Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1046

The chaos had indeed caught the attention of Germinia Corporation's headquarters.

"The mysterious person you were guessing about seems to have had enough, just like you said. Is he planning to come back home?" Parker said excitedly as he approached, but his details were vague, causing him to frown in confusion. "I don't get how the corporation works, informing the domestic shareholders with just an email about such a major decision. The entire company is still in the dark. If I hadn't asked a shareholder just now, I would still be clueless. And... they mentioned sending someone special? Ludwik! What if it's not the 'mysterious person' himself coming back? Then aren't we just chasing shadows, losing both our queen and our pawns?"

He rambled on, bombarding with questions.

Ludwik's eyes were narrowed in thought, his handsome features composed. "Just an email notification, without any direct communication with Inko Group's staff? That's worth pondering," he finally said, addressing Parker's first point. "What do you mean?" Parker felt out of his depth, like a soldier in a battle of wits with Ludwik, always struggling to keep up.

Ludwik gave him a slight, meaningful smile. "An email for notification, informing only the shareholders of Inko Group, suggests the person coming doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. The corporation's secretive approach has the domestic shareholders all jittery, creating an atmosphere of tension and pressure. That's a tactic. And it's typical of someone who prefers to stay under the radar. It reminds me of that time in front of the Germinialnko building, where we couldn't find out anything. Security mentioned that their chairman is rarely seen by anyone. Maybe it's the chairman himself coming over."

Ludwik speculated quietly, "The mysterious person? The corporation's chairman?"

"Do you think Bryce's backer, this mysterious person, could be the corporation's chairman?"

"It's not impossible," Ludwik said, pursing his lips.
