Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 689

At every turn, decisions at Sheldon Enterprises demanded a board meeting.

"You're keen on diving into real estate and finance, those are big areas I'll push forward. But it might not be quick."

A chilling glint passed through Bryce's eyes, though his face remained expressionless as he nodded, "I understand, thanks for the effort. Honestly, I just want to be inseparable from you, Whitney. It still leaves me feeling a bit uneasy." "Stop talking nonsense, we're practically family now. I've got to head to work."

"Alright."

As the car door closed, the warmth vanished from Bryce's composed face.

His gaze fixed on Whitney's fading silhouette, recalling the phone call from that morning-

"Mr. Lutz, Ludwik was indeed taught a harsh lesson last night, but then Whitney showed up out of nowhere and saved him. She's your wife, so I didn't dare say much. Rest assured, I didn't spill the beans!"-Lane. Bryce's eyes darkened with stormy thoughts.

No wonder she hadn't come home until after 1 a.m. last night. She had saved Ludwik and even booked a room, their ties seemingly unbreakable.

She had lied to him again.

That damn woman...

Bryce grimaced, starting his car. On the way, he texted Audrey: "Head to my office's lounge. Don't bother dressing up, just wait for me."

He needed to vent his frustration on a woman, unable to swallow the bitter pill of his anger.

However, just as he was nearing the Lutz Group tower, his phone rang.

"Mr. Lutz... It seems you're being followed."

The voice belonged to one of Bryce's trusted aides.
