Carter’s office was soundproof, so even though Whitney had just been giving him a piece of her mind irade. Zoe didn’t a thing from outside.
Whitney strode out of the office with her head held high, leaving Zoe completely stunned.
“Wait, that’s it? Zoe thought, her mind spinning. She should he defeated. How is she still walking out like the
“Did Mr. Harris not yell at her? Is he really that chill?
What Zoe didn’t know was that Carter wasn’t holding back because he was chill. He just couldn’t win an argument agens Whitney.
Whitney stood outside waiting for the elevator. Her neck burned again after getting all worked up
“What’s wrong with Carter’s eyes?‘ she thought to herself. ‘Figures, he’s blind as a bat
A bitter smile tugged at her lips as she scoffed inwardly, ‘Wasn’t I just as clueless? Chasing after someone who never loved me for so long. How pathetic.
After Whitney had left, Carter’s office fell into a dead silence.
It wasn’t until a long moment later that Carter finally let out a breath. “Emily, don’t be upset. She’s always sharp–tongued Don’t worry, I won’t let her get away with bullying you. This isn’t over.”
With that, Carter dialed Samuel’s number.
Actually, Carter didn’t even need to say anything. Tina was already bawling her eyes out at Samuel’s office, her tears almost dried up.
“Dad, are you going to do something about Whit? Just look at me. My neck and collarbone are all red,” Tina wailed
“Dad, look at this huge blister. The doctor said it’ll take at least half a month to heal,” she sobbed.
Laura watched Tina cry and felt her heart shatter.
“Is Whitney trying to destroy Tina’s face?‘ Laura fumed inwardly, her anger boiling over.
“Samuel, every time Tina and Whitney got into a fight, I always sided with Whitney. But this time, she’s gone way too far Tina’s a girl. She has her whole future ahead of her,” Laura said, her voice shaking with anger and worry.
She was basically calling Whitney cruel without saying it outright.
Samuel’s face turned cold. “That brat. Just wait, I’ll call her right now.”
He tried calling three times, but Whitney didn’t answer.
Samuel called the nursing home directly. “Hi, this is Samuel Moore. I want to arrange for my mom to be discharged. Can you help me with that?”
“Uh…” The director hesitated. “But your daughter just paid for another month’s stay a few days ago. Are you sure you want to bring her home, Mr. Moore?”

Chapter 10
Klem fixed his deep gaze on Carter, his voice cool but cutting. “Whitney is your fiancée. Don’t tell me you didn’t know sh got hurt!
Suddenly, the dining room was shrouded in a dead silence.
“Klein, what exactly happened here?” James finally broke the silence.
Klein set down his fork, dabbed his lips with a napkin, and pulled out his phone. “My driver caught this on video the day before yesterday. Dad, take a look.”
Emily’s face drained of color as she shot to her feet, panic in her voice. “No, Uncle Klein, you’ve got it all wrong”
Klein’s tone was cool and unyielding. “Watch the video first. We’ll talk about it later.”
Everyone’s eyes locked onto his phone. A sharp female voice blared from the speakers, and then they saw a whole cup of steaming coffee hurled straight at Whitney’s chest.
It was obvious to anyone that Tina and Emily were the ones who started the whole thing.
Klein of course, didn’t show the part where Whitney threw coffee back at them.
Klein put on a faint, almost mocking smile. His lashes lowered, but the pressure in his gaze was unmistakable. “So, Emily, you didn’t tell Carter that you two started it first?”
