Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 648

Grace coldly walked past Heidi without a glance.

Heidi's heart ached with reluctance, but thinking of her own future, she glanced at Jason and felt compelled to chase after Grace, leaving Jason behind. "Mom, mom, I'm totally lost here. Give me a moment to think..." Jason's lips quivered with anger as he lay on the ground, his fists pounding the floor in frustration.

He watched in agony as Heidi abandoned him, just like his daughter had discarded her father.

The daughter he had raised turned out to be just like her mother, an ungrateful traitor!

Such betrayal, so infuriating.

As Jason struggled to his feet and gathered his strength to open the window, a frail figure rushed behind him, embracing him with a mix of fear and courage, pleading, "Please, don't!" The force of her approach sent both tumbling to the ground.

Sophie hit the ground hard but held onto Jason tightly, preventing him from falling out of the window.

"Who are you?!" Jason turned around, alert.

In the dim light, he saw the silhouette of a middle-aged woman, her body thin and fingers delicate.

Jason's gaze lingered, recognizing the shadow of Ludwik in her appearance.
