Elaine tried to steady her emotions, tugging at his sleeve with feigned confusion. "Ludwik, did you by any chance help Ms. Valentine visit her uncle Keegan in jail?"
Ludwik's frame stiffened slightly. Memories of that night when Whitney 'coerced him into a deal' darkened his handsome features.
Seeing Ludwik's silence, Elaine felt a storm brewing inside her. Her voice dripped with hurt, "Ludwik, why would you do such an unfair thing for her? I thought you were utterly disillusioned with her, and here you are, going behind my back..."
"It's not like that, Elaine," Ludwik finally had to explain, irritation creeping into his voice. "That night at the hotel, she deliberately took some misleading pictures and threatened to leak them to the press. I was worried about the backlash on you, so I fell for her trap." That woman was cunning; otherwise, how could she have forcefully reclaimed control of Skye Gem Ltd. right under his nose? He had underestimated her.
Ludwik gritted his teeth, not understanding why he'd even come to the hotel, not wanting to see that face, yet infuriated that she dared to hire Bryce as the chief consultant. Were they flaunting their love now? They weren't even divorced yet!
His anger made it impossible to focus on anything all morning.
Elaine, on the other hand, felt a rage boiling within her after hearing his explanation. How many schemes had Whitney concocted behind her back? Elaine thought the hotel incident was merely Whitney's covert revenge.
But to think she'd dare to threaten Ludwik, leveraging his influence to pressure the jail... Was Whitney using Ludwik's power to slap her in the face?
Elaine clenched her teeth, wishing she could tear that woman apart.
"Elaine." Ludwik's tone sharpened with a hint of suspicion. "How did you know I helped her visit the jail? Were you aware of Keegan's case?"
