Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 547

The Lippert family's helicopter soon descended near the secluded mansion. Its loud roar pierced the silence, and inside the tightly shut gates, Florence, who had been in a standoff with the bodyguard, could hear it clearly. Pinned to the couch, her body twisted uncomfortably, she knew the danger was receding. A sly smile crept across Florence's lips.

"What's so funny?!" the bodyguard snapped, ready to act on Mr. Lippert's orders.

Suddenly, the sound of determined footsteps came from outside!

The family's butler, umbrella in hand, followed closely behind Jason as he stepped off the helicopter, tall and imposing. Several security personnel from Everwood Villa Estate, dressed in black, and a tearful, pale-faced Holly trailed behind him. Ludwik stood alone in the rain, watching them approach. The cigarette between his fingers burned bright red, as chilling as his gaze at that moment. The sight of him silenced Holly's cries.

She rushed forward, tears staining her cheeks, "Florence? Where are you? Ludwik, how could you bring my daughter to a place like this? She's carrying your child! What if something happened? I couldn't bear it. What has she done to offend you? She's already weak, and being pregnant makes it even harder. How could you confine her in such a place? Please, let her go!"

Her cries shook like leaves in the wind. Ludwik watched her performance.

Jason frowned, trying to soothe her, "Mrs. Sheldon, it's just a little misunderstanding between them. Since I'm here, rest assured."

"Ludwik! Is Florence inside?" Jason turned sharply, his gaze piercing.

"Where's the proof she's pregnant?" Ludwik asked, his tone indifferent.

His nonchalance made Holly clench her fists in frustration! She immediately pulled out a medical report from her bag, her voice laced with grievance, "Ludwik, our Florence is an innocent young lady of the Sheldon family. Could we possibly lie to you?" Jason's lips twitched slightly, "Mrs. Sheldon mentioned that Florence wasn't feeling well a few days ago and happened to have a comprehensive check-up at the hospital. That's when she unexpectedly found out she was pregnant."
