Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 703

He couldn't wrap his head around it, dismissing the idea as ludicrous. "Dad, I just bumped into someone who fits the description you gave of the Inko Group's chairman-a face I've never seen before. I'm going to look into who's bought the new estate in Brew Hill." Jason nodded, his brows furrowed in frustration. "This is bad news. Your uncle found out that Wade Patrick is also investigating Inko Group. Looks like they want in on the partnership, same as us!

Ludwik, right now, the Lippert family is struggling to compete, not just with the Patrick Group but even with the smallest of companies.

You need to find out who this chairman of Inko Group is, and fast."

Ludwik's eyes darkened with determination.

"The money from the sale of Everwood Villa Estate, I plan to invest it in finance and real estate. For real estate, Shane Nelson is my first choice for a partnership. I'll go see him this afternoon." Jason looked anxious. "Shane, do you think he'll be willing to help us? When the going gets tough, people start showing their true colors, and the Nelson family is the second most powerful clan." Ludwik's gaze was profound. "Exactly because they're second, do you think the Nelson Group will bow down to the Patrick family? Shane's been biding his time; he has no respect for someone like Wade." Jason looked at his son. "You have a way with words, the very trait I admire in you, Ludwik. You're back. No matter how tough it gets, we have to keep the Lippert family standing. Go on!

I remember Shane, a young man who's made a name for himself at the Nelson Group. He's not easy to sway, as slippery as an eel. Convincing him won't be easy."

Ludwik was confident. "Everyone has a weakness, or something they desire."

"By the way, have you found Parker?" Jason suddenly asked.

"Of course," Ludwik replied, his lips pressed into a thin line. "I don't believe he's dead. Felix has mobilized all our resources."

"Don't forget about Parker's elder brother. Only by finding him can you win this lawsuit."

Ludwik's expression turned cold. "I won't let Jarvis get away with this."

Tossed about, Tiana Melford felt her stomach churn as if she was in the throes of a storm. Her head pounded, her throat felt blocked, she couldn't breathe. Instinctively, she turned over and vomited.

Only after expelling a large amount of seawater in an ungraceful manner did she slowly open her eyes, weak and disoriented.

Holding her stomach, she gasped for air, her lips pale. "Where... where am I? Not in the sea anymore?"

"Hmph, if you were still in the sea, you'd be dead by now," a coarse male voice retorted.
