Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 793

Shane paused, "You guys installed cameras at your place?"

"It's not my place," Whitney lowered her gaze, "It's Bryce's mansion. I suspect he might have them. But I'm not sure, just to be cautious, I wanted to ask for your help to check it out. I need to snoop around his study without him finding out." Shane was taken aback but after the welcome party Elodie threw, he wasn't surprised Whitney was suspecting Bryce of something.

"So, you and Bryce are..."

"Yeah, I want to investigate him while I'm still around.

I think he's hiding a lot from me.

Whether it's Tiana's disappearance or Audrey's death, I also promised Sawyer I'd get to the bottom of it."

Shane said, "But you had me tail Bryce for a few days before, and the detective didn't find anything amiss."

That was what puzzled Whitney too.

But now she had a theory, "If he's always been good at disguising, is there a possibility that your detective was spotted by him from the get-go? Maybe even you've been played, and he's just been pretending to be a good guy to fool everyone." Shane's expression darkened. If that was the case, Bryce was far more cunning than they thought.

Thinking back, it was indeed odd that the detective didn't find anything.

"My detective mentioned he has a detector that can sense pinhole cameras."

Whitney exhaled, "Give me your detective's contact. I'll have him pretend to be an employee from my company and visit the mansion this afternoon. He needs to be careful not to leave any trace." "Sure." Shane turned to make the call.

Whitney also called Cody over and forged a resume for the detective from the Sheldon Group.
