Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 920

Ashton lingered, his mood as tangled as his crossed legs. With a frosty gaze, he looked at the man slumped before him. "So, you hate Tiana, fine. Consider it a favor to me and Whitney. Right now, me and Ludwik, we don't have the pull you do in Banyan City. Besides, this whole Fabian Melford mess, the truth is your brother screwed Tiana over. And your Endora, she's probably not innocent in all this either... You've always been about fairness. Are you really going to side with Endora? You don't even like her! Poor Fabian's got a serious heart condition. You wouldn't want to bring trouble to his folks, right?"

Ashton was doing his best to convince him to save the day.

Parker's brows knitted together tightly as he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. His cold eyes shifted to his subordinate beside him.

He had already asked for an investigation that morning.

But now, he couldn't care less about anything related to the Melford family.

Catching Parker's eye and seeing Ashton there, the subordinate finally dared to speak up, "Boss, I looked into it. Three days ago, Fabian got into a fight with Thomas at the Caldwell Estate, ended up killing Thomas. The Caldwell family accused him of murder, and now he's locked up.

Tiana came back because of this.

The Caldwell family, I checked them out too. Turns out they're related to Barclay's mother's side..."

Parker's eyelids twitched, his pupils narrowing.

Ashton chimed in again, reminding him, "Tiana going after Endora today wasn't without reason. Endora's no angel. Are you really going to be the villain in this story?

Then, how could Tiana not hate you?"

"Hate me? So she marries Barclay? She dares to marry the man who ruined her father, all for the sake of that bastard in her belly and a touch of luxury!" Parker spat out, still bitter. Alright, he was trapped in his own resentment.

Everything boiled down to him believing that Tiana's child wasn't his.

That was, in his eyes, Tiana's unforgivable crime.
