Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1206

Sandy's breathing was a little uneven as she shot back, "Whit, how did you know I'd bump into Shane?"

Whitney paused for half a second, realizing she'd slipped up and sounded too eager.

"It's just because-"

"Because you knew he was following me?" Sandy's voice trembled with anger, barely keeping it together. "Whitney, are you hiding something from me? Are you and that creep Shane in this together?"

"In this together? Come on, Sandy." Whitney rubbed her temples, exasperated. Since when did Shane become a creep?

She felt a pang of guilt-after all, she did know more than she was letting on.

And Sandy, in Shane's hands, was just a clueless little lamb.

Whitney tried to soften her tone. "Sandy, is Shane with you right now?"

"Answer my question first," Sandy shot back, her stubbornness flaring.

"I'm your cousin, for heaven's sake! Who would I be teaming up with?" Whitney tried to sound reassuring.

Sandy paused. She wasn't one to accuse people without reason, and Whitney had always been good to her.

Biting her lip, Sandy's voice was shaky, embarrassed, and furious. “Whit, something's happened! I'm so confused and freaked out. I don't know why Shane
