Chapter 405
Irene turned around to find Whitney Cox and Chad Ross, with two bodyguards escorting them.
However, Harvey was already in a foul mood, and Whitney’s mocking only irked him further.
“Mind your own business,” he snapped in retort.
Whitney’s face fell right then. “Watch your mouth!”
“I could say the same to you,” Harvey fired back-he was just feeling very frustrated and had no place to vent, and naturally aimed his crosshairs on Whitney since she was clearly trying to mess with them.
“What…” Whitney stammered.
She had been feeling frustrated after falling for Irene’s trap, especially since Chad became utterly disenchanted with her after learning that she had deliberately caused her own miscarriage.
Now, he offered her no leeway or freedom, and kept two bodyguards with her wherever she went, essentially keeping her under house arrest as well.
He also told her that she would regain her freedom after she got pregnant and delivered the child, and would not allow her to do anything before that-let alone help her..
It was only evident how much she had hurt him by aborting their child.
Naturally, without her freedom and unable to do anything against Irene or Isaac, Whitney was not going to be nice now that she saw Irene.
And yet, her attempt to throw shade at Irene was foiled, and she was left seething.
Glaring at Harvey, she snapped, “Look who’s talking-you’re just a lapdog, a bootlicker!”
Harvey chuckled coolly. “At least I’m not licking your boots.”
Whitney’s hands clenched into fists, just as Chad spoke.
However, he was just reminding her, “You’re here for a checkup, not a fight.”
Nowadays, he was a lot less docile and obedient toward Whitney.
Cowed-even a little scared-she turned quiet.
“Let’s go,” Chad said. “It’s time for your appointment.”
