Carter’s eyes burned with disbelief and anger as he shot Whitney a glare. “Is this what you wanted?”

Whitney let out a cold, mocking smile, replying, “Yeah, I’m pretty happy with this mess. What, you’re not?”

“You finally popped the question to the girl you’ve been obsessed with all this time. Shouldn’t you be celebrating?” she sneered.

Every word ripped the lid off their dirty little secrets, making everyone wish they could disappear.

Not just the Harris family, but Whitney too.

Carter just couldn’t figure it out. What was Whitney really trying to prove by being so resolute and ruthless?

The Harris family’s reputation took a serious hit, but for Samuel, this was even harder to accept.

He watched his sure thing slip away, and to make matters worse, his own daughter had embarrassed the Harris family in ront of everyone, leaving them no way to save face.

These two families were bound to become enemies now.

Samuel’s face went from red to white as he clenched his jaw and scolded, “Whitney, are you out of your damn mind?”

Do you even get what kind of place this is? Do you know who you’re pissing off right now?” he snapped.

Whitney turned to face the furious man storming up to her, a half–smirk on her lips. “Of course I know. Wasn’t it you who nsisted I show up today? You even said you’d drag me here if you had to,” she said.

Well, here I am. Guess what, you’re still not satisfied?” she shot back.

Samuel’s eyes were cold, simmering with the fury of a volcano about to blow.

He swung his hand up with real intent, but before he could bring it down, someone stopped him in midair.

The cuff of Klein’s shirt revealed a solid, muscular wrist, veins standing out clearly.

Klein’s eyes met Samuel’s gaze with casual indifference. “Samuel, what do you think you’re doing?”

Samuel was twelve years older than Klein, although they were regarded as equals in their circle

But when Samuel caught the intimidating aura radiating from Klein, he couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine

Samuel pulled his hand back, his voice tinged with irritation. “Can’t I even deal with my own daughter”

Klein’s lips were icy as he spoke. “Whitney’s the one who’s been hurt. Why would she need disciplining?

Both families looked even more rattled.

Klein’s words basically called out the whole fiasco for what it was.

George stepped up, smiling like it hurt, and looked at Samuel “Samuel, the Harris family owes you an explanation today I’m not backing out of what I promised.”

George hated every second of this, but he had no other option.

Soon, people online would be saying that a Harris ditched a Moore. Honestly, Whitney was the real victim here.

He gave Whitney a complicated look, his eyes lingering on her straight–backed figure. “Whitney, sorry you had to deal with all this mess today.”

Whitney looked at George, her eyes cold and distant. “Mr. Harris, I’m fine. Just hope you won’t blame me for any of this. I saw how much Carter was suffering over his secret relationship, so I just did him a favor.”

She fixed her gaze on Emily, her eyes impossible to read. “Congrats, you finally got what you wanted. And thanks for dropping by to see my grandma yesterday, even after your accident. I’ll let you know as soon as she wakes up

Emily’s heart skipped a beat.

‘Wait, does she know I visited her grandma?‘ Emily thought.

Carter was confused, but he caught the unfriendly look in Whitney’s eyes. “Why are you being so harsh to her?” he asked sharply.

Emily clung to Carter, her eyes pleading. “Carter, I think Whitney’s got the wrong idea about me. I never went to see her grandma. You dropped me off at home yesterday, and I stayed in all night.”

“Whitney, stop blaming everything on Emily. Maybe you should look at your own issues for a change,” Carter said. his voic rising.

Normally, if Carter ever dared to yell at Whitney, his parents would always step in to defend her and scold him. But after today, Whitney had shut them out herself.

From now on, she’d truly become an outsider in their eyes.

Whitney sneered inwardly. Just as she parted her lips to speak, she heard James‘ thunderous roar from across the room. “Carter, you unfilial brat, shut your mouth.”

“James?” Sabrina objected, her voice sharp.

“Grandpa,” Carter protested.

“Shut up. Just hearing you say that makes my skin crawl. Instead of blaming others, why don’t you look at the mess you ve caused?” James snapped.

He pointed angrily at the video on the screen. “Both of you, go apologize to Whitney. Now!”

This marriage was something James had sworn to honor for his late wife. It was her dying wish. He never imagined things would blow up like this.

“Grandpa? Why should we be the ones apologizing?” Carter protested.

James glared at him, his eyes blazing with fury. “What, you think my words don’t mean anything anymore?
