Chapter 458

Florence's tweet from the other night at 9 PM read: "Met someone who treats me like a treasure, Mr. Lippert- xoxo"

The accompanying photo: A delicate girl lying on a chaise lounge, with a man's arm supporting her head and his other hand on her wrist, taking her pulse. The pale beauty of her skin against the masculinity of his hands, an intimate touch, his body looming over her, as if they were about to kiss at any moment...

Whitney stared blankly at the photo, feeling as if her eyes were bleeding.

She knew that Florence had probably chosen the angle deliberately. After all, she had added her on Facebook just so she could see it, right?

Yet, the dull ache in her throat still surged forth.

9 PM the other night, wasn't that when he refused to give Danny and her a ride back to the hotel?

She had even looked at him then, thinking he had something else to do.

Turns out, he was in a hurry to accompany Florence, to take her home, tangled up in each other!

He was so enchanted by Florence that he didn't even care about Danny anymore.

Whitney could bear her own emotional suffering, but the thought of her son being wronged was unbearable.

No wonder Danny had deliberately blocked her view then. He must have wanted to spare her feelings.

Her eyes burned with unshed tears. He doted on his new flame so openly, was it any wonder he had promoted Florence to manager outright, always siding with her whenever she wanted to suppress Whitney?

To him, she must have become nothing more than an annoying mosquito bite.

"Ms. Valentine, Mr. Lippert is asking for you in his office!" Sandy informed her from the doorway, her voice laced with concern.

Fists clenched and eyes cold, Whitney turned to leave her office.
