Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 644

"If I spill the beans to Whitney, that her marriage was all your backstage maneuvering, and that it was you who used Sammy to blackmail her, do you think she'd still want anything to do with you?" Florence dropped the bomb, fully expecting Bryce to be petrified.

Instead, the man merely chuckled, a dark undertone in his laughter. "Florence, you seem to be missing the point of your current situation.

Ludwik is down and out, your so-called backup plan has vanished into thin air.

Do you have any idea who's backing me?

The top family in Harmonia Country-the Patricks!

Cross me, and you're essentially crossing the Patricks and Jarvis. Do you really think you'll come out of this unscathed?"

"You...you're in cahoots with the Patricks."

Florence was utterly shocked. She had never seen it coming. Bryce, that supposed country bumpkin from Banyan City, when did he get involved with the Patricks?

Bryce cut in, "Did we have a deal before? I don't remember, and you'd do well to forget it too.

I'm not someone you can afford to mess with."

His voice was icy as he hung up.

Florence, holding her phone, shivered involuntarily.

Bryce was more venomous than she thought, spinning Whitney around his little finger.

She couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of joy at Whitney's predicament, thinking she wouldn't fare well in Bryce's hands.

But from now on, she and Bryce would have to keep their distance.

Ring-ring-Hugh's call came in urgently.

Florence, already on edge, answered irritably.

"Florence, did you threaten Bryce? The guy I sent got caught by Whitney. It's only a matter of time before she wrings the truth out of him. Keep Bryce out of this! Tell him to let the guy go!"

Florence's irritation grew, "It's no use, Uncle. Your rash actions...I didn't expect Whitney to find out so quickly.
