Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 1059

"Nonsense!" Sammy interrupted, fixing his gaze on the man's handsome features. "Is that what you told her? That the child is Florence's?"

Shane furrowed his brow in thought, trying to make sense of it all. "How could I deny it? Isn't that the case? Your dad came back from Eurovoria a few days ago, barely set foot on the ground before bringing the child over. Do you think this kid has another mom or that Ludwik has another woman?"

"You're talking nonsense."

"Well, Ludwik and you never say anything. And don't you two always come to see the child? I'm not dumb. This kid is definitely Ludwik's. He even said as much himself."

"Yes, she's his daughter, but she's not Florence's! Uncle Shane, you've messed things up. You've upset Mom and misled her!"

Sammy stomped his foot, a rare moment of losing his composure. But right now, his heart was filled with regret! He thought he had been careful. That morning, he specifically asked the bodyguard to drive around in circles, leaving the car at the neurology hospital just to create a false trail.

He figured Mom wouldn't be tracking them since she wasn't even in the Lippert family, so she couldn't possibly know where they were. But he promised Dad he'd be cautious.

Who would have guessed? Mom was smarter than they thought.

Suddenly, Sammy realized that Mom's angry departure last night might have been a feint, a strategic retreat. Yes! He and Danny had fallen for it.

In their eagerness to visit their sister, they messed up. And now, unfortunately, Mom had found out. She knew about their sister's existence. But she misunderstood, thinking she was Florence's child, Florence and Dad's flesh and blood.

He was in deep trouble. He'd messed everything up...

"Uncle Shane, please help me find Mom. We need to explain everything to her! She's upset, she didn't even come in to see Danny and me, she must be heartbroken..."

Seeing the kid's eyes redden with urgency, Shane wasn't sure what he was supposed to explain. He just nodded. "Your mom left in a hurry just now, didn't even look for you two. She must be really confused. She can't have left the hospital too long ago. Let's hurry and find her if you're this worried."

"Sammy? Sammy!" Danny came out, looking bewildered. "What's going on?"

Sammy turned, his gaze heavy with worry. "Mom was here. Somehow, she found us! She discovered our sister..."

"What?!" Danny was left standing there, his face paling to match his brother's.

As evening approached, Ludwik remained patient. Parker's men had spent the day tracking Bryce from a distance, noting that he seemed to be making circles around Emperor City.

At 6:10, Bryce returned to the villa briefly, then headed towards Emperor City International Airport.

Upon receiving the news, Ludwik quickly prepared to leave the office. "Parker, it's time to move!"

Parker frowned. "Do you think the 'mystery person' will land at Emperor City Airport? If we plan to intercept, how many people should we bring?"

"I'll have bodyguards from the Lippert family sent over," Ludwik said, his expression dark. "We can't make a scene at the airport; we need to be discreet. Ten elite bodyguards should suffice."

Parker nodded in agreement. While the Doonan family had plenty of capable hands, most were in Banyan City. And asking the Wilson family for help might arouse suspicion among the Inko Group's shareholders.

The shareholders had no idea that Ludwik intended to intercept the 'mystery person' and uncover their true identity.
