Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 624

"I had no choice but to let the old man believe I'd turned into a fool. His reaction? Well, Florence saw it all, believing I'd become the perfect puppet she could manipulate at will. She let down her guard around me. That's my ticket in. To snoop around, unearth the secrets she's hiding with Ryan."

Danny caught on, "Got it! You're staying close, pretending to be loyal, acting like you don't recognize your own folks!"

Sammy nodded.

"But what's your end game? What's the mystery you haven't solved?"

Sammy's expression darkened, "It's about Mom."

"Mom?!"

"Before she fell ill, Ryan sneakily had her laid up in a hospital surgery room. At that time, I was trapped in that same hospital and happened to see her."

Danny's eyes widened as he remembered, "Was it a month ago? No wonder Mom said she thought she saw you after her hospital visit for a stomach check-up.

We even searched that hospital for you afterward, but you were gone.

Mom started to believe she had hallucinations.

But it wasn't! You were actually locked up by Florence in the hospital!"

Sammy nodded, signaling silence, "Ryan's not around now, but his household staff and daughter are.

Danny, long story short, there are speculations I'd rather not disclose just yet.

All I know is something must've happened to Mom in that surgery room. I'm worried Florence and Ryan implanted something in her... like a bomb.

I have to dig out this secret.

So, I must stay, keep my cover. I want to ensure Mom's safety. Do you understand?"

Danny's heart raced with anxiety, "You mean Mom's in danger?" His voice quivered, "God, I had no clue, and neither did she!

She thought she just had an endoscopy that day."
