Chapter 93 She Finally Got The Shares!
Chapter 93 She Finally Got The Shares!
Friday was family day for the Harris family.
Klein and George’s cars pulled into the garage one after the other.
Klein swung his long legs out and hopped off the car with practiced ease.
When he spotted George, he instantly became the gentle little brother again. “George.” he greeted.
George chuckled and said, “I saw your car ahead of mine. Come on, Dad’s probably getting impatient.”
“Klein, you got married and didn’t even tell the family?” George said, half surprised and half playfully reproachful.
Klein smiled and said, “That’s exactly what I’m here to talk about today.”
George’s eyes flickered, and he added, “Klein, my assistant messed up today. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
“You’re being too serious, George. I just don’t want anyone on our team making unprofessional decisions because of personal grudges. Besides, Mrs. Moore was Mom’s closest friend back then,” Klein replied.
“If she knew how we were treating the person she picked, she’d be very upset,” Klein added.
George was at a loss for words.
‘But seriously, it wasn’t us who called off the engagement. It was Whitney who did it herself, George thought.
He had never expected Klein to be so stubborn, treating a casual remark from their late mother like it was gospel.
With their own thoughts weighing on them, the two of them walked into the house.
Lena was more than happy to see Klein, her personal benefactor. Whenever he tossed money her way, it was way more generous than her usual allowance.
“Uncle Klein, you’re back! Grandpa was just asking about you,” Lena called out.
Klein raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Yeah, Dad, I’m back.”
“Hmph, you finally decided to show up!” James grumbled, peering behind Klein. “So, how long are you planning to keep your wife hidden?”
“Getting married is a big deal. Don’t I even get a say in it?” James added.
Klein flashed a gentle smile and said, “Legally, I don’t need your permission anymore, but I figured I’d still check in with you. Dad, I’m married now. Are you satisfied?”
James was left speechless.
‘What a smooth talker. Asking me after it’s all done. How’s that supposed to be asking for my opinion?’ James grumbled.
‘That’s just you giving me an update, nothing more!’
“Come on, Dad, don’t be mad. My wife is beautiful. If I hadn’t moved fast, someone else would’ve snatched her away,” Klein said with a grin.
James snorted and said, “Is she really that beautiful? You actually had to fight for her?”
“Absolutely! But my wife only has eyes for me. I’m the only one who deserves her,” Klein replied, sounding almost smug.
Hearing that come out of Klein’s mouth, not just James, but even George and his wife were both left gaping in shock.
“Haha, Klein, you really know how to crack a joke. Is there any girl out there who’s actually out of your league?” George
teased.
Klein just smiled without saying a word, which just made everyone even more desperate to find out who he’d actually tied
the knot with.
“Alright, enough with the jokes. What really matters is getting both families together to properly discuss your wedding.” James said, his tone turning serious.
“Carter’s getting married next week, and you, as his uncle, should hurry up!” James added.
Klein smiled lazily and said, “No hurry, I’ll wait until Carter’s wedding.”
“I’ll bring her over for you to check out at the wedding,” Klein said.
James’s eyes lit up and he said, “Really?”
“Of course. You’ll definitely like her,” Klein replied with a confident smile.
Lena, the only one in the know, sucked in a breath. ‘Uncle Klein is seriously out of his mind,’ she thought.
1/3
gain?’ Lena wondered.
were the last ones to show up, as usual.
to dote on my bestie, Lena thought, half amused.
ed my bestie was honestly legendary.
Sabrina grinned and said, “Carter, your Uncle Klein said he’s bringing his wife to your wedding and they will bring you a gift.” Carter looked surprised and said, “Really? Thanks, Uncle Klein.”
‘I didn’t know Uncle Klein actually cared this much about my wedding with Emily: Carter thought.
It was all thanks to Uncle Klein that the wedding happened so soon. If Uncle Klein hadn’t kept pushing his grandpa, he and Emily probably wouldn’t be getting married until the end of the year at the earliest.
Klein said with a faint smile, “Don’t mention it.”
Only Lena caught how false Klein’s smile was.
She shot Carter a sideways glance, her eyes full of sympathy.
‘My dear cousin, you’re gonna need all the luck you can get, Lena thought.
Ever since they got married the other day, Emily had been giving Carter the cold shoulder.
If they hadn’t had to head back to Moore Manor for dinner together today, they’d probably still be stuck in their silent standoff.
The wedding was next week, but Carter didn’t even bother to propose properly. He didn’t go with her to pick out a ring. He just told her to go to the jewelry store and choose one herself.
‘Picking out my own ring just isn’t the same as choosing it together with him, is it? Emily thought, a wave of
disappointment washing over her.
Emily was bitter about it, but she could only swallow her feelings and keep them to herself.
She couldn’t let anyone see that things weren’t perfect for her. After all, this was the life she’d clawed her way to get, and she had to make it look like it was all worth it.
Samuel finally wrapped up the share transfer, and he called Whitney over.
“Whit, I’ve taken care of everything just like you asked. Now, go tell Klein you two are getting married!” Samuel urged. Whitney glanced at the agreement and the transfer notice in her hand, and said with a satisfied smile, “What’s the rush?” “What do you mean, what’s the rush?” Samuel blurted out, sounding panicked/Whit, you’re not thinking of backing out, are you?”
Whitney said with a faint smile, “Relax, I’m not backing out.”
Suddenly, Whitney switched gears and asked, “Are you going to Carter’s wedding next week?”
Samuel said with a frown, “What are you going to do?”
He hadn’t gotten an invite from the Harris family, but his second daughter Tina was set to be a bridesmaid.
Emily had sent Samuel and his wife an invitation too, but it was as her guests.
“I’m not going to do anything…” Whitney sounded casual. “Just asking. Why are you so jumpy?”
Samuel was getting worked up, annoyed and anxious. “I’m not jumpy! I just want to know. When are you and Klein finally going to get married?”
