Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 859

Thea realized she'd been caught in Wade's web of love for far too long, and nothing was as simple as it seemed.

Now, with the Patrick Group in trouble, the foundations of their home were crumbling before they could even unite as a family. This wasn't the outcome Thea had envisioned. Her initial alliance with Wade to bring down Jason was meant to secure a better life and win her true love.

But hardly two months into enjoying her status as the first lady of the Patrick Group, was she about to lose it all?

Thea refused to be down and out. Meanwhile, Jason, who had hit rock bottom, was making a comeback with the help of his resourceful son, reviving the Lippert family fortunes!

Thea couldn't stomach this turn of events, nor could she imagine what Jason thought of her now.

She knew she had to rely on Wade for the sake of her son. She understood Wade all too well; the man was strategic and cunning, not impulsive like Jarvis.

"Jarvis, now that you're aware of your father's presence, call him dad and then leave us. Your father and I need to discuss some things."

"Mom..." Jarvis clearly disliked his mother's submissive tone.

"Aren't you going to listen to your mother?" Thea hinted with her eyes.

Jarvis clenched his fists, a flicker of fierce light in his eyes, as he cooled his gaze and reluctantly said, "Dad."

Wade, ever pleased, patted his shoulder, "Learn to be calm like your mother. She's both gentle and formidable. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to help me as much as she did back in the day." Jarvis wanted to scoff at that. To him, Wade was nothing but a man who had risen to power by exploiting a woman's love under the guise of romance.

Yet, Wade had his ways.

If Jarvis wanted to take control of the Patrick Group, he had to tread carefully around Wade.
