Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 782

Chapter 782

Over there.

Whitney was driving aimlessly, suddenly realizing she had nowhere to go.

Covered in bruises, she couldn't show up at her uncle's, and Tiana had vanished off the face of the earth.

As for Ludwik... she didn't even want to think about him.

Eventually, she parked her car in the underground garage of Sandy's employee housing.

The apartment was one Whitney had arranged through the Sheldon Group, and Sandy lived there alone.

After ringing the doorbell, a sleepy Sandy came to the door. Seeing Whitney's swollen face, she gasped in shock, "Sis, who did this to you?!"

Whitney didn't answer her question but walked in tiredly, "I need to use your shower. I'll stay here tonight so my uncle's family won't worry." Sandy, mouth still agape with questions, watched as Whitney disappeared into the bathroom.

The mirror reflected Whitney's torn black dress, hastily left without even a coat in her rush to escape.

Noticing the red marks on her arm, her eyes reddened, and her heart grew cold.

Why had things turned sour with Bryce?

Initially, she was serious about making their marriage work. Perhaps everything changed after Ludwik kidnapped her to the island. That's where the seed of their rift was planted.

Ever since her return, she couldn't genuinely reciprocate Bryce's affections, always evading, unable to truly accept him.

That must have infuriated Bryce.

She admitted to herself that she was also at fault...

"Sis! It wasn't Bryce, was it?"

Sandy, waiting by the bathroom door, finally saw her emerge, holding some ointments, remembering Whitney had left with Bryce earlier that evening...
