Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Did You Have Fun Today?

Chapter 97 Did You Have Fun Today?

Dustin watched as Klein walked over with a calm, unhurried pace, and he couldn’t help but curl his lips.

‘Damn, even his entrance is this theatrical. That’s so Klein, Dustin thought.

Meanwhile, the newlyweds on stage wore heavy expressions.

Emily slammed her bouquet to the ground, petals flying everywhere.

She felt utterly lost, wishing that everything she was seeing wasn’t real.

‘No way… How could Whitney end up marrying Uncle Klein?’ Emily couldn’t wrap her head around it.

Carter’s eyes narrowed sharply, his heart thundering in his chest, and it felt like his blood had frozen solid.

All he could see was Whitney and Klein, arm in arm, looking way too close.

She walked over, her rosy lips, delicate arms, and slender waist making her look impossibly graceful.

Carter’s sharp gaze locked onto her outstretched, fair-skinned hand. The man she was clinging to was his uncle Klein!

‘This is beyond absurd!’ Carter thought.

At that moment, there wasn’t a hint of lingering affection in Whitney’s strikingly clear gaze, just blunt mockery.

There was sarcasm in her eyes. “See? Didn’t I tell you I don’t love you anymore?” she thought.

In that instant, a pain stabbed through Carter’s heart, so sharp he couldn’t even put it into words.

It was like ten thousand needles tearing his heart to shreds, leaving nothing but scars.

He couldn’t tear his gaze away from their joined hands, his eyes rimmed red with pain.

Klein said with a sly smirk, “Carter, Emily, congrats! Sorry we showed up late. My wife and I had a few things to take care of.” “She said it’s her first time meeting you guys as my wife, so we took our sweet time getting ready. You don’t mind, right?” Klein teased.

‘Not mind? Are you kidding me?’

‘Why the hell wouldn’t I care? This is driving me insane!’ Carter fumed.

Carter’s eyes were bloodshot, his voice hoarse. “Uncle Klein, why?” he asked.

‘There are so many women in the world. Of all people, why did it have to be her?’ Carter thought, his heart twisting with pain. Klein’s smirk grew bigger, and he shot back teasingly, “Why? What are you talking about?”

They weren’t the only ones stunned. George’s face was thunderous, and he warned, “Carter, take Emily downstairs and get changed into your outfits for the toast.”

“Klein,” George gave Whitney, looking gorgeous in her dress, a complicated glance. “You two, come over and sit next to Dad.” James’s eye widened and he said angrily, “Lena, did you bring my heart pills today? I’m about to lose it!”

Lena was speechless.

“Grandpa, I didn’t bring them today. Didn’t you always say you liked Whit? Now she’s your daughter-in-law. How perfect is that?” Lena teased.

James couldn’t help but curse, “Couldn’t be worse!”

‘My ex-granddaughter-in-law just turned into my daughter-in-law, and nobody even bothered to give me a heads-up. How am I supposed to be okay with this?’ James fumed.

Klein, looking completely unfazed, led Whitney over to the main table and sat down with her.

As they sat, he gently rubbed the back of her hand to calm her. “Lena, come sit by your Aunt Whitney.” he said.

“Sure thing!” Lena was more than happy to do so.

When James heard Lena call Whitney “Aunt Whitney,” his blood pressure shot up even higher. ‘Seriously? This is just too much, he grumbled.

“Oh

James

let out a heavy snort and said, “Do you really think I could be happy right now? Klein, you’re making me look bad!”

him a cold glare. ‘Damn rebel! How did I end up with a son like you?’ he fumed.

Chapter 97 Did You Have Fun Today?

George and Sabrina sat down, both looking sour. Sabrina was the first to throw shade and she said, “Whitney, I never knew you had such big plans.”

She always played the role of the ignored daughter, but turns out she was plotting to snag the whole Harris family from the start! Sabrina fumed, her thoughts racing.

If Whitney really marries into the Harris family, that would make her my sister-in-law. Seriously? Sabrina felt disgusted. Sabrina just couldn’t process how her daughter-in-law could suddenly flip into her sister-in-law overnight.

Just picturing all the gossip and how everyone would laugh at the Harris family made her head spin.

Klein shot back without missing a beat, “Sabrina, so you really can’t stand the idea of me getting married?”

Seeing things getting way out of hand, George jumped in to cut everyone off.

“Alright, knock it off! You have to go do the toast later. Don’t embarrass us in front of everyone!” George barked.

Emily and Carter went back to the dressing room, trying to pull themselves together. They just sat in silence for a while “Go get changed. I’ll be outside,” Carter finally said.

Right now, he really needed a cigarette to take the edge off.

Emily hesitated, and finally blurted out, “Carter, the man I saw with Whitney last time wasn’t Uncle Klein. Is Whitney seriously playing the field or what?”

The more Emily talked, the more Carter’s patience wore thin.

At this point, it didn’t matter how many men Whitney was seeing. It was none of his business anymore.

A wave of anger flared up in Carter, and he said impatiently, “Just go change! Save it for later!”

No matter what, he couldn’t afford to lose his cool at the wedding.

He stood by the stairs, tall and cold. A spark danced at his fingertips. As he took a drag, smoke drifted up, shrouding his face in a haze. No one could tell what he was thinking.

‘When did those two even start hooking up?’ Carter wondered, his mind spinning.

Scenes from the past flashed through his head like a movie on rewind.

When Whitney came to break off the engagement, Uncle Klein somehow had taken her side and even helped her out.

On his way to Whitney’s place, Klein’s driver had sideswiped him, smashing in his car door.

And even at his wedding with Emily, Uncle Klein had been subtly working Grandpa from the sidelines, stirring up trouble.

Carter’s eyes narrowed in an instant. ‘So Uncle Klein had this planned from the very start!’ he thought.

‘How did I only just figure out Uncle Klein’s agenda?’ Carter cursed himself, anger boiling inside.

The tip of his cigarette flared and faded, echoing the rage burning in his eyes.

Klein was his uncle, the one he respected most in the family. But all this time, he’d been lying in wait, ready to steal his girl the moment he got the chance.

Carter crushed out his cigarette, tossed it into the trash, and marched back to the banquet hall, anger simmering just beneath the surface.

George walked into the lounge looking for his son, but was taken aback when he suddenly saw Carter’s face twisted with anger, brows drawn tight.

“Carter, what are you going to do?” George demanded.

Carter was practically panting, frustration all over his face. “Dad, I’m going to talk to Uncle Klein. He’s been plotting this from the start!” he said.

George frowned and said. “Plotting? Carter, that’s your uncle! If you go make a scene, your grandpa won’t go easy on you.” “But he started it! Grandpa can’t just take sides like this!” Carter growled.

George’s eyes flashed cold. “When you’re the one inheriting everything, then Grandpa will take your side.” he said.

Carter’s heart skipped a beat.

as soon as he remembered just how ruthless and decisive Uncle Klein could be, he was instantly deflated.
