Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 1146

One of the shareholders still had doubts, "But Ms. Tennyson’s body hasn’t been found yet. We can’t be certain she’s dead, can we? What if... Ms. Sheldon is rushing to inherit the company, it might be a tough sell to the others."

Bryce felt a chill at the corner of his eye, just about to voice his inner certainty.

His phone rang just then. It was his informant, "Mr. Lutz, Whitney has pulled back the search and rescue teams and bodyguards from the Grand Canyon! I saw her crying her eyes out, clutching Parisa's blood-stained dress, heading towards the funeral home..."

Hearing this, Bryce's confidence was as firm as a hammer striking an anvil.

“They couldn’t find the body, she’s given up, probably taking the dress to be cremated.” He sneered, his lips curling cruelly as he hung up the phone, and turned to the shareholders with a triumphant air, “Rest assured, I guarantee Ms. Tennyson has met an unfortunate end!”

Even Whitney had given up.

Whitney and Ludwik, those two defeated souls, were entirely out of moves.

Bryce wrapped up things with the shareholders and clinked glasses with Ronan Miller, complimenting him, “Ronan, I’d appreciate it if you could rally the officials tomorrow to support me!

Once I successfully take over Inko Group and become the power behind the president, imagine what that would do for your career. You could be looking at a promotion to full minister!

When I take over GerminiaInko Group, I’ll help expand the Miller family’s influence overseas.

Who knows, in the next presidential election, it might just be one of us in the top seat!”

He patted Ronan Miller on the shoulder, hinting heavily. Ronan Miller, filled with ambition, couldn’t help but be impressed by Bryce’s capabilities. Previously squashed by Ludwik, yet here he was, turning the tables. If Bryce could be brought into his political fold, the presidency might not be a distant dream after all.

“Don’t worry,” Florence assured him. “I’ve already taken care of the notary. We’re just winning hearts now. How about your end?”

Bryce’s lips curled with a cold satisfaction, “The shareholders we’ve bought off will play their part. Ronan Miller might control the narrative, and your company inheritance will be nothing but harmonious news.

Besides, Whitney’s left the canyon, and she’s off to cremate Parisa’s dress.

Poor thing, she’s lost everything.”

Florence’s lips curled in satisfaction, “No wonder she’s been silent while I’ve been pressuring the Sheldon Group. Her mom’s death must have broken her! And with Ludwik in jail unable to help, what tricks could she possibly have left?”

“Ludwik won’t be causing any trouble tomorrow, and as for Whitney, she wouldn’t dare show her face at Inko Group. No one knows she’s Parisa’s daughter! Once Ludwik’s sentenced, I’ll have my fun with Whitney.” Bryce’s eyes gleamed with a mix of resentment and desire.
