Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 638

Joanne was shell-shocked, a tsunami of tears crashed down her cheeks as she collapsed onto the floor of the hallway, a wreck of despair. "Oh, Justin, my boy!

It's all because of your dad, ignoring Ludwik's advice. Now it's too late, that Jarvis turned you into a fool.

Oh, that cursed Jarvis!"

"I'm going to get rid of Jarvis, I swear I'll take down the Patricks, those snakes!

Didn't our family, the Lipperts, help out the Patricks enough in the past? Where's Thea? Thea, where are you?

Heidi, tell me where Thea is!" Riley was beside himself, pounding his chest and leaning against the wall in despair.

Heidi's eyes were brimming with tears, her face a mask of helplessness; she didn't know where her mother was. Ever since the Lipperts fell from grace, Thea had disappeared.

Her father was ill, and yet Thea never visited.

Her mother's heart had completely turned to the Patricks.

"Uncle, I..." Heidi was struggling too..

With eyes red from crying, Riley slumped to the ground, "Big brother, what do we do now? Justin's been made a fool by Jarvis, you're sick, and Ludwik's been arrested. Our family, the Lipperts, it's all falling apart..." Felix wiped the corner of his eye, lips tightly pressed, "Riley, Mr. Lippert won't just let this go."

"But what can he possibly do? He's charged with kidnapping, he can hardly save himself now.

With rumors flying everywhere, those old influential friends of ours won't step forward. They're all too busy pledging loyalty to the Patricks. If Ludwik refuses to speak, he won't be getting out of jail." Riley's eyes were filled with defeat.

Felix clenched his fist; he had already contacted Ashton, and they were on their way to Emperor City by helicopter.

Felix had another plan, which involved seeking help from the Nelsons, represented by Shane.

He was determined to try, no matter what.
