Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 800

"There's someone behind you!" The woman's voice was icy as she quickly hung up the video call.

Phineas frowned instantly, slamming his laptop shut and whipping around, his sharp gaze landing on Bryce. "Mr. Lutz, why the comeback?"

Bryce calmed the turmoil inside him, putting on a scholarly smile as though he hadn't seen anything alarming. "Oh, Mr. Wilson, nothing much. Are you still busy? I just remembered a detail in the contract and thought I'd come back and ask you about it." Phineas immediately closed his laptop, his expression displeased. "Ask."

Bryce posed a trivial question and then politely made his exit.

Once out of the business hotel, the face of the woman from the video call haunted him. Rubbing his chin, he recalled how Phineas had treated her with great respect, even calling her the chairman. He had heard rumors about a big boss behind Inko Group. Could it be this mysterious woman?

And she seemed to be living abroad?

"She's the spitting image." The spitting image of Whitney...

Bryce's eyes narrowed in thought, a plan forming in his mind. "Check out Keegan's villa!"

Soon, he arrived at Delight Mansion.

Bryce had the driver stop, and from behind the gates, he saw Keegan pushing a wheelchair out.

That face... The more Bryce looked, the more he saw the resemblance to the woman in the video call.

He always remembered Whitney saying her mother had died long ago.

Including the time Keegan came back for revenge against Ludwik, believing Ludwik had caused the deaths of Whitney's grandfather and mother.

But the appearance of that woman was too shocking for Bryce.

Phineas had called that woman Parisa?

Bryce's gaze lingered on Keegan, suspecting he knew about the incident with Whitney. Recently, whenever Bryce had called Keegan to check in, Keegan would just hang up.

Approaching him now to ask about Whitney's mother would only arouse suspicion and lead to Keegan revealing nothing.
