    Chapter 472 You Think You’re Worthy?


    There was a suddenmotion at the entrance when the woman at the reception counter was


    hesitating.

    Hearing the sound, Whitney habitually turned to look in the direction, only to see a couple walking in.


    They happened to both be people she knew—the man was Dous, and the woman was Emily


    Phoenix, the president of Aimee International.


    The two looked intimate holding hands. Dous had a gentle expression on his face as he lowered his


    head to tell Emily something that probably was funny, as Emily burst intoughter after listening to him.


    However, now was not the time for Whitney to mourn. Ignoring the pain in her chest, she stomped in


    front of Dous. She then raised her gaze to see the man that she hadn’t properly looked at in four


    years.


    Dous’ body looked a lot firmer than it waspared to four years ago, and his masculine face had


    gotten more refined.


    “Mr. Lane, I am Whitney Campbell from the Campbell Corporation. I have something I need to talk to


    you about. Can you please give me 10 minutes of your time to hear what I have to say?” Whitney had


    blurted out her words as she held her gaze with her chin high.


    The man only threw her an indifferent nce. He didn’t have much of an expression on his face, and


    his voice was cold when he rejected, “I can’t make time now. I am with my wife.”


    Wife…


    For some reason, that word seemed to drive a knife right through Whitney’s heart. Even her face had


    turned pale.


    She knew that Dous would definitely marry and have children in the future, but when reality was


    presented right in front of her, she realized that her heart ached so badly it was trembling.


    “President Dous, I only need a bit of your time. I beg of you—”


    Her words were abruptly cut off by him.


    “Miss, surely you don’t have a hearing problem? I said I have something to do now.”


    His words felt heavy and chilly.


    After he finished speaking, he took Emily with him as they walked past Whitney. He didn’t even spare


    her a look.


    Emily only noticed something was odd after they had gotten into the elevator.


    “You were never like this, Doug. You have always been fairly gentle to women. Why does it feel like you


    are angry today?”


    Hearing that, he tried to not let his emotions show on his face. He had already guessed that Whitney


    woulde for him after he did such a thing. Even though he was already prepared, he still couldn’t


    hold back after seeing the woman.


    His expression slowly returned to his usual gentle one while his voice got softer.


    “No, I was just a little annoyed that my time with you was interrupted.”


    Emily lowered her head and mulled over it, and she seemed to have suddenly thought of something


    when she raised her head and stated joyfully, “Ah, I remember now! I have seen her before. I met her


    when I went to see Nicole back home. She is Nicole’s assistant.”


    “Mm,” Dous replied shortly without reacting much.


    She thought that he was behaving unlike his usual self today, but she couldn’t tell what exactly was


    different about him. In the end, she decided to give up on pestering him about it.


    Forget it, she convinced herself. Dous is a tactful man who has boundaries.


    On the other hand, Whitney had a dejected look on her face after she was rejected. But what else was


    she supposed to do when Dous wouldn’t see her and wouldn’t even give her the chance to speak to


    him?

    Dispirited, she sat on the stone at the door of F&R Enterprise. Her head was slightly raised as she


    looked up. The blinding sun made it hard for her to open her eyes and when she did, she could feel the


    tears rolling down her cheeks.


    She continued to sit there for a long time until Dous came out.


    This time, he didn’t have anyone beside him. Seeing this, she dashed toward him and held onto him.


    “Dous, can you give me a chance by sparing the Campbells?”


    He sneered when she went straight to the point. He then unhesitantly tore the hands holding onto his


    body as his dark eyes turned frigid and icy.


    His thin lips parted after a while, and he cruelly spat from his gorgeous mouth. “Whitney Campbell, you


    think you are worthy?”
