Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215

When Whitney woke up the next morning, she found her waist a bit sore.

It was like she hadn’t done anything at all, yet somehow, it felt like she’d done everything.

Not only was her waist sore, but even her hands felt sore.

She gave Klein a pitiful, accusing look.

James saw this and immediately thought Klein had been giving Whitney a hard time.

“Whit, did Klein mess with you? Come on, tell me. Let me set him straight for you,” James said.

Whitney smiled awkwardly and said, “No, Dad, it’s not like that. He was just snoring so loud last night and I couldn’t get any sleep.”

Klein just smirked and didn’t bother to defend himself. “Yeah, my bad. I won’t snore tonight. Sorry, baby, it’s all my fault.”

James waved it off like it was no big deal. “Klein, when did you start snoring? You better keep an eye on your heart. Don’t go having problems like George did. Whit, if his snoring keeps you up, just make him sleep in the guest room. You’re pregnant and you need all the good sleep you can get.”

“Dad, that’s really not necessary. I’ll go see a doctor today. I promise I won’t snore again,” Klein said.

Whitney stifled a laugh. “Yeah, Dad, just give him one more chance tonight.”

She suddenly realized that having James backing her up was like having a cheat code, and it worked every time.

After breakfast, just as Klein was about to drive Whitney to the office, Sabrina showed up.

Sabrina sat in Harris Manor, her face icy cold, and she just felt frozen inside.

She glared at George, voice trembling with hurt. “Is this really how you treat me/George?”

George looked guilty. “Sabrina, I’m sorry. This is the best I can do for you. The Harris family and your family still have business ties. So even if we split up, your family will always be Carter’s mom’s side. We’ll still keep in touch, I promise.” Sabrina’s heart tightened. She didn’t know if she could believe him.

Sabrina just couldn’t believe it. After all these years, at her age, she was about to get caught up in a messy divorce. It was just too much for her to accept.

“Trust me, even if we split, everything from the Harris family goes to Carter. As for my share, it stays with me, and no one else is getting it. You can count on that,” George assured her.

“What happened with her was just a slip–up. I’m not going to make excuses. What’s done is done, and I’ll do everything I can to make it up to you,” he said, his voice heavy.

But Sabrina wasn’t satisfied. “I’m not signing unless Dad gives Carter an extra 10% of the shares.”

James stayed silent.

He just turned to George. “George, what do you think?”

George paused for a moment and said, “That’s not happening. Sabrina, if you don’t want a divorce, then we won’t get one. But don’t go causing trouble for Klein and Whitney. If you do, I’ll have no choice but to kick you out of Harris Manor.”

“You’ve been blaming everyone else for what happened with Emily. But have you ever, even for a moment, thought that

maybe you should blame yourself too?” he said, his voice steady but firm.

“We raised Emily together. She turned out to be so ungrateful, and I take responsibility for that. But you can’t just wants your hands of it, not when it comes to Carter, either. You can’t just vent all your anger on Whitney for everything that want wrong.”

“She’s pregnant frow, and I’m keeping you two apart for your own good. If you ever lose your head and do wore thing like Emily did, you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” George said, his tone unwavering.

George’s words really hit home for James.

That was exactly why he’d grown more and more fed up with Sabrina. She just couldn’t stop stirring up drama

Sabrina went quiet, feeling hurt and bitter inside.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed, “I’ve been with the Harris family for so many years. Am I really not as good as the new girl?”

James let out a heavy sigh. “Why do you even bother competing?”

Sabrina had been competing, all the way until their son was driven to leave the country.

Sabrina jolted, her whole body tense.

Regret washed over her, but there was also a touch of relief.

Once the cracks had formed, there was no use trying to patch things up.

Sticking around just to keep hurting each other would only wear her down.

Sabrina grabbed the divorce papers in front of her. “Alright, I’ll sign,” she said, her voice steady but tinged with sadness.

Townsend suddenly called for a team dinner tonight to celebrate the arrival of the new interns.

Whitney honestly didn’t feel like going, but since her assistant was a newbie, skipping out would just make it look like she was snubbing him.

So Whitney texted Klein at home.

[There’s a company dinner tonight, so I’ll be home late. Don’t worry. I won’t eat anything weird, and I won’t touch any alcohol.]

She waited a while for a reply. When nothing came, she didn’t bother to follow up.

At the station, Klein was dressed to the nines in a sharp suit, sitting down for an interview with a new media outlet

This was the first time in years he’d agreed to any interview, and even Ryan was shocked. Why would Klein pick this random

outlet?

The reporter was practically buzzing with excitement. After all, this was an exclusive with the president of Harris Group.

He finished the interview both nervous and thrilled, trying hard not to let it show.

And Klein wasn’t nearly as cold as the reporter had imagined. Every now and then, he’d even throw out one of those

trademark fake smiles.

The reporter was pretty satisfied with how things went.

By the end, riding high on the interview, he got bold and asked, “Mr. Harris, I heard Mrs. Harris is expecting. I was wondering, do you have a preference, son or daughter?”

Klein’s usually stern face softened a bit. “Honestly, I love both. And to do my part for the country, my wife’s actually having twins.”

The reporter froze.
