Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 332

Whitney's face went ashen with worry as she came out, "Tiana, if we can't find Jaxon, not only will we not be able to save your uncle, but you might also get dragged into this mess!

You're suing the Bartels Medical Center, and it's clearly a fight to the death between you two. If you can't expose the Bartels, and they win the lawsuit, they'll definitely pin you down with a defamation charge and quickly have you thrown in jail! Damn it, this Jaxon, you saved him, and he's playing you dirty!"

"Tiana, haven't you received any blackmail from Jaxon?" Bryce suddenly asked.

Whitney shook her head, "Not yet. He's playing mind games, trying to find my Achilles' heel."

"Besides, even if he blackmails me for millions, after I pay up, he's not going to show up to testify for me. It's very likely that on the day of the trial, he'll threaten the Bartels again. Eventually, he'll just take the money and disappear." "What a jerk."

When dealing with sneaky people, you've got to grab them by the throat.

Jaxon's Achilles' heel: His parents were already sent abroad, Whitney couldn't find them in time, a distant water can't save a nearby fire.

What else could be his weakness?

Whitney thought all night, her throat dry, when suddenly a thought crossed her mind in her semi-conscious state.

She remembered something she had overlooked!

"Tiana, can you help me," Whitney got up to call Tiana, "The day Jaxon was brought back from the brink of death, he was dreaming and kept calling out 'daughter'... At the time, I didn't pay much attention, just found it odd that a young, unmarried man would have a daughter.

Now I think, he might have had a daughter with some woman out of wedlock. If his daughter is in Banyan City, living under a pseudonym, Jaxon would definitely not disturb the child in a crisis. He would stay far away, but if I could find this daughter, I could force him to show up!"

This was indeed a ray of light in the darkness.

But the problem was, Tiana wondered, "The trial is tomorrow, and you want me now to verify a message that might have been just a dream? Whitney, are you sure you're focusing on the right thing?"

Whitney clenched her eyes shut, "It's a gamble! Otherwise, I'm just going to show up in court empty-handed. Jaxon's expression at that time was tense, I'd rather believe it's true."
