Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 731

Bryce's gaze was more crimson than ever as he yanked Florence toward him with a menacing quickness.

Florence had no choice but to endure his rough handling, a cold sneer playing at her lips. "Bright and early, Mr. Lutz is in such a festive mood. Could it be that your sister didn't satisfy you?"

"Don't talk about that... woman." Bryce scoffed coldly. "She ran off to Ludwik's place last night, lied to me about having work, and didn't come back all night."

"Tsk, your sister is a wolf that can't be tamed, despite all the years you've fancied her. And now, she dares to betray you. But, you said Ludwik was finished, didn't you? I wonder what she sees in him now, Ludwik's nothing compared to what you can offer. She really doesn't know how good she has it."

Florence's words struck a chord, hitting Bryce right where it hurt.

He snorted, his features twisted with hatred. "It's her own fault for being deceitful. I'll make her wish she was never born."

Florence's face lit up with a wicked smile, pleased by the turn of events.

"Just make sure you keep your word, Mr. Lutz. No going soft on her in the end."

"That's exactly what you're hoping for, isn't it?" Bryce narrowed his eyes. "By the way, Hudson's awake. When will you give me that medication?"

"Find a time to meet with my dad, slip it into his food, and he'll be under your thumb."

Bryce smirked, patting her head. "Be good to me, and once I take over The Sheldon Group, you'll be well rewarded."

"You're terrible..."

Their conversation quickly led to them becoming entangled.
