Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 924

"What do you really want?" Tiana knew Barclay was caught off guard and definitely not pleased about it.

Barclay frowned, now that Parker was secretly protecting Fabian, his and Endora's influence at the police department was worth nothing. With the person set free, the initiative had essentially shifted to Tiana's hands. How could Endora's plan proceed now?

He had to discuss with Endora; feeling uncertain, he turned away to make a call.

At the hospital-

Endora had just received the news and was almost livid with rage. Without a doubt, Parker had intervened.

Damn it, despite being heartbroken by Tiana, he still quietly helped that... woman.

Grinding her teeth, the pain from her severed wrist tendons fueling her resentment towards Tiana, she thought for a moment and then said in a venomous whisper, "Fabian being released could throw a wrench in our plans. What we can leverage against Tiana now is her father's life. She wouldn't dare publicize the poisoning before we provide an antidote; she can't risk it.

But if you want her to agree to marry you, we still need to give her the antidote."

"Then wouldn't giving the antidote save Fabian?" Barclay grumbled in frustration.

"That's why," Endora narrowed her eyes and smirked coldly, "you give her half, got it? The other half, after the wedding."

Barclay was taken aback, then burst out laughing, "Right, you always have the best ideas!"

That way, the wedding would still happen, they would still hold Fabian's life in their hands, controlling Tiana. Once she and Barclay were married, she could forget about divorcing for the rest of her life, effectively ruining her life!

Endora's lips tightened maliciously. She hadn't anticipated that Parker would still defend that woman. She had thought that once Parker believed Tiana was after his wealth, he would grow to despise her. Even if Parker sensed something fishy about Fabian's murder case, he wouldn't get involved!

Now with Fabian released prematurely... Endora was caught off guard but thankful for her prior arrangements, ensuring Tiana couldn't make any moves. Just need to hold out until the wedding day, and her marriage to Parker would seal everything.

Moreover, Parker, in a moment of anger, had also implicitly agreed to marry her.

In his impulse to upset Tiana, he would definitely go through with the wedding.
