Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 120

“What are you doing here?” Monica’s voice was a mix of hatred and fear as she saw Whitney standing at the door. The once robust figure had withered away after a long recovery from a broken rib and leg.

Ever since that scuffle with her husband, she had grown wary of Whitney.

Whitney lifted her eyebrows and smirked, “Step outside for a second. We need to talk.”

“You’re not cooking up some scheme, are you?” Monica could not help but feel suspicious.

Whitney dangled the bait. “It’s about your shares in Skye Gem. Don’t you care about that anymore?”

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Elaine strode out quickly, with Monica hot on her heels.
