Chapter 192

Whitney, to her own surprise felt a sudden sense of relief.

“Honey, don’t get too anxious. Let’s just go with the flow, alright?” she said.

Klein nodded. He realized he indeed had been a bit too impatient

That day, Dustin teased him, saying that he’d literally be an old man when his daughter grew up

Klein was so pissed he gave Dustin the silent treatment for two days straight.

He was thirty-four now. Even if everything went perfectly, he probably wouldn’t have a kid until he was thirty-five or thirty

1 six.

By the time his daughter turned twenty-four, he’d be sixty.

He couldn’t help but wonder if his daughter would think he was too old.

For the first time in his life, Klein felt a wave of anxiety wash over him.

Dustin had lit the fuse and then just walked away, leaving Klein to stew in his own thoughts.

But for the following three days straight, Dustin kept receiving caring messages from Klein.

[Reasons Why Having a Son Is the Best.]

[Bring on the Sons! Give Me All the Sons!]

[Round Belly, Pointy Belly, Sometimes It’s Just Wrong!]

Dustin just wiped his screen clean and deleted every single message. No way was he falling for that.

He wouldn’t even click on them!

Lena and Whitney had no idea about the silly rivalry brewing between those two.

The next day, Whitney showed up in court on behalf of the victim.

The defendant, meanwhile, seemed completely unfazed.

After a heated round of arguments in court, Whitney thought to herself. Having a daughter really does take twice the energy compared to raising a son.

She would have to make sure her daughter grew up with the right values and plenty of love, so she wouldn’t just nun of wh the first man who snapped his fingers.

“Ms. Brooke, let’s wait and see what the verdict is after the first trial. Whitney said

“Thank you, Ms. Moore. Do you think we have a good chance of winning Ms. Brooke asked.

Whitney smiled. “It’s up to how the judge sees it. We’ve given all the evidence we could and that surveillance footage reall

works in our favor.”

“Don’t stress too much. Take your daughter out, let her relax a bit. No matter what help her find her way forward Wines

ded.

Ms. Brooke brushed away her tears. “Alright, we wilt. Thank you, Ms. Moore, Ms Geller

Whitney had no clue what was going on between Riley and her daughter, and she knew better than to ask on many questions.

It was Riley’s privacy after all.

For the first time, Whitney especially hoped they’d win this case. If that punk ended up behind bars, maybe Riley’s dates would finally see things for what they really were.

These past few weeks at Harris Manor, things had been pretty peaceful.

Sabrina hadn’t been throwing any shade either, and everyone was just getting along.

One day, as Whitney walked past the storage room, she happened to overhear two maids gossiping.

“Poor Cupcake, getting sick out of nowhere like this. He’s so little, and he’s cried so much that her voice is hoarse I feel so bad for him,” one maid sighed.

“Didn’t they say it was just a cold? Kids under three are always catching something. My grandson’s the same. Just a little breeze and he’s coughing,” the other maid said.

“Oh, please. He wouldn’t even be sick if his mother wasn’t so reckless. Who takes a baby that small out on the bakuny to catch the wind? Seriously, what was she thinking? Sometimes I wonder if Cupcake is even her own kid,” the first mand whispered.

The maids’ gossip got Whitney wondering if something was up

Could Cupcake really not be Emily’s biological child?’ Whitney thought.

But Whitney had seen Emily’s baby bump with her own eyes. No way she could have faked that

Besides, there were always people keeping an eye on her.

Whitney didn’t take it to heart.

But three days later, while Whitney was chilling in a café, she caught sight ofEmily, masked up, at the street comer, caught up in some heated exchange with a foreign man.

Whitney couldn’t really see Emily’s face, but from the foreigner’s body language, he was clearly pissed off

Eventually, Emily hailed a taxi and left.

The foreigner, still fuming, started kicking the trash can next to him, over and over

Whitney squinted suspiciously and snapped a quick pic on her phone

[Honey, can you help me find out who this man is?]

Not long after, Klein called her.

“Who is that guy? Why do you want to look into him? Did he bother you or something” Klein fired off sounding all je dotes

and protettive.

Whitney couldn’t help but laugh, amused by how dramatic Klein was being

Come on, what are you thinking? I just need to look into someone for a case. If you can help H Whitney baited him, deliberately trying to rile him up

Men just couldn’t stand being baited.

I can do it. Don’t go asking anyone else, baby. From now on, you come straight to me. Klein said, wounding all

Whitney let out a chuckle. “Way to go, Mr. Reliable.”

t had been exactly a month since the last court session, and the verdict finally came its Whitney was more than cariste with the outcome.

Cases like this, alcohol-fueled assaults where the woman was too drunk to resist, always made it tough to prove whetiver it was really against her will. Good thing there was surveillance footage to back it up.

The client, who was on a trip, was thrilled when she heard the news.

Thank you so much, Ms. Moore. I really can’t thank you enough!” she said, her voice full of gratitude.

Whitney smiled. “You’re welcome. It’s what I’m here for, really. The other side might still appeal, so just wait for the notor For now, go have some fun.”

That was the first bit of good news Whitney got today.

The second bit of good news was that Riley and her daughter had patched things up. Her daughter had only just started lating that guy, and he got caught up in legal trouble before anything could really happen.

Honestly, it was a blessing in disguise.

van and Riley invited Whitney out for dinner.

Thank you, Whitney,” Riley said earnestly.

Whitney quickly waved her off. “Come on, Riley, you’re making it sound way too serious. I didn’t really de much, honestly, I got some solid criminal defense experience out of it. If anything, I should be thanking you

Ivan chuckled. “Alright, enough with the thank-yous! I’ve told you, you don Aneed to be so polite with as apprentice

Whitney gasped as she suddenly spotted the rings on their fingers “Wait. Boss, does this pican

Ivan held Riley’s hand and said proudly, “Yes, we got married!”

Whitney was genuinely thrilled for them

Her nose stung a little with emotion “Congratulations. Boss. Riley! Boss, you timally tied the know about nume you ser

Ivan frowned, thinking, Why does it sound like I couldn’t get married all this time

“Hey, watch your mouth! I’m still a hot commodity, you know,” he said, trying to sound all confident

Men and their egos, age doesn’t change a thing.

Whitney just kept quict. With ly in being such a classic straight guy, Townsend had toed setting him up but he’d managed to scare every single one of them off

Ivan scratched his head awkwardly, looking a bit sheepish. “Let’s keep it real, okay? Don’t blow it out of proprimion to som sounds fake.”

Riley waved it off with a gentle smile. “It’s fine. What I like about Ivan is that he genuine A bule awkward with actually kind of endearing. At least he’s not the type to play games.”

Whitney held back her laughter and stopped with the teasing.

When Whitney got home, she hadn’t even had a chance to share the good news with Klein before he shot her & message with all the details he’d uncovered.
