Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 818

Everyone was on Whitney's case, their disappointment turning into a heated confrontation that surrounded her from all angles.

Bryce watched from the sidelines, a smug glint in his eye as he saw Whitney cornered and alone.

Then Ludwik barged in, pushing through the angry shareholders to stand protectively in front of Whitney. His presence was so commanding that it silenced the crowd around them.

Ludwik glared at Bryce with disdain. "Bryce, calling you a man would be a stretch. Is deceit all you're capable of? Scheming against a woman?

Ah, so Whitney's father was disappointed in her, forcing you to step in and manage the Sheldon Estate project?"

He scoffed before turning to address the shareholders, his voice booming. "Are we all fools here? Would a reputable CEO really let an outsider meddle in company affairs without a good reason?

Or is it that Bryce, in his utter lack of morality, drugged Whitney's father and forced him to sign a contract while incapacitated?

That contract, signed under duress, is fundamentally void!"

The shareholders murmured among themselves, unsure what to believe.

"The contract is fake?"

"Mr. Sheldon didn't sign willingly?"

"What's really going on here?"

he stepped forward, a mix of bitterness and anger in his voice. "Ludwik! It's bad enough you took Whitney from me, casting me as the cuckold. Now you want to tarnish my reputation with your lies? Let me guess, the Lippert family's down on their luck, and now you're eyeing the Sheldon
