Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 940

Carmen gasped and stumbled back a few steps, caught just in time by her maid. Staring into her son's resolute eyes, she was taken aback, her lips trembling slightly with anger. Pointing at the woman Parker was holding tightly, she exclaimed, "You... Are you planning to elope? Foolish! You might escape now but not forever. If you dare to do this, the Doonan family will truly face a scandal because of you this time!"

Parker had his doubts, but at this moment, he couldn't care less.

Originally, Ludwik had shocked the entire Harmonia Country at Whitney's wedding, becoming the talk of the town.

He wasn't trying to mimic that, but he felt life was too short. Everyone deserved to live for themselves at least once, regardless of the consequences.

If he had to choose between power and love, perhaps... deep down, he was a hopeless romantic.

Thinking of his grandfather... Parker's lips thinned, his eyes as deep as abysses.

He no longer glanced at the high society guests whispering in the church. They were irrelevant, as was everything else but Tiana.

Their world needed no intrusion from outsiders.

Wrapped in the cold wind, Parker seemed unstoppable, dragging Tiana out of the church. None of the Doonan family's bodyguards dared to follow, all intimidated by his aura. The young master, usually so resolute and unyielding, was acting out of character.

Parker's unstoppable demeanor even left Whitney speechless, who hadn't figured out how to persuade Tiana to stay. Eventually, she could only watch as Parker 'abducted' Tiana!

Such madness. He was no less daring than Ludwik had been...

Whitney stood frozen, her heart racing, as she watched Tiana's frail silhouette being lifted into a helicopter. She let out a heavy sigh, her emotions quietly soaring with excitement.

"Mommy... Mommy! I want to go too, I want to go with you and Daddy Parker!" Cherry stomped her feet in frustration, her little legs chasing after them until she stumbled at the church's entrance.

Ashton nudged Whitney.

Snapping back to reality, Whitney quickly picked up Cherry, dusting off her dress. "Cherry..."

"Whitney, you have to stop Mommy! It's great, Daddy Parker is a real hero. He caught that Barclay today, and since he saw Mommy had no one to marry, he kindly married her!"

"...Well, that wasn't exactly out of kindness."

He had been plotting this all along, utterly unexpected.

Hearing about Tiana's wedding to Barclay, Parker had been a cold fury. Whitney almost believed Parker would marry Endora out of spite.

Thinking back to Parker's domineering move at the wedding...

Whitney couldn't help but smirk, whispering to Ashton with a thumbs-up, "The Doonan family's young master is indeed himself, turning the wedding into such a surprise. It took seeing the coffin for him to finally shed tears. Ha."

Ashton offered a half-smile, shaking his head at Tiana's naivety and disdain for Parker's antics, "That kid must've been desperate. All his brooding before the wedding... Damn, I practically announced Tiana was getting married, and he ignored me. Thought he'd given up... Tiana finally got him to take a step."

"Not just a step, Parker took ninety-nine. I'm impressed. Despite his hatred, he's got a high EQ for a man, fighting to take back the woman he loves. Honestly, he seems smarter than both you, Ashton, and Ludwik."
