Tina had been waiting for Samuel’s call, but nothing came through.

She’d figured that once he knew what was going on, he’d at least move them out of this dump A spacious penthouse was one thing, but it was nothing compared to the villa.

And she’d been so ready to humiliate Whitney. “Mom, has Dad lost his mind?” she said. “He knows everything now, so why isn’t he telling us to come home?”

Laura’s thoughts ran deeper than Tina’s. “Tina, we’re not moving back anytime soon, so you’d better prepare yourself for

that

The moment they’d moved out of Moore Manor, Laura had already accepted this reality.

“Whitney must have made some deal with your father that we don’t know about. She’s got a silver tongue. That’s her only real talent. So we don’t need to do anything. We just wait and watch her mess up.”

Laura’s reassurance calmed Tina down. “You’re right. That bitch is all talk anyway.”

Laura smiled. “Now you need to seize this bridesmaid opportunity, understand? Whether or not you can make a spectacular comeback all depends on that day.”

Tina’s face lit up. “Mom, do you have a plan already?”

Plans didn’t come that quickly. She just wanted Tina to make a more striking entrance.

Laura said. “Talk to Milly about the bridesmaid dress. See if we can arrange our own. Tell her we won’t steal her spotlight.”

But Laura was determined to make Tina the second focal point of the entire event, right after the bride.

Tina wasn’t unattractive; she just lacked refinement.

Over the next month, Laura needed to work on fixing Tina’s bad habits. ‘But can they really be fixed?‘ she thought with an inward sigh

After her confrontation with Samuel, Whitney went back to the law firm to work like a dog.

The moment Ivan saw her, he called her into his office. “Two o’clock this afternoon, Harris Group is holding a meeting. I’ve already submitted the due diligence you all did last time. They should have received the financial and business due diligence

“Thus demoons meeting should cover the due diligence findings, risk factors, and the next step of valuation assessment Mi Harris will probably be there too Frank has court this afternoon and can’t make it so you’re coming with me

Whitney fel a drill of excitement “Sounds good

Ivan said. However Whitney you should prepare yourself we’ll probably bus working weekends for the next few weeks

Whitney’s brow furrowed slightly Boss starting this werkend!

“Most likely It depends on how today vineeting goes What’s wrong/Got a daic? Ivanicaard

She gave an awkward laugh. “No, it’s not a date.”

Back at her desk, Whitney thought about it for a moment and decided to send Klein a message.

Whitney: [Sorry, I might have to work this weekend. I won’t be able to make it to the furniture store with you.]

Ten minutes passed before Klein replied.

Klein: [You’ve got a lot of cases right now?]

Whitney: [Not many court dates lately, but there’s that investment and acquisition project with your company.)

She sent the message and waited, but this time it took half an hour for his response to come through.

Klein: [Got it.]

Whitney let out a breath of relief.

As a lawyer, she hated being stood up, so when she had to cancel on someone, she tried to keep her tone polite and apologetic.

And this time, she was canceling on Klein, which made it even more critical.

Valerie looked at Whitney with envy. “Whitney, you get to work with Boss again and learn so much.”

Whitney smiled, “You’ll get your chance too.”

Whitney had earned her position through skill, and Valerie respected that.

Valerie sighed. “Yeah, but with my mediocre abilities, I should just be grateful Boss doesn’t kick me off the team. This infringement case I’m working on is giving me such a headache.”

“What infringement case?”

Valerie threw up her hands. “You know who my client is suing?”

Whitney’s curiosity piqued. “Who?”

The girlfriend of Starwave Entertainment’s CEO. Tell me, how am I supposed to win this case?”

Whutney raised an eyebrow. Emily?‘ she thought.

Valene continued. Boss says there’s a chance we could win, and since the case was assigned to me, I can’t exactly pass it off to someone else I just have to push through and do my best”

Whatory’s interest piqued, and she glanced over at the screen. It turned out the album poster Valerie had designed was getting hit with a plagiarism clann

This kind of case is a nightmare to defend she thought

you think Boss stuck me with this raser Valenie asked

She smiled. Let me take a look at it with you tomorrow okay?
