Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 946

Endora's eyes, once ablaze with jealousy and defiance upon hearing Cato's words, suddenly dimmed into a quiet resolve.

She slowly absorbed his suggestion, grabbing her father's smartphone with a cold, bitter laugh. "Dad, Elaine's got the brains, doesn't she? If we can't destroy the paternity test, we'll just destroy the evidence... and the people involved! Let's see how Parker tries to prove his daughter's existence then. Whitney and Tiana, those two snakes, think they can pin this on me and have Parker come after me in a fury? And if Winston finds out the truth, given his temper, he'd wipe our family off the map... We can't let it come to that. We have to erase all traces!" Cato jolted, finally understanding the gravity of the situation with a shiver of fear. "But, this... this is..."

"No child, no wolf," Endora cut in sharply, her gaze turning icy and manic. "You and Elaine handle this. It's time for a diversion... They must have no proof left to stand against us."

Whitney's brow furrowed in concern as she drove to the end of the road leading to Sea Bay.

Parking her car swiftly, Whitney barely stepped out when she noticed the villa's approach was blocked by several vehicles.

A helicopter circled above, belonging to the Doonan family, as their bodyguards descended.

Nearby, Winston's Bentley stood with its doors wide open and two armed men in black guarding it. The sight of their guns made Whitney's heart skip a beat.
