Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 858

Florence never thought Ludwik would pull such a bold move, flipping Bryce's world upside down.

With Bryce out of the picture, she had barely settled back into the Sheldon Group when Whitney's shadow loomed over her once again, threatening to kick her out. Florence was determined not to spend her life being overshadowed and tormented by Whitney. That woman... was now her only way out. Staying would only lead to being caught by Whitney eventually.

"Fine, I'll leave. But will the journey be safe? And the baby, the doctor said there might be a risk of premature birth in the next two months."

Bryce glanced at her belly with disdain, his eyes blazing with hatred, "I want Ludwik to suffer deeply in the future, and you must bring this child into the world. I'll have someone escort you. Tonight, you'll disappear without a trace, same goes for when you arrive there. But remember, Florence, once you find that woman, don't even think about pushing me aside.

You're a fake, and I know everything."

Bryce pointed at his own eyes with two fingers, his face sinister as he warned her, effectively silencing Florence's scheming thoughts. She gritted her teeth inwardly.

He knew her secret, and it seemed she couldn't shake off this dog.

With a flattering smile, she said, "If I make it big, I'll definitely help you, Mr. Lutz, through this tough time."

Bryce smirked, ambition still burning in his eyes, and patted her face, "That's more like it. I'm counting on your good news. Better do as I say."

At the Patrick family.

In the study, Wade and Jarvis were fuming. Jarvis cursed out loud, "These arms dealers from the Middle East are acting like bandits. It's our fault our product didn't hit the market, but why should these companies demand ten times the compensation? The contract stated double.

Uncle, we're about to lose five hundred billion just to these three arms dealers.
