Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 838

At such a critical juncture, any news about him couldn't leak out.

Pushing this woman too far might lead her straight to Barclay with her grievances, and that would screw everything up.

Moreover, he couldn't let Tiana catch even a glimpse of that medical report. Real or not, she'd jump to all the wrong conclusions about him!

So, he had no choice but to hold back, his thin lips releasing a shadowy warning, "We'll postpone breaking off the engagement for a few days. But, Endora, you better not stir up trouble!"

Ludwik's collaboration with Inko Group was about to hit the headlines.

Upon hearing this, Endora smirked triumphantly, boldly flirting, "That's more like it, Parker. Keeping me close is safest for you. Treat me well, and I'll be in a good mood, with no reason to bother Barclay. Right?"

Parker, fed up, shoved her aside and slammed the hotel room door shut with a resounding 'click'.

Endora felt discarded like trash, fuming and stomping her feet. Yet, the thought of successfully blackmailing him brought a smug smile to her face. Tiana thought she could tear her and Parker apart. Foolish girl, thinking she could outplay me.

After Tiana sent that email to Parker, he didn't reply that night.

Disappointment hung heavy on her heart.

She also fretted over whether he had even seen it. But if he had time to take Endora back to her hotel, what was he doing instead of reading her email?

Just thinking about it made Tiana's heart ache.

She spent a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Cherry, that sly little thing, dashed into her bedroom asking, "Mommy, didn't you show Daddy Parker evidence of that nasty woman's flirtations yesterday? What did Daddy Parker say? Did he decide to break up with her, realizing you're the good woman he should be with?"

Her daughter's chattering made Tiana tap her little forehead, "Self-praise much? Don't stir up trouble without knowing the full story."

"I might not speak clearly, but I understand the gist!"

"Why don't you call Daddy Parker and find out what he thinks?"
