Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 898

Ashton: "I didn't just cuss you out, did I?"

"Where's Ludwik off to?"

"Eurovoria, chasing down Florence. Florence's gone and got herself all done up to look like Whitney, God knows what kind of mess they're planning to stir up next," Ashton said, the hassle of it all written all over his face.

Parker shuddered, his brows furrowing in a mix of shock and apology, "I guess that means Whitney and her kid are in your hands for the time being."

"Great, just what I needed, more crap on my plate!" Ashton let out a cold laugh, "Better hurry back before your old man skins you alive."

"Endora's digging her own grave." Parker stiffened up as he walked into the night air.

Watching him, Ashton thought, like father, like son; the Doonan family sure has a legacy.

He sighed, "Stop being such a pessimist, what if she really ends up dead?"

Parker snorted coldly. As the helicopter slowly descended, the wind ceased, and his tall, lean figure vanished into the cabin.

The next morning, Ashton headed to Delight Mansion to pick up Whitney for work.

Dressed in a tailored pencil skirt suit, Whitney was waiting at the door with her briefcase in hand.

The door opened, and Tiana stepped out, holding Cherry in her arms.

Seeing Cherry again, Ashton couldn't help but marvel at how much more remarkable she looked compared to Barclay. How on earth was she Barclay's daughter?

Barclay, the black sheep of the Doonan family, would have been done for a thousand times over if not for old Mr. Doonan's favoritism.

The ways of the world, utterly baffling.
