Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58

When Samuel got back to the villa he found complete chaos at the front entrance

Laura and Tina stood there with red–rimmed eyes, and their faces were twisted with anger

Tina spotted Samuel right away. “Dad, you need to do something about Whitney How could she treat me like this How could she treat Mom this way?

Samuel felt shocked at first, but then anger began to build inside him

He softened his voice to comfort them. This is way too much Look Laura, don’t be upset. I’ll go in there and talk to her She needs to apologize to both of you today”

Samuel took Laura’s hand and tned to go inside, but two security guards he d never seen before blocked the entrance ‘Sorry, but this woman can’t come in

Samuel’s temper flared. “That’s my wife. What gives you the right to stop her”

The guards didn’t bother answering and just looked down at them coldly, refusing to budge an inch.

Samuel’s face darkened, and he snapped. ‘So I can’t go in either”

The two guards stepped aside and made a path for him “You can‘

Samuel swallowed his rage and tried to reassure Laura and Tina “Just wait here for a bit. I’ll go talk to her When did she start making the rules around here? This is ridiculous

He stormed inside, fuming, but then he realized there weren’t just two guards. Whitney had somehow hired ten of them And the few household staff they had were completely useless in this situation.

Whitney, what the hell are you doing? Didn’t I already promise you they’d move out? If you keep this up, you ll make the Moore family the laughingstock of the entire city. Samuel said, his voice rising.

Does she even care what people will say?‘ he thought. They’ll call her arrogant and disrespectful to her elders How can she be so impulsive?‘

Whitney had never been the type to start trouble, but she wasn’t going to run from it anymore, either.

Before, she’d put up with everything for Patricia’s sake, but now that Patricia was gone, she was done holding back

Dad, what’s wrong with hiring some people to help them move?” Whitney asked calmly.

She continued, “I could’ve given them a few days, but my dear sister Tina went behind my back and got someone to complain to my boss. I almost lost my job because of her, so yeah. I think I’m allowed to be a little emotional about it, dril you?

Samuel froze. He hadn’t expected Tina to be the one who started this mess

He was breathing hard and his voice came out rough “Then tell me what happened and fill talk to her for you. But wal

can’t make a scene like this

He added Everyone in this neighborhood has connections and story and what are they going wolink about the Moore family when they hear about this?

Whitney sneered. Dad, I dont care whad anyone thanks Lonly care de twhat makes me feel to M

not dropping the case yet. That public apology clause? I’m changing it.

“I want Laura and her nephew to apologize to me in person. Then I won’t take it to the media.”

Samuel’s eyes lit up. “Really? That’s more like it, Whit. You’ve always been so reasonable. Of course family business should stay behind closed doors. Alright, I’ll have Laura come in and apologize right now. Don’t worry, she’s not unreasonable.

Whitney let out a cold laugh. ‘We’ll see if she’s really that reasonable, she thought.

Samuel looked around at the row of highly trained bodyguards. This caliber of security didn’t come cheap.

Where did she get the money to hire people like this?‘ he thought. ‘Could she have actually gotten back on Carter’s good side? Did Carter hire them for her?‘

Once that thought settled in his mind, Samuel’s angry expression vanished. His face quickly transformed into a warm riendly smile. “Whit, are these bodyguards all work for you?”

Whitney raised an eyebrow. “Who else would they work for?”

He choked on his words for a second, but he didn’t get angry. He just kept smiling. “Good, good. I’ll go get your Aunt Laura o come in and apologize first.”

Laura and Tina were huddled together outside. When they saw him come out after such a short time, their eyes brightened vith hope. “Dad, you saw everything, right?”

Samuel waved his hand dismissively. “Tina, stop making such a fuss over nothing. Laura, listen. I just talked to Whitney and he’s come around. Remember how she wanted you to apologize publicly through the media?

Well, she’s thought it over, and now she just wants you to go in there and apologize to her face. Then she II let the whole hing go.”

What?” Tina’s voice shot up, and her whole body went rigid with anger. “Dad, she just kicked me and Mom out, and vant Mom to go in there and apologize to that little bitch?”

Tina Moore.” Samuel’s voice came out slow and deliberate, each word hitting like a hammer “Is that how you our sister? You clearly need to learn some manners.”

de frowned. “Laura, look at our daughter. Does she look anything like a Moore family girl should Nayak whitick would think she’s some street thug.

everything you’ve done for this farmaly

Whitney sat on the couch and had made it through half a cup of coffee before Laura and Tina finally showed up Samuel tried to smooth things over with a laugh Whit. Laura’s here”

Whitney set her cup down on the table with just enough force to make a point, and her gaze sharpened instantly

“Oh, you’re here she said, pulling out her phone with casual indifference. She opened the camera and aimed it straigh Laura’s face “Go ahead then. Apologize. I’m listening”

Tina stared at her, trembling with rage. “Dad, are you seeing this? What is she doing? Is she seriously recording hie

Whitney shrugged. “Why not? You really think a half–assed apology is gonna cut it? I need proof something to remind all not to forget about today.”

She wanted them to remember that she wasn’t some doormat who’d take their crap lying down

She wanted them to think twice before messing with her again.

She’d played the good girl long enough, and if being called difficult was the price, she didn’t care anymore

Laura tasted blood in her mouth–she’d bitten through her own lip. She thought. I clearly underestimated her Twenty years of acting meek, and it was all a lie.

Samuel felt a flicker of irritation and wanted to intervene, but then he thought about how Whitney might alger Ca to reconsider. He hesitated.

He was a businessman, after all, and recording or not, it didn’t really hurt his wife–just bruised her ego (Tha

He said, “Laura, it’s fine. Just apologize to the girl. You were in the wrong before, weren’t you?

Laura let out a cold laugh. This was her wonderful husband.

She forced down the fury roiling in her chest and smiled darkly Fine Ell apologize
