Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 983

Chapter 983

Last night, she had been waiting for a call from one of Parker's guys, but exhaustion must have taken over, plunging her into a deep sleep.

By the crack of dawn, considering the efficiency of Parker's crew, she was puzzled by the lack of contact.

A wave of unease washed over her, and just as Whitney furrowed her brows in worry, her phone lit up with Ashton's name.

Her frown deepened, and she answered the call with a cool, "Ashton, what's got you up so early?"

"Whitney! I can't believe how cruel and heartless you are, hiring a thug to take out Elaine. Her heart was nearly pierced!" Ashton's voice thundered with rage.

Whitney was momentarily stunned, her sleepy eyes suddenly sharp with suspicion.

"What are you talking about?" she demanded, her grip tightening on the phone.

Was there a screw-up on Parker's end?

"You're playing dumb now! Can't you just let Elaine be? Hiring someone to kill her is illegal, Whitney. Even if you have Ludwik on your side, you can't just do whatever you want in Banyan City. The Fuller family won't stand for it, and neither will !!" Ashton was livid, his voice dark and biting, "Elaine's hanging by a thread. And I don't get it, why push her so far?

She's already at her breaking point!

She even admitted her mistakes to me, expressing shame for her past actions and a desire to make amends. Now, with nowhere to go and her parents ill, she thought of returning to Banyan City to find a way to survive. Maybe she hoped to turn to me, owing her life and all. That makes sense to me.
