Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 279

Chapter 279

Whitney put in some effort to position the man and herself just right, propped up her phone, and quickly snapped a few suggestive photos.

The hot water on the bathroom floor turned cold, her legs beginning to ache with the chill. Whitney frowned, cold and unapologetic as she stripped him of his suit jacket to wrap herself tightly.

Exiting, she still turned back for a glance at the man with his shirt off.

Whitney pursed her lips, dragging him out and laying him on the bed.

Opening her phone, a message from Kelvin caught her eye again: "Ms. Valentine, the court dismissed my appeal. It seems someone's pulling strings behind the scenes! We need to see your uncle ASAP, find a breakthrough in the case, and ensure he doesn't 'lose his voice' and suffer an unjust fate in prison."

Elaine and the Bartels family were closing in, the prison suppressing visits with unreasonable excuses.

In all this, Whitney was convinced Elaine was leveraging Ludwik's influence!

To unring the bell, you have to go back to the bell ringer.

Ludwik was not innocent, hence Whitney's plot for the evening.

Thinking of her uncle suffering as an alleged murderer in prison made Whitney clench her teeth in anger... Ding-a-ling—

Her phone rang abruptly, snapping Whitney back to reality. It was a call from Nyx.

She smiled slightly, things must be going smoothly for Nyx tonight.

"How did it go?" Whitney moved to the balcony to answer.

Nyx sounded jubilant, "Ms. Valentine, the auction house's Mr. Rufus wants a word with you."

"Then put the director on the phone," Whitney instructed.

The night air brushed against her flawless skin, casting a soft, cool glow.

After a pause, Mr. Rufus's voice, angry yet powerless, came through, "Ms. Valentine, you're young, but your methods are dark! You set me up tonight, took photos and videos. I see what you're up to!"
