Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1059 "Nonsense!" Sammy interrupted, fixing his gaze on the man's handsome features. "Is that what you told her? That the child is Florence's?"

Shane furrowed his brow in thought, trying to make sense of it all. "How could I deny it? Isn't that the case? Your dad came back from Eurovoria a few days ago, barely set foot on the ground before bringing the child over. Do you think this kid has another mom or that Ludwik has another woman?"

"You're talking nonsense."

"Well, Ludwik and you never say anything. And don't you two always come to see the child? I'm not dumb. This kid is definitely Ludwik's. He even said as much himself."

"Yes, she's his daughter, but she's not Florence's! Uncle Shane, you've messed things up. You've upset Mom and misled her!"

Sammy stomped his foot, a rare moment of losing his composure. But right now, his heart was filled with regret! He thought he had been careful. That morning, he specifically asked the bodyguard to drive around in circles, leaving the car at the neurology hospital just to create a false trail.

In their eagerness to visit their sister, they messed up. And now, unfortunately, Mom had found out. She knew about their sister's existence. But she misunderstood, thinking she was Florence's child, Florence and Dad's flesh and blood.

He was in deep trouble. He'd messed everything up...
