Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Whitney was convinced she’d been blind all along.

She grabbed her phone and stood up, and someone called out, “Whitney, want some coffee? I bought an extra cup

Whitney smiled, “Thanks, but I’m good.” She was too furious to eat or drink anything. She needed to blow off some steamy

Carter regretted the message the second he sent it.

He figured this was probably just a misunderstanding. Still, when he’d seen that photo, his first instinct was to confront Whitney about it.

He hadn’t stopped to consider that he had no right to judge her anymore.

Whitney crouched in the stairwell, her fingers flying across the keyboard so fast they practically smoked.

Whitney: [Carter, I’m warning you–stop harassing me over nothing. I don’t care if you think I’m someone’s mistress or ade piece or whatever. I could order eighteen male escorts in one night, and it would be none of your damn business, got ut?]

Whitney: [We broke up. I can be with whoever I want now. Don’t you have a company to run? Don’t you have your own girlfriend? Why are you obsessing over what I’m doing?]

Whitney: [Or are you having regrets? Well, too bad. Even if you came crawling back with money, I wouldn’t take you back now.]

After firing off one final “Go to hell,” Whitney blocked the number, wherever it had come from.

Carter’s assistant stared at the massive wall of text Whitney had sent, paragraph after paragraph of her absolutely tearing into someone, and his mouth went dry.

He had no idea what had gotten into Carter, making him borrow his phone just to send a text message

He thought, ‘Now what am I supposed to do? Should I show him, or shouldn’t I?‘

This was stressful.

After sending the message, Whitney didn’t give it another thought.

But Ryan noticed the online confusion right away. He immediately went online and paid people to use burner accounty so leak the truth that it was Tina in those photos.

So by lunchtime, Whitney heard her coworkers‘ conversations shift completely Oh so it was the second daughter all along We got it wrong this morning and almost blamed the older daughter for nothing

“I didn’t even know Aethertech’s CEO had two daughters I thought he only had one

“Ha, check this one out AetherTechs older daughter is from his first wife, and she died years agry Sethe most sported younger daughter is the one caught up in this scandal Think about it really think about what that means

Whitney listened to them talk and couldn’t help checking online to see how things hd mined Stay conchecken single thread pointed straight at Tina now

Tina yelled at Moore Manor, “That bitch! Mom. look at this. She definitely hired an army of trolls to do this.”

Laura said, “Enough. Tina. Now that these photos are out there, you’re basically confirmed as the person in them. You’ll just have to stay home for a while and lay low until this blows over.”

Laura was beyond frustrated. She’d even been consulting doctors about the risks of forcing a pregnancy at forty–five.

The first one’s a lost cause, she thought bitterly. I’ll just have to hope I can have another kid who’s actually useful- preferably a son. That would be even better.”

Otherwise, if Samuel really did give up on Tina, Laura would go down with her.

“Tina, you need to focus more on your father,” Laura said. “Look at him. He listens to everything Whitney says. Instead of worrying about nonsense all day, you should be thinking about something useful.”

Tina felt wronged.

Laura had been the one who arranged that party, and she was the one whose planning hadn’t been thorough enough. Tina had lost her virginity because of it, but somehow it had all become her fault.

…..

“Mr. Harris, Ms. Moore replied to you. But she just sent the message, and I thought it was spam, so I deleted it.”

It was the best explanation the assistant could come up with.

Carter frowned in displeasure. “How could you delete it?”

The assistant flinched and didn’t dare make a sound.

Carter thought it over. ‘Whitney’s reply was probably just her cursing me out anyway, he thought.

“Fine, I got it. You can go,” he said.

When he saw the latest clarification and realized the scandal’s real protagonist was Tina, Carter’s expression turned ugly He had wronged her.

Carter felt embarrassed just thinking about that impulsive text he’d sent.

His cheeks burned with shame.

Even though his assistant hadn’t shown him her reply, he could imagine how angry his message must have made her

And on top of that, she’d been falsely accused.

‘I need to see Whitney right now, he thought urgently. He got in his car and drove straight to Prime Bridge Law Firm. The receptionist looked stunned when she saw Carter show up in person to see Whitney. I’m sorry. Mr. Harris, but you

coming back didn’t call ahead. Ms. Moore went straight to the courthouse for a trial this afternoon, so she probably won’t be

to the office.

Carter frowned. “Which district courthouse?”

The receptionist hesitated. “Mr. Harris, I can’t-”

Their lawyers court schedules were always kept confidential.

Ivan happened to walk by, and his eyes widened in surprise. “Mr. Harris, are you here to see Attorney Moore

Carter’s expression was tight. “Yeah. Which courthouse is she at?”

Ivan worried he might be looking for trouble, so he laughed it off. “Let me think. I believe it’s the West District courthouse

The moment those words left his mouth, Carter turned and walked straight out.

The receptionist stood there speechless.

Once he’d completely disappeared from view, she finally spoke up weakly. “Mr. Walton, Ms. Moore didn’t go to the West District courthouse today.”

van glanced at her. “Oh, is that right? Well, I’ll give him a call in a bit. Don’t worry about it.”

Of course, he knew Whitney wasn’t at West District, but Carter had looked so hostile just now that anyone who didn’t know better would think he was going to pick a fight with his girlfriend.

A little white lie isn’t really that bad, he thought.

They couldn’t let this mess up their team’s case.

Whitney’s court hearing went incredibly well today, and she walked out of the courthouse at just four o’clock.

After saying goodbye to her client, she thought about it for a moment and decided she was too tired to head bask to the law

irm.

she sent a quick message to the group chat to update Ivan, then started heading home.
