Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 936

Even Tiana couldn't help but glance towards Parker's icy profile, puzzled by his sudden interruption of their ceremony. What on earth was he up to?

"Barclay, it seems you won't be getting married today. There are a few matters concerning you that I need to bring to light," Parker announced, his face expressionless, the corners of his lips curled up in a merciless smile as he stared down Barclay. Barclay's eyes widened in shock, and Tiana was left speechless.

Even Endora felt a creeping unease.

"Parker, what are you..." Endora's face paled as she tried to reach for Barclay's arm.

Before she could finish her sentence, Parker brushed her off.

Locking eyes with Barclay, whose composure was slipping, Parker pulled out some documents from his suit pocket and, before Winston could react, said in a chilling tone, "Barclay, you've forced yourself on the woman beside you and have been persecuting Tiana's family for the past three months!

You're implicated in deliberately offering predatory loans, enticing Tiana's cousin to invest in your family's Caldwell Estate.

After his investment failed, you had the Caldwell Estate refuse to repay the debt, effectively swindling him.

Fabian, wanting justice for his nephew, confronted the Caldwell Estate two weeks ago, resulting in a physical altercation with Thomas. But Thomas didn't die on the spot.

My investigation confirmed that Thomas was declared brain dead after being administered an overdose of painkillers at the hospital! I've found the doctor who, under your instruction, committed this act of medical murder. He has confessed to your role in the crime. You're involved in hiring a hitman, illegal lending practices, all to force this woman to marry you.

There's no need for a wedding today.

You'd better spend your day at the police station instead; they'll have a lot to discuss with you."

Tiana, wide-eyed, stared at his lips as he spoke, the words never before made her feel such a mix of tenderness and shock.
