Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 650

Whitney struggled to keep her mind from going blank, finding her feeble voice amidst the anger, "Ludwik, why the hell do you have Tiana's phone? Did you kidnap her?

Have you developed a sick addiction to abducting people now? How long will you keep harming me and the people around me?"

Memories of the island ignited a fire in her that she couldn't dampen, still haunted.

Ludwik, caught in the line of fire, swallowed hard, his deep eyes darkening with a hint of pain, "Whitney, you just got back and this is what you throw at me?" He couldn't believe she hadn't seen the news about the Lippert family's crisis.

Didn't she care at all?

"What else do you expect me to say?" Whitney spat out, the words sticking in her throat with rage, "You kidnapped my friend!

Ludwik, you've really hit rock bottom.

And Parker... I heard he's missing. Isn't it ultimately your fault?

If you hadn't kidnapped me, dumped everything on him, would he have become a target in your place?

You're the one who should be paying the price!"

Ludwik's features turned icy, his smile cold, "So, you think I should be the one missing, or even dead. That's what you're wishing for, isn't it?"

Whitney didn't respond, which was as good as a confirmation.

She didn't want to keep arguing, her voice dropping coldly, "I don't believe Parker would steal anything or harm the Lippert Group. His disappearance is on you. He's also my friend, helped me a lot, and I will find out what happened to him. And as for Tiana, leave her out of this!

She just had Parker's child, they weren't even that close. Why kidnap her?

Do you think that'll lead you to Parker? Have you lost your mind? You should be going after the real culprits, like the Patrick family, or Jarvis..."
