Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 971

"Rubbish! Only if Endora's gone completely bonkers," Whitney knew right off the bat there was a catch, "Did Ashton meddle with the police investigation?"

The other party paused, "You'll have to ask the Chief that."

"Officer, keep an eye on the custody suite for me, I'll be right there. There's no way I'm letting Elaine walk out of that precinct."

Without further ado, Whitney, fueled by rage, stormed out of the hospital.

To prevent Ashton from foolishly aiding Elaine behind the scenes, Whitney had someone inside the precinct keep her informed about Elaine's investigation. To her astonishment, Endora hadn't ratted her out?! Had she lost her mind? Was this not the time Endora would want to save her own skin?

What in the world had Elaine done?

Whitney cursed Ludwik for not dealing with that witch when he had the chance. Due to Florence, everyone had been too distracted, allowing Elaine to slip through the net.

It was evident this woman was a master at survival, with tricks up her sleeve far beyond the ordinary.

After committing countless misdeeds, Whitney was determined to prevent her from causing more trouble in Banyan City!

Twenty minutes later, Whitney arrived at the Banyan City First Precinct.

After parking her car, she had barely stepped in when she saw Elaine being released.

What enraged Whitney was the sight of Ashton standing next to her, signing documents and collecting Elaine's belongings, clearly ready to escort her out.

"Ashton!" Whitney's voice was cold, her eyes ablaze with fury, "What exactly are you doing?"

Ashton turned sharply, his brows knit in frustration, "Whitney..."
