Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 230

Chapter 230

Ludwik slumped onto the sofa with an icy detachment as Felix hurried in, wincing at the sight of the wound on Ludwik’s arm, “Mr. Lippert, you really need to take care of that cut…”

“For a guy like Bryce, she actually tried to kill me,” Ludwik’s lips curled into a frosty sneer.

Felix shook his head, thinking to himself, “Ms. Valentine’s actions couldn’t have been just about Bryce. Any woman pushed to the brink like that might snap…”

“Ludwik, I heard you crashed Whitney’s engagement party. Is she here now? Oh my god, you’re bleeding so much! What happened?”

At this moment, Elaine burst through the door.

Ludwik looked up, his face stiffening with surprise at her unexpected arrival.

Elaine caught the flicker of guilt in his eyes and felt a flame of jealousy ignite within her.

Last night, on the eve of their engagement, he had left her alone at the villa, deliberately induced her period to avoid her, and she had bitten back her anger.

She had not anticipated his premeditation, that today he would have Bryce arrested and forcefully take Whitney back.

Thinking he was still secretly keeping that bitch? Elaine seethed with rage, sensing an unprecedented threat.

If it were not for the maid she sent as a spy, she would never have found this place.

But she could endure, her face betraying no hint of her fury as she rushed over with feigned concern. “How did you get bitten like this?

Ludwik, sit down, let me stop the bleeding for you?

Ludwik frowned, taken aback. Her demeanor was aggrieved but calm, and she immediately showed concern for his well–being, stirring a ripple of emotion in his heart.

“Why are you here?”

“You left me at the villa last night, and I was worried my parents would ask questions, so I kept an eye on your whereabouts, Ludwik, I didn’t come here to cause trouble,”

Tears welled in Elaine’s eyes, a picture of hurt innocence,

“Whitney and Bryce’s engagement must have meant they had feelings for each other. And with you plotting against Bryce, wouldn’t Whitney despise you to the core? I was worried you two might clash, and look, you got hurt.”
