Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 310

"Shush," Cherry scrunched her eyebrows in a serious manner, "Even though I have no clue what twins are, I won't tell. We're in this together!" Danny rarely relaxed his furrowed brows, finding her naively charming.

"Back to business, Danny," after a brief tease with Cherry, Sammy pulled out his modified laptop from his backpack.

Upon opening it, they were shocked to see the live feed from the surveillance camera in the penthouse suite upstairs!

Danny was impressed, giving his little buddy a thumbs up, "Wow, you actually managed to sneak into Elaine's room and plant a camera?"

"Hmph, if she's up to no good, I'm not just gonna sit around!"

The three kids huddled together, six wide eyes glued to the screen.

"Let's see what this wicked woman is up to," Sammy said.

But suddenly, in the monitor, Elaine approached their dad, Ludwik, and hugged his tall, imposing figure. Ludwik's ears turned red. What was going on?

Sammy and Danny exchanged puzzled looks, instinctively covering Cherry's eyes with their hands.

"Hey, hey... Why can't I watch?" Cherry struggled, her round face twisting.

Sammy frowned, "Why's this bad woman making dad look all feverish? No way, I need to check this out! Danny, we split up. You go to mom, make sure this woman doesn't get to her!"

"Got it!"

In the penthouse suite, Ludwik felt his head buzzing with heat, swiftly spreading throughout his body. He thought the heating was cranked up too high, loosening his tie to reveal a well-defined collarbone, yet still puzzled. Until Elaine approached him, her eyes deep pools of concern, "Ludwik, you're sweating. Do you need to take a shower?"

Ludwik fixed his gaze on her. His body reacted swiftly, his handsome face slightly darkening as he forcefully grabbed her wrist when she reached out.

"Elaine, what did you do to me?"

"Me? Nothing!"
