Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 1132

"Hey, let Germinia's shareholders know that Parisa was killed by a man from Ludwik in Harmonia Country.

Once the shareholders are furious, they'll definitely pressure the Harmonia Country embassy to investigate thoroughly. Plus, with the president's anger at Ludwik, there's no way he'll escape."

Florence hesitated for a moment. "But what if Erik reaches out to the main office and accuses us of being responsible for Parisa's death?"

Bryce let out a cold chuckle, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "I'll pay off customs to destroy Erik's visa, making him an illegal immigrant in Harmonia Country. Then, I'll convince the shareholders that Erik was bribed by Ludwik to betray Parisa. Do you think they'd still believe him once they find out he's undocumented?"

"Good plan." Florence's eyes narrowed. "Ludwik might want to keep Erik as evidence, but it’s pointless. Parisa is already gone!"

"Exactly. As long as Parisa's dead, I have nothing to worry about. Look forward to tomorrow! This time, I won't just be rich; I'm going to completely uproot the Lippert family!"

Bryce sneered as he hung up the phone, then turned to a group of men dressed in black. "Parker and Whitney are probably coordinating with the police to find the body. Block all the paths to the canyon. As long as they can't get down there, the currents will have already swept the body away."

At dawn, a search team with two tracking dogs arrived in the dense forest.

Meanwhile, two of Parker's bodyguards rappelled down the cliffside, but found nothing.

"Mr. Doonan, it’s sheer rock all the way down. No branches to break a fall. If Mr. Sheldon really fell, he likely plummeted straight into the abyss. He would be injured, so we need to focus our search in the canyon..."

"Father," Whitney said, her face drawn and exhausted.

Nearby, Parker glanced at the news Shane showed him, and his expression darkened.

Parker nodded, his face set in determination, and left.

He rushed to the police precinct, where Shane was already waiting.

The two tall men exchanged a glance before entering the interrogation room.

Ludwik, tall and stern, sat with his hands cuffed in front of him. His features were strikingly sharp and cold, yet he showed no sign of fatigue or defeat.

When they arrived, he looked up with eyes as sharp as blades. "Mr. Nelson, Felix mentioned that Bryce has turned things upside down outside?"
