Chapter 98 Take Advantage Of Me?

Chapter 98 Take Advantage Of Me?

George and Sabrina took Carter and Emily around to toast the guests. James, not wanting to be the center of attention, slipped off to the lounge to calm his nerves.

That left Klein, Whitney, and Lena at the table.

Dustin and his friends came over with their drinks. “Hey, Klein! Hey, Whitney!”

Oliver had totally underestimated Klein’s resolve. He had never expected Klein to be this serious about Whitney.

He lifted his glass and toasted, “Whitney, to you.”

Whitney knew Oliver didn’t really think much of her. He probably thought she wasn’t good enough for Klein

Sure, their backgrounds were worlds apart, but she wasn’t about to put herself down over it..

Still, since Oliver was Joanne’s boyfriend, she’d cut him some slack.

Whitney’s glass was filled with juice. Just as she was about to pick it up, Klein reached out and caught her hand.

Klein said slowly, a little provocative, “Since she’s my wife, you should drink it yourself after the toast.”

Oliver just stared at him, lost for words.

‘What a petty man. And I even gave him a heads-up last time,’ Oliver thought.

Oliver downed his drink in one gulp.

Eric, trailing behind, wasn’t as insensitive as Oliver. “Whitney, congrats.” he said.

Klein looked very satisfied, and turned his eyes to Dustin.

“Your turn, Dr. Reed,” Klein said.

Dustin grinned and said, “Whitney, I wish you and Klein a lifetime of happiness!”

Oliver and Eric were both speechless. No wonder he was the biggest bootlicker in their group!

Lena watched Dustin being all dramatic and couldn’t help but pout, thinking, ‘Seriously, does he ever dial it down?’

Once Dustin knocked back his drink, he shot a casual look at Lena, only to get a full-on eye roll from her.

Then they left. Seeing them toast, the rest of the crowd started lining up to butter up Klein.

The whole wedding reception was starting to look a little ridiculous.

Carter was making the rounds, toasting each table of guests, while everyone else was lining up to toast Klein. The contrast was pretty obvious.

Carter finally couldn’t hold it in and snapped, “Dad, is Uncle Klein here just to cause a scene?”

George sighed and said, “Can’t you tell? All those people are hoping to get something from your uncle.”

Carter was even more frustrated.

“Come on, there are still many tables left. Just keep toasting,” George urged.

Initially, only two or three people came over to toast Whitney, but then more and more started showing up. She was just about ready to roll her eyes at the whole thing.

Whitney felt like she’d used up every fake smile she had in her lifetime today.

Klein caught on right away when he saw her frown in discomfort.

“Alright, that’s enough toasts. Save it for my wedding, okay? Everyone, back to your seats,” Klein said.

“Guys, you’re gonna freak my wife out with this crowd,” he added.

Whitney was stunned.

For a split second, she honestly wanted to poison him mute.

She smiled awkwardly and said, “Oh, no, he’s just joking.”

ena tried not to laugh and shot Whit a wink. “Whit, Uncle Klein is savage with his comebacks.”

crinkled up with laughter. “Whit, seriously, how could you get married and not give your old man a heads-up?”

Normally, Ken and Samuel were equals but now Ken greeted Uncle Samuel

Borgmp Sovy Same sexy blew a fuse. She’s driven me up the wall more times than I can count

“Oh, yeah, Whitney’s got a kind heart, just like her mom’ Samuel chuckles

The moment he mentioned Whitney’s mom her whole demeanor went cold

“Alright, Dad, what do you want? she neopted him blunty, not bothering to hide her impatience.

“Whitney, what’s your problem? I’m talking to my son-in-law. Why are you butting in? Samuel barked

Samuel was the classic alpha male. He’d never taken his wife or daughter seriously

He called all the shots at home

So whenever Whitney talked back to him, he just couldn’t take it

“Uncle Samuel, no need to get so worked up Whit’s just hungry. Why don’t we let her eat first, and then we can talk? Klein

Samuel was genuinely shocked Hed never expected Kien to care so much about Whitney

He forced a smile and said, “Sure Whitney, go ahead and eat. Another day bring Klein home and we’ll have a proper family

get together

As soon as he walked away, Whitney scoffed, ‘Don’t pay him any mind. He’s just trying to take advantage of you.”

Whitney didn’t give a damn whether AetherTech lived or died.
