Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1147

Florence smirked, the kind of smirk that said she was up to no good. Whitney, with her reputation as the town's scandalous woman, was still a mystery as to why Bryce was so obsessed with her. Did he really think he could win her over?

But really, Whitney's fate was sealed. Her mom had passed away, her man was behind bars, and she was left with nothing.

Meanwhile, Florence was basking in all the luxury and wealth she could ever want.

At 8:40 PM, Whitney was driving back from the "funeral home" when she got a call from Parker. "Whitney, my sources tell me Bryce is throwing a big bash at the Palace Club tonight. He's wining and dining the bigwigs from Emperor City, and a few Inko Group shareholders who are looking to jump ship."

Whitney listened quietly, sensing there was more to come.

Sure enough, Parker chuckled coldly. "I just saw the buzz online-Inko Group's having a shareholder meeting tomorrow. Bryce's got his eye on you, thinking you're out of the picture since you just left the Grand Canyon. He's ready to make his move."

Whitney quickly checked the news on her phone, and there it was. Several media outlets were hyping up tomorrow's Inko Group shareholder meeting as a major event.
