Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 757

"No worries! Dad, you feeling any better?" Whitney approached the bedside, gently lifting him up.

"Bit better every day, I suppose," Hudson sighed deeply.

"That's great to hear," Bryce's eyes twinkled, casually steering the conversation, "Dad's been more lucid lately, even asked about the company last night."

At the mention of the Sheldon Group, Hudson's focus sharpened, his gaze piercing Bryce.

It was as if an obsession had taken hold, his thoughts consumed by one thing only. Suddenly, he called out to Whitney, "Whitney, I need to talk to you about something!" Whitney puzzled over why her dad would suddenly bring up the Sheldon Group, given she thought she had deflected any concern.

Hudson spoke gravely, "Damn it, Hugh and Holly betrayed me, nearly managed to swallow up the Sheldon Group.

After everything the Sheldon Group's been through, and with you just stepping in as the acting director, you might not have a strong hold over the shareholders.

I was thinking, it might help to bring Bryce into the Sheldon Group.

He mentioned a major real estate project last night that could collaborate with the Sheldon Group.

But it's not settled yet.

No need to think it over, Whitney. You two are married now, should join forces to grow both the Sheldon Group and the Lutz Group.

I trust Bryce. The collaboration between the Lutz Group and the Sheldon Group, just go ahead and seal the deal!

He can be a big help to the Sheldon Group. It's a win-win."

Whitney was taken aback, struggling to process everything.

Firstly, how did her dad know about Hugh and Holly's underhand attempts to take over the Sheldon Group?

She thought it would be too much for him to handle right now, so she had kept it from him.

Her eyes involuntarily darted to Bryce... Had he told her dad?

And had Bryce really brought up the Sheldon and Lutz families collaboration last night? Otherwise, how would her dad know?

He had been out of it for so long, yet upon waking, seemed incredibly close to Bryce.
