Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 679

"Hehe, guess I'm just your little helper then, huh, Grandma?"

"I get it, you'd never actually stay at the Lippert Resort. Just leave it to me to make up an excuse when the time comes. Grandpa's hitting the jackpot here without even realizing the benefactor is his own son's mother." Natalie flashed an awkward smile, "What kind of tongue twister are you spouting now? Just remember to keep it a secret."

"Sure thing! Grandma, let me walk you out."

The duo discreetly made their way out of the lounge.

Emerging from the restroom and about to head to the parking lot to find Bryce, Whitney caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"...Sammy?" she called out, curiosity piqued.

The moment she called out, the figure paused.

Whitney was taken aback, a strong conviction settling in her. She quickly approached, "Sammy! What are you doing here? You came to the auction and didn't tell Mommy?"

"Grandma, you better hurry," Sammy urged, pushing his grandmother towards their driver.

Natalie, too, didn't want Whitney to uncover anything to spare her grandson the awkwardness.

She quickly jogged towards a car.

Still, Whitney caught a glimpse of Natalie's retreating figure, her brows furrowing in thought, "Sammy, was that your grandma? She..."

"No, why would that be Grandma? I just accidentally bumped into an old lady and was helping her up," Sammy lied without blinking.

Whitney narrowed her eyes, recalling a previous encounter in the hallway where Natalie told Jason, "I brought my grandson here because he wanted to come, and I didn't see anything." Grandson...

Whitney's gaze drilled into Sammy's dark, peach-like eyes, suddenly pulling out his backpack and finding a laptop.
