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?”

That got Monica’s attention. Clenching her jaw with resentment, she followed Whitney out of the room.

Whitney glanced upwards, plotting her next move. Monica’s room was on the fourth floor, orthopedics, while L’s private suite was on the eighth. It was about time Elaine would be making an appearance.

She led Monica upstairs, making her way to the sixth floor. At the elevator, Whitney excused herself to take a call, leaving Monica to wait.

As the elevator door opened, Monica caught a glimpse of Elaine inside.

The news had just broken that Monica’s spot in the jewelry competition semifinals was in jeopardy.

Desperation had set in, and although her mother had tried to reach out to Elaine, she would not give them the time of day.

Now, unexpectedly facing Elaine, Monica mustered her courage and stepped into the elevator.

Elaine’s eyes held a warning.

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