Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 98 Chapter 98 E15 vouchers George and Sabrina took Carter and Emily around to toast the guests. James, not wanting to be the center of attention, slipped off to the lounge to calm his nerves. That left Klein, Whitney, and Lena at the table. Dustin and his friends came over with their drinks. "Hey, Klein! Hey, Whitney!" Oliver had totally underestimated Klein's resolve. He had never expected Klein to be this serious about Whitney. He lifted his glass and toasted, "Whitney, to you." Whitney knew Oliver didn't really think much of her.

He probably thought she wasn't good enough for Klein. Sure, their backgrounds were worlds apart, but she wasn't about to put herself down over it. Still, since Oliver was Joanne's boyfriend, she'd cut him some slack. Whitney's glass was filled with juice. Just as she was about to pick it up, Klein reached out and caught her hand. Klein said slowly, a little provocative, "Since she's my wife, you should drink it yourself after the toast." Oliver just stared at him, lost for words. 'What a petty man. And I even gave him a heads-up last time,' Oliver thought. Oliver downed his drink in one gulp.

Eric, trailing behind, wasn't as insensitive as Oliver. "Whitney, congrats." he said. Klein looked very satisfied, and turned his eyes to Dustin. "Your turn, Dr. Reed," Klein said. Dustin grinned and said, "Whitney, I wish you and Klein a lifetime of happiness!" Oliver and Eric were both speechless. No wonder he was the biggest bootlicker in their group! Lena watched Dustin being all dramatic and couldn't help but pout, thinking, 'Seriously, does he ever dial it down?" Once Dustin knocked back his drink, he shot a casual look at Lena, only to get a full-on eye roll from her. Then they left.

Seeing them toast, the rest of the crowd started lining up to butter up Klein. The whole wedding reception was starting to look a little ridiculous., Carter was making the rounds, toasting each table of guests, while everyone else was lining up to toast Klein. The contrast was pretty obvious. Carter finally couldn't hold it in and snapped, "Dad, is Uncle Klein here just to cause a scene?" George sighed and said, "Can't you tell? All those people are hoping to get something from your uncle." Carter was even more frustrated. "Come on, there are still many tables left.

Just keep toasting," George urged. 13:12 Wed, Dec 24 G Chapter 98 69 35 vouchers Initially, only two or three people came over to toast Whitney, but then more and more started showing up. She was just about ready to roll her eyes at the whole thing. Whitney felt like she'd used up every fake smile she had in her lifetime today. Klein caught on right away when he saw her frown in discomfort. "Alright, that's enough toasts. Save it for my wedding, okay? Everyone, back to your seats," Klein said. "Guys, you're gonna freak my wife out with this crowd," he added. Whitney was stunned.

For a split second, she honestly wanted to poison him mute. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, no, he's just joking." Lena tried not to laugh and shot Whit a wink. "Whit, Uncle Klein is savage with his comebacks." If Whitney weren't her bestie, she never would've known Uncle Klein could be so devious. There were so many people swarming their table that Samuel had been trying to get through, but couldn't even get close. Finally, once the crowd cleared out, got a chance to chat up his new son-in-law. Samuel's eyes crinkled up with laughter.

"Whit, seriously, how could you get married and not give your old man a heads- up?" he complained. Normally, Klein and Samuel were equals, but now Klein greeted, "Uncle Samuel." Samuel's body gave a little jolt. "Wow, I never thought Klein would actually end up with my daughter." "Just so you know, Klein, my daughter's got a temper. Hope you can handle her," Samuel added. Whitney frowned in irritation. She knew exactly why Samuel was cozying up. He was trying to get Klein to save the Moore family's company. "Oh? Bad temper? I don't see it.

Whit's honestly the most easygoing one in our family," Klein replied. 'Easygoing? Seriously?' Samuel nearly blew a fuse. 'She's driven me up the wall more times than I can count. "Oh, yeah, Whitney's got a kind heart, just like her mom," Samuel chuckled. The moment he mentioned Whitney's mom, her whole demeanor went cold. "Alright, Dad, what do you want?" she interrupted him bluntly, not bothering to hide her impatience. "Whitney, what's your problem? I'm talking to my son-in-law. Why are you butting in?" Samuel barked. Samuel was the classic alpha male.

He'd never taken his wife or daughter seriously. He called all the shots at home. So whenever Whitney talked back to him, he just couldn't take it. "Uncle Samuel, no need to get so worked up. Whit's just hungry. Why don't we let her eat first, and then we can talk?" Klein said. Samuel was genuinely shocked. He'd never expected Klein to care so much about Whitney, 13:12 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 98 25 Vouchers He forced a smile and said, "Sure. Whitney, go ahead and eat.

Another day, bring Klein home and we'll have a proper family get-together!" As soon as he walked away, Whitney scoffed, "Don't pay him any mind. He's just trying to take advantage of you." Whitney didn't give a damn whether AetherTech lived or died. Honestly, she was actually rooting for it to go bankrupt. "And what about you?" Klein teased with a grin. "Are you trying to take advantage of me?" They were flirting, acting like Lena was invisible. Lena just sat there, feeling like a total third wheel. 'It's really awkward, isn't it?' Lena thought. "Alright, I'll stop messing with you.

Do you want to stick around, or should we head home?" Klein asked. Whitney pursed her lips and said,"Shouldn't you say something to your family?" James didn't look too happy just now. And it wasn't just James. George and Sabrina looked pretty unhappy too. "Our marriage is just about you and me. No one else matters," Klein said, his voice firm. For most people, something like that sounded way too bold. Usually, marriage meant two families coming together, not just the couple. But Klein had the kind of power that allowed him to make his own rules.

"Let's go," Klein said, wrapping his arm around her waist. "Let's go home." "Lena, let James know we're heading out," he said casually. In the end, Lena had to shoulder it all. "Got it, Uncle Klein. Can I file for emotional trauma for this?" Lena joked. Klein didn't hesitate at all. He transferred two million dollars to Lena. "Take it," he told her. "Thanks, Uncle Klein! I'll take care of everything else!" Lena grinned.
