Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189

Emily had been in a great mood these past few days, and even her gaze toward Cupcake had grown much more affec

“Cupcake, come here, let Mommy hold you.” Emily said, her voice gentle.

The nanny, looking worried, passed Cupcake to Emily.

“Mrs. Harris, Cupcake might be getting sleepy right now,” she reminded softly.

Emily’s eyes turned cold. “What, I can’t even hold my own child without your permission?”

“No, no, I wouldn’t dare. I was just reminding you, in case Cupcake starts crying and it’s hard to get him to sleep later,” nanny said quickly.

Emily walked over to the window, Cupcake nestled in her arms. She thought, ‘If this whole thing really hits Whitney/ha and maybe even sends her spiraling into depression, that would be just what I want.’

She let her vicious thoughts take over, dreaming of a happy future with Carter.

But the moment she got a call, her face darkened instantly.

Emily’s grip around Cupcake’s waist tightened, making Cupcake start crying.

The nanny hurried over, her heart aching at the sight of Cupcake’s discomfort.

But after just being scolded, she had to choose her words carefully, “Mrs. Harris, maybe I should hold Cupcake for you, won’t disturb you.”

Emily clenched her phone, let out a cold snort, and handed Cupcake over. “Take him a bit farther away.”

Emily unlocked her phone and saw the trending list blowing up. She narrowed her eyes.

Who would’ve thought Whitney would actually fight back, Emily mused.

‘But with such a lame comeback? People online won’t buy it,’ Emily thought with a sneer.

Just like Emily had predicted, the moment Riley posted the legal notice on Whitney’s behalf, a flood of furious netizens came out swinging in the comments.

Wow being a lawyer makes you special now? You wanna sue us for slander? Which part was slander, huh! Care to explain?]

[Lawyers aren’t supposed to twist the law just to ruin someone’s life! Seriously, how are you any better than a cruminal?]

[Go on, sue us! Think you can silence everyone? There’s way too many of us for you to handle’]

Whitney stayed calm and banded all the evidence over to the police

“Ms. Moore, we’ve received everything, but the suspect, Kane Boone, is currently abroad. It he doesn’t return, cross-border enforcement will be tricky the officer explained.

Just then, Klein walked into the station “No need Kane Boone’s already back in the country’

Whitney raised her brows in surprise and then smiled.

Bet Klein Harris had his people drag him back, Whitney mused.

Klein shot her a wink. Her husband was amazing.

“Alright, Mr. Harris, do you know where Kane Boone is right now?” the officer asked.

Klein replied unhurriedly. “I’m bringing him in to turn himself in.”

***

Kane Boone had just arrived at a casino and was lost in the glitz and glamour of its nightlife.

He didn’t even remember he’d just pushed his own cousin over the edge.

Casinos, bars, and every kind of nightspot became places he just couldn’t get enough of.

He was living the high life. But one day, while he was lying naked in bed, a group of armed men suddenly burst in and dragged him out at gunpoint.

Kane was left completely dumbfounded.

He begged for mercy, and even tried to bribe them, but the gunmen didn’t even budge.

Just when William thought it was all over for him, they forced him onto a plane back home.

As soon as the plane touched down, Klein’s men were there waiting for him.

“Mr. Boone, please come with us to the station and turn yourself in,” one of them said, voice cold and polite.

“Turn myself in? Are you nuts? I didn’t kill anyone!” Kane protested.

The man just smirked. “Funny how big shots like you always forget things. Sure, you didn’t kill anyone, but kidnapping an rape? Still illegal.”

Only now did Kane realize that they’d brought him back for this.

The internet was in a frenzy, and by the afternoon, the police dropped an official update a suspect had been arrested, and there was fresh progress in the case involving Tina Moore who jumped from a building.

It was only then that Whitney posted two suicide notes online.

She didn’t add a single word of explanation.

That afternoon, Emily was still napping when she got a call from Conrad Boone. “Emily, something’s happened”

“You gotta hrip me!

Emily blinked, confused “What, Mr. Boone? Aren’t you being a bit dramatic?

Conrad cut straight to the point. “Don’t play dumb Fina’s tried to end things a bunch of times and never went through with it. But after seeing you, she suddenly come up with this wild way to die and even lett a suicide note. If you didn’t put the idea

in her head, then who did?

“Pushing someone to suicide is a crime, you know. And you and Whitney are basically family. Once Klein Harris finds out, you really think he’ll just let you walk away?”

Emily’s blood was boiling. She couldn’t believe how shameless the Boone family could be.

They were gutter rats, absolutely revolting.

truth speaks for itself!”

Emily wasn’t falling for it.

Conrad was recording the whole thing, and he was annoyed as hell that he hadn’t gotten anything useful.

But before he could even try to clear his son’s name, the police came for him too.

All of his assets were frozen and investigated, with bribery charges hanging over his head.

With two family members taken down at once, William felt like he’d aged ten years overnight.

“Wiliam, your brother is such a piece of work. Be honest with me. You didn’t get mixed up in any of their shady busines did you?” someone asked.

William’s face was grim. “Hell no! They only told me after everything blew up. Seriously, how did I end up with a brothe like that, and a nephew who’s dumb as a rock?”

With two members of the Boone family hauled off, everyone else was walking on eggshells, scared they might be next.

Only then did the furious netizens realize they’d been flaming the wrong person all along.

But there were still some conspiracy theorists who kept hounding Whitney, and they all got slapped with another batch c lawyer letters.

*****

“Whitney, I’ll file the lawsuits at court tomorrow, starting with these three groups of netizens,” Riley said.

Whitney smiled. “Thanks, Riley.”

“Oh, Riley, would you like to have dinner tonight?”

Riley already had other plans, so she politely declined.

That night, Klein took Whitney back to Harris Manor for dinner.

When Lena heard Whitney was going back, she volunteered to tag along.

Sabrina, who’d been throwing shade at Whitney just a few days ago, clammed up once she realized it was all a misunderstanding.

Lena couldn’t help but tease, “Aunt Sabrina, you’re unusually quiet today.”

“Aunt Sabrina, aren’t you always glued to your phone, catching up on all the gossip? Did you hear about the Boone family getung Caugh

Sabrina said with an awkward smile, “Oh really? I haven’t really checked my phone lately”

“Oh, you haven’t checked your phone?” Lena said, her voice full of sarcasm. “No problem, let me fill you in. Tina’s death had absolutely nothing to do with Whit. It was all the Boone family’s own disgusting business. Some netizens just believe any rumor they hear and blindly follow the crowd, without a shred of ability to tell right from wrong.”

Aunt Sabrina, people like that are really shallow, don’t you think?” Lena added, her tone mocking.

Whitney had to stifle a laugh, while Sabrina looked absolutely mortitied.
