Chapter 70

Whitney hurt expected Klems next time to come this fast, but she nodded reluctantly “Okay”

Kwh the Rash of unwillingness in her expression, but he acted like he hadn’t seen it at all.

Hopped to hands into his pockets and kept his face neutral. “Let’s go.”

“‘”Okey‘ Whitney said

They walked side by side to her door, and Whitney pressed her finger against the scanner.

She could feel a burning gaze fixed on her from behind, watching her every move.

Klew’s gaze settled on her pale fingers as they pressed against the fingerprint scanner. I’ve already given her my door code. be thought. When is she going to trust me with hers?

The mechanical voice announced the successful unlock, and Whitney flipped on the hallway light. “Wait here for a sec. I’ll grata for you?

So she wasn’t inviting him inside.

Klein didn’t let it bother him and stayed put by the door, watching her hurry off. A smile tugged at his lips without him

Whe’d pulled her hair into a ponytail today, and it bounced as she moved. It was adorable, and the more he watched, the more she reminded him of a bunny.

His eyes caught on something by the shoe cabinet–a pair of men’s slippers still in their clear plastic packaging

Did she get these for me? he thought.

Whitney didn’t want to keep him waiting, so she rushed back with quick little steps. Her cheeks were flushed from the movement. “Here, look. I put it away after you left it that day.”

Klein took it from her hands, and his cool fingertips brushed across her palm by accident. His hips curved into a half–siniie “Thanks”

Then his attention shifted to the brand–new slippers by the cabinet, and his voice dropped lower. “You got these for e

‘Good night See you this weekend”

The weekend was only two days away, but somehow it felt like they had to say “see you than werkend is rath other curry

single day

Dustin had just left a business dinner when he got a message from Klein

Klein sent a photo.

Dustin stared at his phone, confused.

The picture showed the most ordinary pair of slippers imaginable.

What’s this about? he thought. Are those slippers encrusted with diamonds or something? Why would Mr. Harris who’s busy running the world, take the time to photograph them and send them to me?

Dustin: (What is that?]

Klein: [Slippers my girlfriend bought me. Has your girlfriend ever bought you any?]

Klein: (Oh wait, sorry. I forgot. You don’t have a girlfriend.]

Dustin: [What?]

Damn it. Is Klein even human? What kind of person says stuff like that? Dustin thought, and once again, he felt his anger flare up so badly that his teeth clenched.

Emily had gotten shut down pretty hard by Whitney, but she refused to believe Whitney actually didn’t care.

Whitney was just pretending not to care, that was all.

Tina, I’m getting married, Emily announced to Tina, sharing the good news.

Tina’s eyes widened in shock. “Really? Milly, you’re marrying Carter already? That was fast

The main reason for the rush was that Whitney had gone to Samuel and filled his head with hes, acting like she wanted to get back together with Carter.

Otherwise, Samuel never would’ve taken her side

“Of course it’s real Uncle Klein arranged the whole thing for us. Emily said

At the mention of Klein’s name, something flickered in Tina’s eyes, and her expression darkened

He was so far out of reach. If only she could marry into the Harris family, too. But given how things were going now she probably didn’t have a chance anymore

Suli. Tina wasnt ready to give up. “Milly, have you picked your bridesmaids yet? We’re so close, so you’ll choose me as one of your bridesmaids night

Emily smiled. “Of course Tina, you’re definitely going to be in my bridal party

Tina had to come to the wedding because that’s the only way Emily could use her to humiliate Whitney properly

The whole reason Emily had gotten close to Tina in the first place was that Tina and Whitney didn’t get along. And the enemy of her enemy was her friend

Tima hung up and immediately ran to Samuel to tattle “Dad, didn’t you say Whitney might get back together with Carter‘ But do you even know that Carter’s getting married to Milly next month?”

Samuel froze for a second. What? Where’d you hear that? Are you sure?”

Of course I’m sure Tina smiled smugly ‘Milly just called me herself to share the good news, and she even invited me to be

her bridesmaid

She kept going “Dad. I’m telling you, you’re betting on the wrong horse. Whitney’s a lost cause If you’re counting on her to

and you some nch husband, that’s never gonna happen.”

Enough, Samuel cut her off. his tone sharp.

Tina’s way of talking was so crude it made his ears hurt, and he could barely stand listening to her anymore

When it came to his two daughters, neither Whitney nor Tina gave him a moment’s peace, and he was tired of dealing with

both of them.

He said. Tll confirm this with your sister myself, but you need to keep your head down for the next month. Before their wedding, you’d better not cause any trouble.”

If Carter really was getting married, the wedding would be even more extravagant than last time.

More wealthy families would attend, and if his daughter could show up as a bridesmaid for the Harris family, it might

alvage some of her reputation.

Samuel was just that practical–whichever daughter could make him look good got more of his favor

So when Whitney stepped out of the law firm, she found Samuel’s car waiting outside.

She got in. “Dad, what are you doing here?”

Samuel let out a cold snort. “What, I can’t come here now? Whitney, do you even remember what you promised me Carter’s getting married, so what are you going to use to marry into the Harris family?

Whitney’s eyes flickered for a moment. ‘So he knows about it, she thought. \

She smiled slightly, completely unfazed, and replied in a leisurely tone. I know, Dad We broke up, so he can mLATY whoever he wants. What’s wrong with that?”

“You–Samuel gritted his teeth. “Whitney, last time you made such bold promises and gave me conditions. You made me agree to let Laura and your sister move out of Moore Manor, and the condition was that you’d marry into the Harris family Now you’re telling me there’s nothing wrong?

“Everything’s wrong about this Whitney shrugged ‘Dad. I think you’ve got it twisted. They moved out of Moore Manot as punishment for drugging me with her nephews help

She continued, “And marrying into the Harris family? That was about getting your 15 shares”
