Chapter 241

She trembled with unprecedented rage at the sight of Ashton, her fingers quivering with fury. “It’s all because you’re blind and foolish, siding with the devil, supporting Elaine’s lies! To hell with all three of you! I was blind to give everything to marry a scoundrel like you. I regret it!”

“What… What did you say?” Ashton frowned, taken aback by her vitriolic outburst. He had never seen her this angry before.

“Ludwik!” Valerie cried uncontrollably. “You have no idea what Whitney went through in that sanatorium. Last night, she finally escaped, intending to find you. Why were you so conveniently not in Banyan City at that critical moment? Can’t you see what’s happening?”

She was consumed with hatred on behalf of Whitney and Tiana. Tiana was now ruined, her whereabouts unknown, likely hiding, and terrified.

And Whitney, oh, Whitney…

Valerie covered her face and ran out, filled with despair.

At the entrance, Parker arrived late, his seductive, tired eyes barely concealed by his glasses.

Nolan was furious. “Where the hell were you last night? Ludwik’s child was born prematurely, and Whitney abandoned the baby and fled. We don’t know if she’s lost at sea or has escaped! Elaine claims it was a conspiracy between Whitney and Tiana, and now Ludwik is broken.”

Parker paused, glancing toward the ward.

“Tiana tried to set up Elaine by hiring thugs, only to be humiliated by them. Now she’s hiding somewhere, her reputation in tatters by morning.”

Parker’s frown deepened. That bubbly girl?

“Where were you last night?” Nolan demanded again.

Parker averted his eyes, the heat in them fading as he said, “I didn’t mean to be absent, but you know how it is in the underworld, always in trouble. I was ambushed last night and nearly killed, saved by a woman.”

He had risked his life, and now he feared he had brought disaster upon that woman.
