Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 556

Whitney felt her world crumble!

Facing Florence's madness, it was a gamble Whitney couldn't afford.

What she wanted wasn't just to see Florence behind bars; it was her Sammy, safe and sound!

Her child was what mattered most! So, she had always treaded carefully, not daring to burn bridges with Florence.

Poor Sammy had already suffered once.

Whitney wouldn't let him face danger or pain again.

Moreover, Florence's terms weren't impossible for her to meet.

It was indeed a way to escape Ludwik's grip.

Their entanglement should have ended long ago, no matter the means, no matter how messy it would get.

She had no other choice.

She hysterically lifted her head, "So, if I marry Bryce, that's it?"

"Yes, marry Bryce, and I won't touch Sammy. You'll get your son back, start a new life far away with both your kids. Isn't that a fair deal?"

Florence sat there, her gaze cold and piercing.

Whitney nodded, emotionless, "I agree."

Florence, smug and triumphant, hadn't finished, "Sis, our meeting today, and this conversation, Ludwik can't know a word. It's our secret, for Sammy's safety. Keep your mouth shut! And remember, it's you who wanted to marry Bryce, you're done with Ludwik, got it?" Whitney sneered, standing up, "Just make sure to send me regular pictures of Sammy. If he gets even a scratch, you get nothing."

"The thought of you, taking your son and leaving Emperor City forever, away from Ludwik, I can bear with him for that," Florence chuckled maliciously.

Dreaming of driving Whitney out, burying the truth about their father's shooting, and taking over the Sheldon Group with Hugh, living a life of luxury as the successors?

In her dreams!
