Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 733

The bodyguard was making his way towards her.

Tiana sprang to her feet in an instant, grabbing the IV drip tube and wrapping it around the bodyguard's neck!

"Lady, what are you trying to do..."

"Shh. Nothing much, I just want a word with your boss," Tiana threatened immediately. "Best not to fight back, or it'll be bad news for you if I get hurt. I'm the only one with the antidote. I can't exactly run away, can I?"

Caught off guard, the bodyguard hesitated, and Tiana seized the opportunity to dash out and lock the door behind her.

Tiana scanned her surroundings, still intent on escaping. Suddenly, she heard voices coming from the room next door in the corridor.

Approaching, she noticed the study's door was slightly ajar.

A person looking like a secretary was reporting to a middle-aged man, "Mr. Wilson, ever since you've been spotted in Emperor City, numerous companies have been inquiring about Inko Group. These companies are eager to collaborate with Inko Group, probably having heard of your backing by the president and your vast wealth.

Among the companies submitting their proposals, the Patrick Group is the most formidable, followed by the Nelson Group, and the newly risen Lutz Group.

Additionally, the Lippert family has also approached us, with Ludwik seeking a partnership."

"Ludwik?" Phineas reacted with anger, "After what he did to Parkie, he's got some nerve!"

Pausing for a moment, he commanded, "At the Brew Hill banquet in a few days, Ludwik is not welcome.

Also, return the Lippert family's proposal immediately; they don't qualify for collaboration.

I've heard about Ludwik's philandering ways and how he ruined his own family's fortune by eloping with someone else's bride. If he doesn't fall, who will?" Phineas's tone was disdainful, exuding an air of superiority as if Ludwik was beneath his notice.

Outside, Tiana listened in on their conversation. Inko Group?

She reassessed the middle-aged man, noting his aura of untouchable nobility.

Inko Group... that sounded familiar. She recalled Felix mentioning it.
