Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 995

"Seriously! I've been separated from her since I was a kid. It took me everything to get here, and crashing into your car wasn't part of the plan, I swear. I'm sorry. Can you let me go, please?" Erik peered into her eyes, noticing the fragile and fearful look in them, appearing genuinely distressed.

She didn't know the CEO was her mother and was still on the hunt?

If she had any clue, she'd have zeroed in on her target by now, and certainly wouldn't be in such a hurry to get away, right?

Seemed like a timid woman, terrified of stirring up trouble?

His eyebrows raised slightly, his voice probing, "What's your mother's name?"

Florence eyed him warily, "Why should I tell you? I don't even know who you are."

"My name's Erik, just an average Joe at the company." He observed her keenly.

"My mother's name is Parisa, but you probably don't know her." Florence gave a fleeting smile and turned to leave, "You saw there were people after me. I can't risk being spotted here, please let me go find my mom." Her demeanor was fraught with unease, causing Erik to frown, "Leave your contact info at least! You might still owe me for the damage."

The woman quickly scribbled down a number for him, then headed downstairs to leave.

With the number in hand, Erik didn't follow her. Instead, he went upstairs, pausing thoughtfully before entering the room she had been in. By the bedside, his searching gaze found two strands of long hair. Squinting, he thought of the CEO and picked up the hair.

Dialing a number, he said, "CEO, the girl has left. She didn't seem to recognize you, nor did she intentionally come to meet you with any ill intentions.

However, she did mention she came to Germinia looking for her mom."

"What?" Parisa paused.

"I found some hair by her bed. Should we get it tested?" Erik suggested.

Parisa's heart tightened. If the girl had intentionally come to get close, why leave, bypassing such an opportunity?
