Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1036

Florence suddenly felt a jolt of adrenaline, swiftly silencing her phone. A stealthy glimmer passed through the corner of her eye.

She hopped out of bed, supporting her waist as she walked into the bathroom, firmly shutting the European-style glass door behind her before answering the call. With Germinia and Harmonia Country separated by a nine-hour time difference, it was deep into the night back home.

Only Bryce would contact her in such urgency.

Hiding in a corner, she picked up the call with a hint of impatience, "Hello, Mr. Lutz, why did it take you so long to get in touch? Is Phineas dead or not..."

"Ms. Sheldon, I'm Mr. Lutz's trusted secretary. Mr. Lutz is currently unable to speak with you...

He instructed me to deliver some good news to you. Phineas will never wake up again; he's become a vegetable!"

Florence's doe eyes widened for a few seconds. Her heart pounded fiercely, and a cruel smile formed on her lips, "That's fantastic! It's a pity he's still breathing, though. Feels like a loose end."

"Mr. Lutz wants you to worry not. You know, a vegetable is as good as a dead man. Pull the plug on the respirator, and there's no difference."

"That's true. This truly puts my mind at ease. Ludwik won't be able to ask him anything now!"

Excited, Florence quickly changed the subject, "You mentioned Mr. Lutz is indisposed; nothing serious, I hope!"

"A minor issue... Following Phineas' incident, his nephew Parker threw a fit. Blaming Mr. Lutz for hiring a hitman without any evidence, he's determined to lock Mr. Lutz up.

But Mr. Lutz is too clever for them. They've found no proof of his presence at the scene.

Mr. Lutz will be out in three days.

He asked me to remind Ms. Sheldon to quickly handle the task he assigned! Now, with no one steering Inko Group, if you can swiftly win over Parisa, praising Mr. Lutz's capabilities, and get her to delegate the domestic branch affairs to Mr. Lutz, he'll gain actual control. It's a takeover in the guise of stewardship.

Mr. Lutz said, this is also for your shared cause of revenge. Taking over Inko Group and amassing wealth is crucial!"

Florence clenched her lips, her eyes glinting with greed.
