Chapter 119
At dinner, everyone except in and Whitney was feeling pretty miserable in their own way
James wanted to look out for his youngest son, but he didn’t want to break Carter’s heart either.
But honestly, people always end up favoring someone. It was tough for anyone to treat everyone exactly the same.
After dinner, Klein and Whitney left as usual to head back to the villa
Meanwhile, James called Carter into his study, his tone full of heartfelt concern.`
‘Carter, do you not want to be with Emily anymore?” James asked.
He sighed. “When your grandma was still around, she set up your engagement to Whitney from the Moore family. You agreed reluctantly.
But you never treated her right. You kept dragging things out and wouldn‘: even get the marriage certificate, leaving her hanging.”
I know you have feelings for Emily. But have you ever thought about why I didn’t want you two together?”
Back then, Emily wasn’t even an adult yet. If you’d rushed into things with her and people found out, how do you think th would make the Harris family look?
So you insisted on being with Emily, which led Whitney to call off the engagement. Now Whitney’s out of the picture, and you got what you wanted with Emily, but you’re still not satisfied?“,
Really think about it. Are you bothered because Whitney ended up with Klein, or is it just that Whitney got married at all? ames pressed.
But either way, she’s your aunt now. Even if you regret it, there’s no undo button in real life.
I’m not trying to put you down, but Klein isn’t the type to show mercy to anyone who covets his wife, even though you are
is nephew.”
ames had said all he needed to say. There was no point in saying anything more
Carter walked out of his grandfather’s study in silence. Seeing how down he looked, George was about to say y marching ha n the end, he just swallowed his words and let it go.
Sabrina tugged Emily into her room.
‘Emily, that’s just how Carter is. Don’t let it get to you, and seriously, don’t dwell on it Honestly, what mattery do yo that you two have a kid, you get me?” Sabrina said
Emily scoffed inwardly A kid? Seriously?
With the way Carter (real me now, does anyone really think having a baby would make him care aboos the her heart growing cokier
Emily couldn’t agree less
Bu just like Sabrina said she did need a child
It was just that the child was for securing her spot in the Harris family not for winding taperched

They pulled up at the lounge, and as Whitney got out, she called back, “No need to wait for me, you guys head home. I’ll just grab a cab later!
Worried about Joanne’s safety, Whitney dashed inside before Klein could even reply.
Klein let out a quiet chuckle.
Marco glanced at him in the rearview mirror. “Boss, are we waiting here?”
“Yeah, just wait,” Klein replied.
Klein opened up his laptop and started checking his emails.

Whitney hurried inside and spotted Joanne at the bar, chatting away with the bartender like they were old friends.
Joanne!” Whitney called out, giving her a friendly tap on the shoulder.
Whit! You finally made it!” Joanne snapped her fingers at the bartender. “Get my friend a Mint Julep.”
Got it!” the bartender replied.
Whitney quickly stopped her. “No way, I’m not drinking tonight. Just some water for me, thanks.”
Whitney was a total lightweight. Even the weakest drink would have her flat out after just one glass.
oanne looked bummed, but didn’t make a fuss. “Alright, just get her some juice, straight–up juice, nothing else.
Joanne, did something happen today?” Whitney asked, worried.
Not really. I’m just kinda down,” Joanne sighed. “Honestly, Whit, my family totally hated the idea of me joining the ntertainment world, but I just couldn’t help myself.
I live for the spotlight, you know? That rush when all eyes are on me. So I just went for it, didn’t even care if I’d ever get amous. After I met him, things got a little better for me, but honestly, it’s still nothing special.
