Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 192

He took the eggs from her, plopping down to eat it.

Whitney just watched him quietly, mustering a smile. “Ludwik, are you simply indulging Elaine or are you truly in the dark?”

“About what?” He was clearly irritated.

Whitney took a deep breath. “Yesterday, it was your precious Elaine who deliberately lured me to the Oceanus Hotel. And Nyx, she’s not even eligible to attend the summit, yet she found me there. Who gave her the invitation to get in? Think about it, the news of our divorce, only you, me, the lawyer, Felix, and Elaine knew about it. Felix and the lawyer are tight–lipped, so who spilled the beans last night? Those men at the table, they pounced on the divorce to give me a hard time. Can’t you see it’s all Elaine’s plotting? She wants to embarrass me in public!”

Ludwik just snorted after hearing her out, his eyes narrowed coldly. “Don’t tell me you think that sleeping with me once has turned me into a fool?”

“Whitney, you really can’t wait to show your true colors. It’s all Elaine’s doing? Everything’s her fault, you’re the innocent one, you never damaged Imperial Gem Corporation, never turned Natalie into.a vegetable. How did I never see through your incessant lies before, blaming everyone else!”

Whitney was at a loss for words, she laughed lightly at him. “You really are playing the fool right now. You hate me, so you refuse to listen to anything I say. You only believe what you want to believe. Why don’t you go find out who leaked the news of our divorce last night?”

Ludwik frowned deeply.

Whitney stood by the table, locking eyes with his sickly handsome face, and suddenly said, “You slept so well last night, otherwise you wouldn’t have the energy to scold me now, would you? Don’t you remember? The night you had a hysterical episode in the hospital, you slept just as well, which made you wake up earlier the next day.”

“Let me ask you, during the week you disappeared, with Elaine by your side, did you sleep well at all?” His frown deepened. He had been away in Amoria Country for a week, with Elaine keeping vigil for hours every night, yet he had not found rest. He scoffed, “Don’t try to make a point using my sleep, or that night with the hysterics. I know Elaine saved me, what are you trying to confuse?”

Whitney bitterly smiled to herself. She reached for a Western analogy, “Ludwik, poor sleep is also a trigger for hysterical episodes. Since Elaine can cure you, why don’t you ask her why she hasn’t cured your insomnia? And what treatment has she given you these past few days?”

Ludwik pursed his lips tightly.

Whitney turned to Felix, her laugh was cold, “Even Felix knew to come find me last night. What do you think that means? If Felix thought Elaine could cure you, he would have sought her out last night.”

Felix was inadvertently dragged into the fray.

Ludwik glanced at him, his gaze sinking into contemplation.

Indeed, Elaine hadn’t started any treatment this week, saying his condition needed observation.
