Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 809

Whitney clenched her fists tightly, trying to calm herself down. She clicked open another document, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw two photos of her sons, Danny and Sammy. The date the files were added was just after she returned to Harmonia, not long after her arrival.

The photo of Danny was clearly taken without his knowledge, outside the gates of Everwood Villa Estate!

Whitney's heart sank. The date... wasn't that when she had just returned to Banyan City and had her showdown with Ludwik?

At that time, she didn't even know Danny existed. But how did Bryce get his hands on Danny's photo?

She remembered Elaine being the first to discover she had two sons, conspiring with Jarvis to kidnap the kids in an attempt to eliminate them.

Could it be... Bryce had leaked this information to Elaine, using her to get rid of the children?

At that time, Bryce was ardently pursuing her...

Whitney's heart plunged into a cold abyss, a wave of hatred and rage bubbling up. Just how many terrible deeds had Bryce done behind her back?

The car accident a few days ago wasn't his first attempt at harming her children!

Her fingertips grew cold, almost certain that Tiana's disappearance was also linked to him.

Since this information was here, Whitney quickly scrolled down, hoping to find a clue about his involvement in Tiana's disappearance.

Suddenly, a soft 'click' sound, and a spark of light at the doorway!

The sound of a lighter!

Whitney froze, then looked up sharply to see Bryce standing at the entrance of the study.

He was like a ghost, silent, leaning against the doorframe, a lighter obscuring his eyes, casting a sinister glow that reflected off his gaze directly onto her.

Whitney was utterly shocked. How did he come back so suddenly?!

Wasn't he supposed to be dealing with the mess she had secretly orchestrated at the Lutz Group?

In that moment, Whitney's heart shuddered violently, her delicate face turning pale.

Her voice trembled, unable to speak.

Bryce was the first to break the silence, his voice smooth but with a mocking undertone, "Whitney, the power and internet are out, aren't you scared? What brings you to my study all of a sudden?"

Looking at his smile, Whitney felt an unsettling chill. She quickly straightened up, feigning calmness as she shook the mouse, "Yeah, I was a bit scared when the power and internet suddenly went out. But I saw your computer still had some battery left, so I thought I'd come here to get some work done."

"Find anything interesting?" Bryce suddenly stepped closer, a cold aura surrounding him.

But what chilled Whitney even more was the cunning in his eyes.

Her eyes turned icy, her body trembling with suppressed anger as she faced him, "Bryce, I never thought you'd be so despicable and venomous. Even three years ago, you were plotting against me and Ludwik, stirring trouble in our marriage. You've used Elaine multiple times, but in reality, you're the true villain behind the scenes!"

"All of this was because I love you, Whitney," Bryce said with a smirk, glancing at the USB drive in her hand. Knowing she had seen everything, he openly admitted with a playful tone, "That video from South Inn, I never intended to keep it. But you just wouldn't leave Ludwik, acting so foolishly attached to him. I had to show the video to Elaine to pull you out of that mess.

It was all for your own good. I genuinely liked you back then, wanted you to be with me."

"So you secretly forced me into an engagement with you, leading Ludwik to nearly coerce me into an abortion?

Your kind of 'liking' is terrifying, downright twisted."

Bryce scoffed coldly, "Ha. If it weren't for me, Ludwik would have tormented you to death by now!

But you, you ungrateful wretch, instead of being thankful, you return to the country after three years and get entangled with Ludwik again. I endured, only to repeatedly find out you were back in bed with him, betraying me!

Back then, Ludwik was so arrogant, constantly stomping on my dignity, making things difficult for the Lutz Group, and you were his accomplice! I swore to myself, I'd marry you, take my revenge on Ludwik, and pay back all the neglect and coldness you showed me, with interest!"

Whitney stared at him, her eyes wide with shock, struggling to contain the anger seething within her.

Though she had suspected Bryce's motives for marrying her were ulterior, it was only at this moment, hearing him confess, that she realized just how twisted and malicious his intentions had been. He had harbored such deep-seated hatred for her.

She felt a chill run through her body.
