Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198

Emily felt like it was game ove for her.

Is there really no chance for Carter and me to get back together?’ she thought, her heart sinking.

How could I possibly get divorced?’ she wondered, panic rising in her chest.

She felt like a total loser, someone who’d been dealt a great hand but managed to mess it all up.

Emily’s mind raced through everything that had happened. ‘How did I end up like this?” she wondered, her stomach twisted with regret.

Suddenly, a striking and unforgettable face flashed through her mind.

‘It’s her! This is all Whitney’s fault!’ Emily thought, her anger flaring as she clenched her fists.

Whitney’s eyes were cold, but she was wearing a faint, mocking smile as she gave Emily a couple of sarcastic claps.

“Bravo!” Whitney said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

“Emily, I never thought I’d see the day you’d end up looking this pathetic,” she added, her tone full of contempt.

Emily glared at Whitney, her eyes widened with rage. “It’s you! Whitney, this is all your doing! You set everything up from the start!”

“You’re the reason I ended up like this!” she shouted, her voice trembling with fury.

She hated Whitney so much that she wished she could just kill her right then and there.

Whitney said with a faint smile, “Getting desperate already?”

Her eyes suddenly went cold. “Emily, I thought you were something special, but looks like you’re really not that good after all.”

“If I told you I knew this would happen the moment you married Carter, how would you feel?” Whitney said, her voice laced with sarcasm.

Whitney pulled out the chair in front of her and sat down. “Emily, you really know how to work men. You know exactly what makes you appealing, and you always use that tragic little story of yours to play the sympathy card. That’s what you do best.

“But maybe you forgot, men always want something new, and what they can’t have is always the most tempting. Once they’ve got you, the clock starts ticking until they’re sick of you,” she added, her voice laced with contempt.

“Now that I’m married to Klein, Carter’s just going to keep comparing you to me, again and again. See? He’s already starting to regret it,” Whitney said, a smug smile on her face.

Emily screamed, her voice shrill with rage, “You bitch! I knew it! You’re the one who stole Carter from me and made him turn his back on me!”

Whitney scoffed, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Seduce him? Seriously? What does Carter have that Klein doesn’t?”

“Women go for power, and so do men. You made my grandma sick back then, and now look at you, this is all on you!” Whitney snapped.

After saying that, Whitney murmured softly to herself.

Whitney glanced back from a few depa way past partly watching, as Romby’s face twisted in pain.

Cues her bullshar back finally ran out. Whitney thought with a cold smile.

Whitney turned the comer, she spotted Klein leang casualty against the wall.

“Kleine the called out

Klein had his hands in his pockets, his gaze deep, emotions flickering beneath the surface. “Done with your little chat?” he asked, his voice low and coh

Whitney’s heart skipped a beat. She knew he’d heard everything

“Klein,” she said, reaching out to take his hand, but Klein pulled away.

“So, you used me to mew with Carter and his relationship. Did you enjoy it?” Klein asked, his voice cold and distant

Whitney pursed her lips, and then grumbled under her breath, feeling a little wronged, “Weren’t you the one who told me to use your influence?”

“And now you’re backing out?”

“Quit mumbling and say it out loud,” Klein said, deadpan.

Whitney’s nose tingled as she fought back tears. “I said you’re so petty!”

Klein was speechless. He steered her into the emergency stairwell, his arm wrapped around her waist.

He gave her a couple of playful swats before grabbing her butt. “Who are you calling petty now?”

“And what’s this about guys always chasing after something new? Who’s the ‘hew I’m supposedly into? And who’s the ‘old’

Γ’ I’ve ditched, huh?”

“Countdown to what, exactly? When have I ever gotten bored of you? Come on, tell me!” Klein pressed, his voice low and intense.

Whitney burst out laughing, her tone playful. “Is that why you’re acting all tough right now?”

“What else could it be?” Klein raised his eyebrows.

Whitney had figured Klein was pissed because she’d been a little too calculating, not the sweet, innocent girl he thought she

was

She’d never really been all that innocent

Ever since she chose Carter’s uncle, she’d stopped pretending to be.

Whitney stood on her tiptoes and leaned in to steal a quick kiss

“My husband? Well, he’s the best…

Whitney blinked, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Puppy dog in the world”

Klein was speechless.

‘Did she just call me a dog?’ he thought, totally thrown off

Whitney cupped his face and kissed him. “Do you like that rating? she asked with a grin

“If you like it, give me a bark,” she teased, her eyes twinkling

“Woof,” Klein said, actually playing along.

“Ms. Miller, your emotions were all over the place, and that’s why you lost the baby. But you’re still young. If you focas on your recovery, you’ll be able to have kids again someday,” the doctor said softly.

Emily gazed up at the ceiling, her eyes blank, tears slipping down her cheeks before she even realizet

“Take care of yourself, okay? Don’t let it get to you too much, the doctor added gently

Carter’s lawyer walked over and handed Emily the divorce papers.

“Ms. Miller, please sign here,” the lawyer said, his tone polite/but firm.

Emily wanted to fight back, but she knew it was pointless. No matter what she did, it wouldn’t change a thing,

“Just give them to me. I’ll sign,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

She summoned every ounce of strength she had left and signed her name.

It was all over.

The Harris family pulled some strings, and Carter and Emily’s divorce was finalized in no time.

Once James’s condition stabilized, he was discharged from the hospital.

After laying low for a while, Carter finally went to see his grandfather.

“Grandpa, I want to go abroad. Could you talk to Uncle Klein for me? I’d like to get some experience with the company abroad branch. Is that okay?” Carter said, sounding a bit unsure.

James paused for a moment, deep in thought. “Why not just talk to Klein yourself? Are you worried he’ll say no

James patted Carter on the shoulder. “Carter, you really don’t know your uncle as well as you

think.

“Klein is very principled. Before you did those things to hurt Whitney, did he ever try to come between you
