Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 702

Ludwik's gaze darkened as he momentarily lost focus, his grip on the steering wheel slipping, and the car veered towards a turning junction, heading straight for an oncoming Maybach!

Instinctively, Ludwik tried to hit the brakes, but it was too late.

The two vehicles collided with a loud bang.

“Danny…” His first reaction was to anxiously look back at the rear seat.

“Dad, were you even driving properly?!”

Danny, being just a kid, was terrified and burst into tears.

Ludwik, apologetic, quickly got out of the car and rushed to the back door. Thankfully, Danny had his seatbelt on, showing his strong sense of safety. It seemed he had hit his head against the car door and was in pain.

“I’m so sorry, buddy. Are you okay?” he said, lifting the child out of the car.

The Maybach driver also came to a stop and quickly got out, asking with concern, “Is the kid hurt?”

After checking Danny over and breathing a sigh of relief, Ludwik replied, “He’s fine. I’m really sorry, it was my fault. I’ll cover the costs.”

The driver glanced at the sobbing child and then walked back to the Maybach.

The car window rolled down, revealing a man’s profile that seemed to belong to someone in his middle ages.

The driver asked, “Sir, how would you like to handle this?”

The middle-aged man glanced towards Ludwik and said in a low, cold voice, “Forget about it. Just make sure the kid is alright.”

Ludwik couldn’t help but steal a glance at the understanding car owner.

Then, his sharp gaze turned slightly surprised... The man in the car, dignified and clearly of no ordinary status, bore a striking resemblance to Parker Doonan?

The window closed quickly, so fast that Ludwik thought he might have been mistaken.

The driver came back, kindly saying, “Our boss said to let it go. Just be more careful when driving with kids next time. We have to rush, so we’ll be leaving now.”

“Thank you…”

Ludwik nodded, his gaze deep, watching as the Maybach quickly drove away.

The luxury of the car was comparable to that of a Bentley, and... it headed towards Brew Hill, the wealthy district.

Ludwik frowned. Since taking over as CEO of the Lippert family, he had thoroughly familiarized himself with the nobility of Brew Hill but had never seen this middle-aged man before. Was he a new resident in the Brew Hill elite circle?

He was sure this man wasn’t from the Emperor City business tycoons...

This brief incident didn’t distract Ludwik from his sorrow, though, because Whitney was going to live with Bryce.

He couldn’t believe Bryce wouldn’t lay a hand on her.

Just the thought of Whitney under Bryce was heart-wrenching.

Not to mention, he was even more worried about Whitney getting pregnant with Bryce’s child. Bryce was far from a good man.

Even if he couldn't be with Whitney, he didn’t want to see her jump into a pit of fire.

“Danny.”

Ludwik placed his son back in the car and hesitated before saying, “Could you maybe call your mom in a couple of days, tell her you had an accident, got hurt, and want her to come over?”

“...?” Danny gave his dad a speechless look, his tears stopping in disbelief.

“Ludwik, you’re not planning on using that old trick to deceive Mom, are you?”

The man realized he had indeed resorted to such tactics before, his face darkening.

Danny shook his head, “Mom hates liars the most, and you’re the prime example.

Besides, if I always oppose her being with Bryce, she might end up hating me too.”

“But it wouldn’t be lying since we did just have an accident, and you were scared enough to cry.”

Ludwik tried to reason.

Danny’s face darkened, angered, he wiped his tears away, “That’s because you can’t drive!
