Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1092

"Chairperson! Are you suspecting that Miss Florence might not actually be your daughter?" Erik finally grasped the situation.

He was taken aback by the revelation, though he couldn't help but recall the fleeting suspicion he'd had when he'd seen Florence's somewhat calculating demeanor.

"Other than the resemblance in appearance, she shows no other signs of being my daughter.

What if she's had plastic surgery to resemble me and used my daughter's hair to deceive us? We absolutely need to redo the DNA test!" Parisa exclaimed, slamming her hand on the table in frustration.

As her thoughts raced, she grew more pensive, "If she's pretending to be my daughter, then she must be in cahoots with Bryce! Do you remember the night we returned, and we were attacked?

Now, it seems like there's a lot more going on than I originally thought-I assumed Bryce was trying to set up Ludwik. But then I recall how he urged me to disguise myself to avoid Ludwik's retaliation.

But, what if we look at it from another angle? Why would he want me to disguise myself?

Could it be because he feared my real daughter would recognize me?

Erik, if Florence is an imposter, then my real daughter, named Whitney... she might be somewhere in Emperor City."

Parisa's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, and she stood up abruptly, visibly shaken. "We must keep this under wraps for now. We need to redo the DNA test and get another hair sample from Florence. Then, the truth will come out."
