Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 879

The thought that Tiana might be knocked up had Endora buzzing with a wicked sort of excitement.

A flame of jealousy ignited in her eyes, growing more intense by the second.

Today, she was on a mission to persuade the head of the maternity department to fabricate a medical record for her, claiming she was infertile due to a miscarriage she allegedly had years ago. Just a couple of days ago, Parker and Ludwik had scored a massive victory in the corporate world. Parker wasted no time in showing his true colors and dumping her.

The past fortnight, filled with forced displays of affection and an ongoing engagement under duress, had pushed Parker to his limit.

All he wanted was to ensure Endora wouldn't spill the beans about him being alive.

The enemy Parker and Ludwik were aiming to bring down was Bryce.

Tiana, on the other hand, was shocked to learn from a TV news report that Parker had another identity altogether - he was the scion of the Inko Group, a major corporation in Harmonia Country! That was a position of enormous power and influence.

Endora had always known Parker as a ruthless guy, the young master of the Doonan family in Banyan City, known for their influence in both the underworld and the legitimate business world. His methods were brutal, his tactics dark, but his capabilities were undeniable. Now, this man had an even more prestigious aura about him. In some respects, he outshone Ludwik, the most influential man in Harmonia Country.

Blinded by the allure of power, Endora was more determined than ever not to give up on Parker!

These past few days, Parker had ceased his surveillance on her at the hotel, clearly ready to burn bridges. He even declared that once he returned to Banyan City, he would break off their engagement, citing her indecent lifestyle and his lack of feelings for her as reasons. Endora was seething and at a loss. She suspected that Parker was in a hurry to end their engagement so he could run back to that wench Tiana.

But as luck would have it, any scandal involving Tiana was a powerful weapon in her hands!

With a cold smirk, Endora approached the nurse's station and feigned concern, "Nurse, could you tell me what illness that woman has come down with?"

"Who?" The nurse looked up at her.

Endora flashed a dazzling smile, "Tiana, I'm her cousin. I came to visit her."

"Why don't you ask her yourself?" The nurse replied cautiously, "We're bound to keep our patients' conditions confidential."

Endora's smile didn't falter as she leaned closer to the counter, "How about now?"
