Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 402

Myra grinned, "Everything is going according to Ms. Sheldon's plan, smoothly as ever!

Today, the person you sent to the hospital found out Natalie got a nosebleed. Mr. Lippert is under immense pressure; now he has no choice but to make a decision.

But how could he ever part with Whitney?"

Florence chuckled softly, "I bet they had a massive blow-up."

Her eyes twinkling, she looked at Myra, "Do you know why I invited Mr. Lippert to the movies?"

"I created a scene. Mr. Lippert is a well-known figure, recognized everywhere. Wouldn't someone rush to tell Whitney about it?

I bet right. What I wanted was to drive a wedge between them!"

Myra realized with a cold laugh, "Ms. Sheldon, you're always one step ahead. Whitney doesn't stand a chance!

Even if the old man acknowledges his illegitimate daughter, you've already secured Mr. Lippert. She can't compete with you for him or the Sheldon Group…"

At the apartment.

Whitney had just finished treating Bryce's wound when his assistant came to pick him up, and she sent Bryce away.

Danny's call came late at night.

The little guy sounded tired but restless, "Mommy, were those harsh words you said to daddy true?

After we got in the car, I could tell daddy was really upset…"

Whitney sighed, feeling a headache coming on. Their massive argument was bound to affect the kids.

"Danny, your daddy and I… we don't have a future together…

Just because Elaine cleared up some misunderstandings doesn't mean we can just pretend nothing happened and get back together…"

"I know you think daddy was out with another woman, but daddy doesn't lie. He said nothing happened, so it didn't."

Danny frowned, trying to speak well of his dad, but Whitney was too angry to listen. She believed what she saw, and the photo sparked a major issue. They were like two angry lions, hurling hurtful words at each other.

She knew her words were harsh.

Seeing mommy stay silent, Danny tried to guilt-trip her, "Daddy hasn't come home yet. I'm really worried about where he might be, sulking somewhere."

"…He just went out to drink."

Whitney muttered, glancing at the number Nolan had called from earlier. His voice was hoarse from drinking.

Why was he telling her this? After berating her and then drowning his sorrows, did he think he was justified?

She was tired of his nonsense and hung up.

Drinking can lead to trouble...

"Don't worry about it. Now, go to sleep with Taryn, honey."

"But daddy was right to hit Bryce, mommy. You were too protective of Bryce tonight!

Before you came downstairs, Bryce said something to daddy. I couldn't hear it clearly from the car, but I saw daddy get really angry after that. Maybe Bryce was trying to stir things up!" Danny accused coldly.

Whitney was taken aback. Was this how Danny saw Bryce?

She suddenly thought, could the photos given to Elaine have been from Bryce?

She thought about it for a second, then dismissed the idea.

Whitney took a deep breath and gently said to her son, "Danny, you don't understand like Sammy does. Bryce has been a great help to me during tough times. I don't know what you saw, but Bryce has been good to me."

Danny pouted, frustrated. Bryce was cunning, knowing how to charm women!

If only daddy hadn't messed up, hurting mommy so badly that she couldn't see his good side anymore.

Sigh!
