Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 848

Whitney knew Ludwik had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He was prepared, calculating each move with Parker to corner Bryce into a dead end.

He was the silent force behind the scenes, the mastermind at the top of the pyramid, biding his time to swoop in for the victory. She couldn't help but admire him a little.

Her lips moved but she didn't speak, just letting a small smile escape.

"Is that recording of Chairman Phineas siding with Ludwik true?"

Bryce's face went from bad to worse.

Mr. Evans glanced around, then whispered to a few other board members, "It's more or less confirmed. Looks like Chairman Phineas has really been in Ludwik's camp from the start, never giving the Patrick Group or the Lutz Group a chance... So, this means..." "What does this mean?" Bryce snapped, the mention of 'Ludwik' igniting his already frayed nerves.

He scoffed, "The Lutz Group just had a minor product issue, exploited by Ludwik, that sneaky little rat. It's not the end of the world, I'm already handling it!
