Chapter 413

Whitney couldn't help but roll her eyes and wave goodbye to Bryce, quickly wrapping up their conversation.

She strode toward her apartment, a storm brewing within.

Danny suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked up at Bryce, letting out a sarcastic snort, "Cut the good guy act, Bryce. You probably knew from the get-go that my mom is from the prestigious Sheldon family, didn't you? Saying you support her is just a line to lure girls. What you really want is a shortcut to riches by marrying her. Dream on, man. My mom is taken, by none other than the country's top bachelor!"

With that, he stuck out his tongue and left.

Bryce stood still, his usually warm eyes darkening for a moment. He hadn't expected this kid to hit the nail on the head. When Keegan was released from prison and mentioned Whitney's background, Bryce had started paying attention.

His fists clenched slightly. He had thought after Whitney and Ludwik split, he'd smoothly step in. But Ludwik turning out to be the country's most eligible bachelor was a game-changer.

Bryce's eyes grew cold. We'll see about that.

The night before she left, Whitney met up with her two best friends, Tiana and Valerie.

"Man, everything's changed so fast. You're moving to Emperor City, Whitney. I'm gonna miss you like crazy," Tiana said, her eyes welling up. "And the Sheldon family, that's a major league. It's tough enough without adding in the high society drama. Who knows what you're walking into?"

Valerie, however, smirked, "Come on, Whitney's not someone to mess with. Aside from that dog Ludwik, who else could possibly cross her?"

That was spot on, and Tiana nodded in agreement. "Seems like women can't escape heartbreak, huh?"
