Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair
Chapter 153
Chapter 153
Whitney translated the coldness in his tone; he was questioning her tardiness; his world had been shaken, yet she seemed indifferent.
She understood his sense of loss, but she had to swallow all the bitter consequences silently.
She could not tell him that she had run off to secretly save Braxton, turning danger into safety, all because of
the sin her uncle had committed.
She felt guilt weighing heavily on her soul.
Nor could she mention being trapped in a hotel with Bryce. In such a situation, she feared it might drive him mad.
Ludwik waited, a slow count of seconds ticking by.
Whitney choked back her bitterness, only able to look at him with hollow, sorrowful eyes and feign indifference. “I was taking care of Uncle in Banyan City, and my presence here wouldn’t have changed anything.”
The man’s grip on her collar suddenly loosened, his knuckles elegant and beautiful, yet so chillingly cold.
Staring blankly at his large hand, Whitney raised her eyes to meet his, now cold and indifferent, and felt the tears that had long been falling inside her heart.

“And then there’s Elaine, who dragged her sick body here last night, dealing with everything smoothly this morning.”
“There’s no comparison. What’s so good about Whitney anyway?”
The shareholders‘ complaints filled the air, and Elaine’s hidden smirk widened with satisfaction.
She walked tenderly to the man’s side, saying, “Bro, you’ve been up all night. Go rest for a while before we visit
Braxton.”
Ludwik’s lips were tightly sealed. Without another word, he left Whitney behind, his tall, stern figure getting into
the car.
