Townsend dropped the idea. So when it came to handling a young lawyer like Whitney, Townsend didn't hesitate and he dealt with it swiftly.

But now, it turned out Ivan was the one who was actually close to Calvin. 'Ivan really kept this connection under wraps. He waited until the perfect moment to finally pull it out, Townsend thought. Townsend knew better than to mess with George, but Klein's right-hand man was just as untouchable. When it came down to who held more sway, it was definitely the right-hand man of the true power behind Harris Group. Townsend was no fool. He knew exactly which side his bread was buttered on. So, by the afternoon, Whitney got the news that she was back on the job.

Whitney had been ready to call in a favor from Klein and play the connections card, but to her surprise, everything got sorted out without her even lifting a finger. "Boss, you've got my back again," Whitney said, shooting Ivan a grateful look. 13:09 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 89 69 10 vouchers Ivan shook his head and said, "It wasn't me. Mr. Malone really went to bat for us. Seriously, he's a solid guy. I heard he kept hyping us up to Mr. Barton." Whitney's eyes flickered, but she didn't think too much about it. Either way, getting her job back was definitely a win.

"Come in tomorrow, and don't be late! Your spot on the merger project is still waiting for you," Ivan said. "Thanks, Boss! I'll be there bright and early!" Whitney replied. Before heading back to work, Whitney swung by her father's office with her marriage papers in hand. Samuel looked pained, and said, "The board passed the share transfer agreement. Just sign it." Whitney skimmed the document, checked the terms, and signed her name without hesitation. "Dad, get the paperwork done ASAP. Get the tax and business registration updated, pronto. I'm giving you one day.

That should be enough, right?" Whitney said. Samuel's heart skipped a beat. "Sweetheart, the tax office doesn't move that fast!" he said. "Alright, I'll pull some strings and get it done by your deadline," Samuel replied. Whitney smirked and said, "Alright, I'll come back once everything's changed over. Don't keep me waiting to see my name on the shareholder list." "Wait a sec! Whitney, did you and Klein make it official yet?" Samuel asked eagerly. "Dad, we had a deal. Once you transfer the shares, I'll go get married. How fast it happens is all up to you," Whitney replied.

Samuel couldn't believe how patient she was. She wasn't even worried about losing such a catch. "Alright! The latest is the day after tomorrow, so expect my call! As soon as the shares are transferred, I want proof you and Klein are married," Samuel insisted. Whitney grinned and said, "Sure thing, see you then." Good thing Samuel didn't have Klein's WhatsApp, and Klein only shared the news about their marriage on his private social feed, just close friends and business associates, less than a hundred people in total.

If Samuel had caught wind that they'd already tied the knot, he'd probably hold back most of the shares and maybe not even hand over 20%. Carter's assistant finally got Townsend on the line, only to find out Whitney was already back at work. "Mr. Harris, Ms. Whitney Moore's back at work," the assistant reported. "Good job," Carter replied. The assistant hesitated and said, "Actually, Mr. Harris, she was reinstated before I even called." Carter's eyes narrowed with suspicion. "Who's helping her?" he asked.

'Could it really be that mysterious boyfriend everyone keeps talking about?' Carter wondered, jealousy gnawing at him. Carter snapped the pen in his hand angrily. 13:09 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 89 ►M 20 vouchers 'Alright then. I'll find out who's really behind Whitney. Carter thought. his jaw clenched. "Mr. Harris, I've already booked the appointment for you and Ms. Moore to get your marriage papers tomorrow. Is everything still on the assistant asked.

Carter nodded and said, "Yeah, as planned." With the wedding coming up so soon, he really had no excuse to put off getting the marriage papers any longer. 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads 13:09 Wed, Dec 24 M.
