Chapter 132 No Need to Tell Me

Emily’s eyes were red as she looked up, her voice soft and pitiful. “Maybe I should go find Whitney. If she hears Mom is sick, she’ll definitely feel bad and come see her.”

“No need for you to go,” Brandon said immediately. “I’ll go find her myself.”

He thought, ‘It is obvious that Whitney has it out for Emily.

“I’m the one Whitney hates. As long as I beg her, I’m sure she’ll come back.” Emily’s eyes brimmed with tears, her voice full of sincerity.

She looked like she was ready to go through fire and water for Paula.

“Beg her? Emily, she’s not worth you humbling yourself like that!” Eric said. He was the first to object, quickly putting his arm around Emily’s shoulders.

Now Paula couldn’t move, so Eric acted as recklessly a

Emily pressed her lips together, quietly pulling away grabbing Paula’s hand. “For Mom, I’ll do anything I can’t stand seeing her suffer like this.”

As she spoke, her eyes briefly clouded over when she glanced at Paula, but when she looked up again, all that was left in her gaze was pure concern for Paula.

“Brandon, let’s call Whitney. If she hears Mom’s sick, she’ll rush back for sure,” Emily said.

She had never wanted to mention Whitney in front of the Andersons.

She didn’t want the Andersons to think about Whitney.

But because of Eric’s idiocy, she had to bring up Whitney herself and suggest they contact her.

Only by doing this could she show how big–hearted she was, and show she held no grudges against Whitney.

And Emily had something else on her mind: Whitney’s attitude toward the Andersons.

She thought, ‘Whitney isn’t as easy to manipulate as she used to be.

‘Back on the show, when we got mushroom poisoning and were vomiting and having diarrhea, Chase went to Whitney himself, begging her to make him some medicine.

‘But Whitney snarked at him, letting Chase suffer, barely hanging on.

“She didn’t spare him a single glance.

‘So, if Whitney found out Paula was sick, would she act like she didn’t care?

‘If Whitney said something really cold–blooded or heartless, it would definitely make the Andersons hate her more.

‘Now, whenever Paula gets sick, her first thought is of Whitney. That is definitely not a good thing for me.

‘If Paula found out that Whitney was completely indifferent to her illness and had no intention of coming to her aid, definitely start holding a grudge against Whitney and might stop caring about her altogether.‘

Emily clenched her fists, secretly hoping Whitney would stand her ground and not show any weakness because Paula was sick.

Paula, barely conscious, caught those words and blurted out, “Yeah, call Whitney! Get her back here, hurry up, bring her

home now.”

The pain was so intense, she honestly felt like dying would be easier.

For the past two years, her health had been getting better, and she’d nearly forgotten what that crushing pain in her chest felt like.

But now, it slammed into her out of nowhere.

She felt like she could drop dead from the pain right then and there.

She thought, Only Whitney. She is the only one who can help me now.

Brandon gave a quick nod, pulled out his phone, and called Whitney.

As soon as he tried to call, he realized he’d been blocked.

His face darkened as he glanced at his brothers.

Chase and Eric immediately shook their heads. “Don’t look at us. She blocked us ages ago.”

Ever since the show wrapped up, Whitney had blocked every single one of their phone numbers.

Brandon thought, ‘Hold on. Emily can‘

Brandon turned to Emily. “Hand me your phone.”

Emily’s expression tightened, her heart pounding. “I’m the one Whitney hates most. There’s no way she hasn’t blocked me,

too.”

“She blocked us because we kept blowing up her phone with calls and texts. But you never did, so maybe she forgot to block you,” Brandon said, moving closer and reaching out for Emily’s phone.

Emily’s face turned paler, and she quickly tried to dodge Brandon, clutching her phone. “I’ll do it. I’ll call Whitney myself” Brandon frowned, not understanding why Emily was so jumpy about her phone. “Emily!

“Mom can’t wait, and she needs help now!” His voice got sharper as he glanced at Paula, who was sprawled on the couch, moaning nonstop.

Brandon snatched the phone right out of Emily’s hand.

Without a second thought, he opened up the contacts and started searching for Whitney’s number.

He figured it’d be saved as “Whitney” or “Sister.”

But after scrolling through the whole list, he still couldn’t find Whitney’s number.

He frowned, grabbed his own phone, found Whitney’s number, and dialed it.

He hit the call button.

On the screen, a name popped up.

Brandon was momentarily stunned, his frown deepening.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced over at Emily.

Emily averted her gaze, unable to meet Brandon’s eyes, guilt flickering across her face.

‘Brandon probably won’t notice, right?‘ she thought nervously.

Her mind spun, scrambling for an excuse to explain the contact name she’d given Whitney.

She never imagined anyone in her family would actually use her phone to call Whitney.

Growing up, her family always respected each other’s privacy, and they never went through each other’s phones.

She’d shamelessly set Whitney’s contact to a nickname that could totally wreck the persona she’d worked so hard to build.

But Brandon didn’t say a word. He turned his attention back to the phone.

The call went through.

Whitney hadn’t blocked Emily.

The phone rang for about ten seconds before Whitney finally answered.

“Whitney, Brandon said, his tone brooking no argument. “Come home.”

Whitney couldn’t help but laugh at his bossy attitude.

That laugh made Brandon’s face darken more. He cut straight to the chase. “Mom is having severe che re about to take her to the hospital.”

“Oh,” Whitney replied, her voice flat and indifferent. “Whatever happens to your mom, that’s your problem. You do keep me updated.”

Brandon’s voice grew sharper, a hint of anger creeping in. “Whitney. She’s your mom, too.” Whitney let out another cool, almost mocking laugh, her tone laced with sarcasm. “Oh? Is that so?

“I don’t recall you ever admitting your

Brandon scowled hard.

He was honestly shocked that Whitney could react like this after hearing Paula was sick.

He thought, Even if she is acting out, isn’t she taking it way too far?‘

Chase could tell from Brandon’s expression that Whitney had rolled her eyes at him, too.

He shrugged, looking exasperated.

He thought, ‘See, I’d said it. Whitney doesn’t listen to anyone anymore.”
