Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 850

Ludwik thought he could set Bryce up for bankruptcy overnight? Bryce wasn't one to be trifled with so easily.

A sinister laugh escaped the man's lips.

In the afternoon, inside the chairman's office at Sheldon Group.

Whitney was meeting with Mr. Liam and Mr. Evans to discuss internal restructuring when Tiana burst in. "Whitney, we've got a problem."

Her tone shifted, her expression grave. Whitney immediately gestured to halt the meeting and looked up. "What happened?"

Tiana, clutching a tablet with a mix of anger and betrayal in her eyes, leaned over and whispered, "Bryce is playing the victim online! Look at these trending topics...

He's the master of manipulating the clueless public.

How many bots did he hire to twist the story?"

Whitney took a moment, then took the tablet to see for herself.

The morning's scandal about 'Patrick Group and Lutz Group's failed product launch' had been pushed down.

In its place were various trending entries about Bryce, with Ludwik's name prominently featured.

Online users speculated, "Did you guys not see that Ludwik teamed up with Inko Group to screw Bryce over, all for Whitney?"

Another asked, "How can you be so sure?"

Someone replied, "I have a friend working at Sheldon Group. Reliable source says after Bryce's company took a hit, he immediately went to Sheldon Group to pull his investment. But guess what?

Whitney cold-heartedly funneled his billions into a project overnight, leaving Bryce penniless in his time of need!"

"Really? Is she that heartless?"
