Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 840

Catching a glimpse of Whitney's furious face, he, aware of the inside story, hurriedly explained, "Parker had his reasons. To keep his being alive a secret, he had no choice but to shut Endora up.

It was all an act.

And Tiana, too, how could she not understand a man in crucial times?

Besides, Parker and Tiana's relationship has always been ambiguous, never officially declared.

So, it's not like Parker really wronged her, right? He was already engaged."

"What did you say?" Whitney exploded, punching the man hard on the chest, her face fierce, "Typical jerk talk! Tiana falling for Parker should be considered Parker's good luck. He's been leading Tiana on, how can he not be responsible?

And as soon as his fiancée shows up, he ditches Tiana, just like you, a total jerk!"

Ludwik, hit by the accusation unawares, fell silent, his lips pressed tight, at a loss for words.

"Whitney, I told you, Parker was just pretending.

Find time to tell Tiana the truth, ask her to play along."

Whitney looked at him with a speechless expression, "And you think she'll believe that?

She'll think I'm just trying to comfort her!

You don't see it; Tiana acts tough, but after what Barclay did to her, she's fragile inside. That's why she's been scared to start something new for years."
