Chapter 146
Whitney thought Klein would ask more questions, but he didn’t He just agreed readily
He was giving her his full support, no questions asked
Just like they’d agreed before getting married. Klein was keeping his word
Whitney’s heart was tangled with complicated, bittersweet emotions. Even Klein fever said it out loud she knew he was head over heels for her.
Back at the villa, Whitney holed up in her room for two days before she finally started to feel like herself agai
At Harris Manor, Whitney ran into Carter, someone she hadn’t seen in ages.
Klein had gone to the study to talk to James. Whitney was strolling in the garden when Carter appeared
Whitney turned on her heel, instantly on guard, eager to get out of there as fast as possible.
She didn’t want any of the staff to see her alone with Carter, not even for a moment. She wasn’t about to give them even a second’s chance to start gossiping.
‘Whitney, why are you running away?” Carter called out.
Whitney looked at him with obvious disgust. “Stop right there, Carter. Don’t come any closer.”
Luckily, Lena walked in just in time to see what was happening.
‘Carter, what are you doing?” Lena called out.
Lena quickly stepped in, standing protectively in front of Whitney. Whitney finally felt relieved.
Having a third person there was all she needed.
Carter’s jaw clenched. “What are you two doing? I just wanted to say a few words.”
‘Carter, Whitney is married to Uncle Klein now! If you’ve got something to say, why don’t you say it in front of hun kena shot back.
Carter pursed his lips and said, “Whitney, do you really have to act like this?\
‘Are we not even allowed to have a normal conversation anymore?”
Whitney gave him a cold look and said,”Probably best not to. Wouldn’t want Klein getting the wrong sica’
“And you should be calling me Aunt Whitney Remember your place.”
Carter took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. “I heard about your family drama. Binuly and your sister are i Can’t you just drop it for me? We’re all family. Why make a scene?”
‘How typical. What nonsense is he talking? Whitney thought.
Whitney snorted and said, “Sorry, but you know this is my business, so it’s got nothing to do with you. If you think Fra istu too much, maybe you should pull an all-nighter, get a law degree, and represent her yourself. Sound good?”

You don’t have any pull with me anyway”
“And those lame jokes? Seriously, cut it out. Otherwise, you’re just making yourself look ridiculous
With that, Whitney took Lena by the hand and headed straight out, not giving Caner another glance
Carter felt frustrated. ‘Seems it’s not just that she doesn’t love me. She really despises me now he thought
I’m just trying to talk to her, but she acts like I’m some kind of enemy. Carter thought
And what does she mean? None of my business? I’m only looking out for her reputation! Carter thought, feeling unappreciated. ‘But she doesn’t even care.
‘Seriously, Carter is so full of himself! He still thinks things are like they used to be. I can’t evee Lena scoffint
Lena was just as mad as Whitney.
Just Carter’s self-important tone made Lena roll her eyes.
Just then, Klein stepped out of the study.
‘Uncle Klein!” Lena called out.
Whitney thought Lena was about to complain, so she quickly gave Léna a look and shook her head, signaling ter now anything.
As far as Whitney was concerned, Carter was just a nobody now, so there was no point in letting Klein get annoyed over someone irrelevant.
Klein caught them exchanging glances and said with a chuckle, “What are you two plotting over there
Whitney gave her friend a quick pinch. “Oh, nothing. She just missed you and wanted to call out to you, that’s l
Lena gasped. “Yeah, sure, Uncle Klein, I really missed you.”
Yeah, right. I miss the way he throws money around, Lena thought to herself.
James came downstairs. “Lena, is your mom coming back soon?”
Lena replied offhandedly, “I guess so.”
James knew things were awkward between Lena and her mom, so he didn’t push a
Whitney held Lena’s hand. Lena forced a simile and said. Tin time.”
‘What could even bother me at this point? Lena thought
It was just that her mom was getting remarried, again
This was her mom’s fifth wedding By now, Lena was just numb
Laura’s case was settled quickly. When the first verdict came down with the maximum sentence. Wtounes held the judgment

Samuel flinched. I’ll send her abroad tomorrow. Is that good enough for you?
“Send her abroad? That’s just a vacation. If you really want her to learn something I know a place out where life’s a little tough How about that, Dad?” Klein said coldly.
Samuel could tell that Tina had completely pushed Klein over the edge this time
He had no choice but to give in.
‘Sure,” Samuel replied, his tone resigned.
Tina stared at her dad, panic all over her face. “Dad, have you lost it? No way am I going? I’m not going ‘n wethe dutie sticks! This is straight-up kidnapping!”
