Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 113

But this time, she did not show her face.

She simply shared some exciting news: she was about to return from abroad and wanted them to prepare for her arrival.

For Whitney and Tiana, this was undoubtedly great news! They would definitely grill Valerie about her love life once she was back.

Moreover, Whitney had a hunch that the mysterious benefactor backing Monica would be revealed with Valerie’s return.

Whitney stood up to settle the bill, but Tiana stopped her with a frown, reminding her, “Do you realize Monica is staying at this hospital? Didn’t she suffer a broken rib recently? It hasn’t quite healed yet. Elaine and Monica are out to get you, and you need to be careful not to let Monica cause you trouble.”

Tiana had a feeling that many bad things were happening to Whitney lately, so she reminded her.

Yet a thought flashed across Whitney’s mind, connecting her earlier suspicions..

Monica, Elaine…

Her eyes darkened. What if Monica’s benefactor was Elaine?

The thought sent shivers down her spine.

“I got it.” Whitney said, calming her thoughts and waving her hand dismissively.

But no sooner had she stepped out of the café than a few police officers blocked her way.

They spoke to her in a negotiating tone, “Ms. Valentine, your husband disagrees with using you as bait to lure the criminal, but we still need your assistance…

He is hospitalized, and the criminal is lurking nearby. He’s skilled in martial arts, so he’s quite dangerous. I suggest we take the offensive instead of you being on constant guard. Don’t worry. We’ll ensure your safety and that of your unborn child. You just need to make an appearance, and we’ll have officers everywhere…”

“No, Ms. Valentine!” The bodyguard who accompanied Whitney immediately rushed over to stop them.

Whitney looked at the police, then at her bodyguard, her eyes reflecting deep thought.

She was pregnant, and under normal circumstances, she certainly would not take risks.

But the fact that the criminal had suddenly targeted her the day before was peculiar. Felix and L thought the criminal had followed L and thus discovered she was his wife.
