Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 628

Parker scratched his head in frustration. Ever since Ludwik fell head over heels in love, he had become more of a handful than ever. He tried to reason with him, "Anyway, you should come back soon. Your dad's sick, laid up in the hospital!

And with the chip development success, there's so much data... Who knows how many people are eyeing it greedily right now?"

Ludwik paused, then responded in a low tone, "Parker, you're the one I trust the most. Keep guarding the lab personally, don't let even a fly in! I'm worried about your safety too, don't leave the lab for any reason."

In Ludwik's mind, sharp as a knife, the person to be most wary of at this time was Jarvis.

But he had been exiled, stripped of his connections and resources. He couldn't touch Parker, and Parker wouldn't fall for his tricks.

Parker said, "Sure, I won't leave the lab. Right now, your uncle's in charge, and he's still loyal to you."

"Let's hang up."

Ludwik casually ended the call, his tall frame standing on the deck, lighting a cigarette.

He hadn't made any effort to keep his call with Whitney a secret.

Thus, Whitney, in the cabin, heard everything he said, loud and clear.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She hadn't expected the latest chip to be developed so smoothly.

She wondered how the market value of The Lippert Group would double once it hit the market, making Ludwik unbeatable not just in Harmonia Country but globally.

She was well aware of Skyfaith's chip prowess, with the previous success of the Sharp-F Chip marking a victory for him.

Would he succeed again this time?

Whitney felt despair.

Was she really unable to escape this man, to be under his shadow and control for the rest of her life?
