Chapter 371 Carter Will Eventually Dump You

I fought hard to control the turmoil rising inside me and asked Whitney, "Yeah, it's me. Are you okay?"

She placed her hand into mine, and I gently pulled her up. Whitney said, Tm fine."

I glanced around, not seeing Taylor anywhere. "Isn't he supposed to protect you? Why are you here alone and being bullied?"

"I-I'm fine," she said, her gaze shifting nervously.

I noticed some bodyguards in black, which made it clear that she was under surveillance.

But since she was from the Whites, they couldn't do anything to help her.

Could I make use of this opportunity to take her away?

Nina saw us talking and ignored by us. her face turned dark.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" She snapped.

Ishot her a cold glance and asked, "Are you talking? Sorry, I thought I just heard a dog barking."

"Zocy, stop gloating. You weren't even allowed at the Gardners' parties before, and now you think you're something just because of an arranged marriage? Do you really think you're so special? By the way, did you hear? Tiffany Dolton is here too. You might want to keep an eye on your husband. Everyone knows she likes Mr. Bolton.""

Tiffany Dolion?

I had no real impression of her. Zoey rarely attended such parties, and I wasn't familiar with Jaford's high society.

Although I wasn't sure about the other men, I know full well about Carter's character.

If I doubted him, then I'd be wasting his love for me.

"Is that so? Then why did my husband marry me and not her? Does that mean he doesn't like her?"

Nina glared at me with a venomous look. "Enjoy it while it lasts; Mr. Bolton will dump you sooner or later."

"Don't worry about it. It is still far superior to certain childhood sweethearts who are unable to marry into the Pearson family after all these years, don't you think?

I led Whitney to the side. She walked awkwardly. I asked, "Did you hurt your knee?"

She nodded and said, "It's nothing. I'll be fine after resting for a bit."

"Let me check if it's more than just a bruise."

There were no other people around, so before she could stop me, I gently lifted the hem of her skirt to Took at her calf.

The red mark on her ankle had faded significantly-if you didn't look closely, you'd miss it. But higher up her leg, I clearly saw deep purple bruises in the shape af fingerprints. "Don't you have a heart condition? How could he do this to you?

Tears shimmered in Whitney's eyes, and my heart achel more for her.

She was my silly sister by blood.

That girl was once the princess everyone adored. Why did she have to endure all this suffering?

Her skin was pale, and the slap Nina had given her had already turned her cheek red and swollen.

I reached out to gently touch her face. "That must hurt, doesn't it?"

"It doesn't hurt.

Whitney come with me

Before I could finish, I heard Taylor's voice behind me.

"Thank you for handling the situation, Mrs. Bolton."

1 swallowed my emotions and turned to face him. "Mr. Taylor, you're well aware of Whitney's heart condition. How could you let others hurt her?" Taylor's

s gaze fell on Whitney's swollen cheek, and she said, "It was a misunderstanding. Mrs. Bolton, there's no need to worry. Whitney, come here."

I grabbed Whitney's hand and said, "I can help you. Did he do something to you? Don't worry, you can tell

me

Taylor's eyes narrowed, and his voice grew colder. "Whitney!"

She flinched and immediately tried to pull away from me. "Thank you, Mrs. Bolton. I'm really fine."

With that, she slipped further from my grip, but I shook my head. "Whitney, trust me, I can help you."

This felt just like that time she fell into the river, and I jumped in after her.

"Hold on to me. I'll pull you up."

"I don't have the strength."

"Don't let go!"

But the rushing river pulled our hands apart, inch by inch.

"Whitney!

She returned to Taylor's side, and I still couldn't figure out what hold he had over her that made her so afraid of him.

With a cold face, she said, "Mrs. Bolton, we're strangers, so please stop making assumptions about my life. I'm doing just fine."

Then she linked arms with Taylor and walked away.

Just like that night, her back grew more distant, and I could only watch as she disappeared from my world.

Whitney vanished into the garden, and I didn't dare to make any moves.

A breeze blew, snapping me out of my thoughts.

Since Carter was nearby, I turned to replace him, but instead, I saw a strange woman throwing herself into his arms.

"Carter!"
