Chapter 520

"No way!" Parker denied firmly, not daring to spill the beans that Whitney was expecting.

Ludwik was overprotective and anxious as it was, and in situations like these, the fewer people who knew, the better.

"Just make sure you look after Whitney, alright? She's been through a lot lately, got a bit under the weather. Don't let her pop pills willy-nilly."

"Why not? Whitney knows her stuff about natural remedies. Why wouldn't she know what's safe to take?"

"There's a saying, 'All medicines have their side effects.' Maybe brew her some chicken soup, give her a bit of a boost," Parker said, less than convincingly.

Tiana sensed something was off in his words but couldn't pinpoint exactly what.

Just then, both of their phones chimed.

Tiana's displayed a Facebook message from Whitney, asking if she'd picked up the groceries yet.

Parker, on the other hand, got a call from Felix.

He turned away to answer, Felix cautiously inquired, "I've sent some details about Bryce's movements in Emperor City to Mr. Lippert. Mr. Lippert was livid, told me to get the city officials to detain Bryce. I'm wondering, did Mr. Lippert fail to secure the lot for Ms. Valentine? Did they have a fallout?"

Damn.

Most likely.

Ludwik's earlier visit to Whitney was to deter her from moving her company to Bryce's territory.

Whitney obviously didn't agree.

"They had a row, we need to get back," Parker hung up and told Tiana.

"I knew it! With Ludwik's bully attitude, a fight was bound to happen! I don't get it. He's engaged, yet still hassles Whitney. What's his deal? He ignores his own son and mixes with suspects, I just feel so bad for Whitney!" Tiana had no qualms bad-mouthing Ludwik behind his back.
