Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 

Ludwik didn’t dwell on it, and the conversation didn’t continue. He 

watched silently as she ate two bowls of oatmeal

The phone rang, and the man stood to go upstairs, I need to sign some paperwork.” 

Oh.Whitney’s lips paused, surprised by his initiative to speak to her. Could they be mending fences

Her heart raced with excitement yet feared it was all an illusion

After taking the dishes to the kitchen, Whitney went back to her room for her phone and found several missed calls

They were from Bryce, Valerie Bartels, Skye Gem Ltd.’s Nyx, and Tiana, who had called over a dozen times

She was about to call back when her phone rang again. Whitney answered with a rare cheerfulness, Why so many calls, Tiana? What’s up?” 

Whitney! Did you catch the news? You’re in deep trouble,Tiana Melford’s voice was laden with urgency

Whitney was taken aback. What news could she be in

She immediately opened the day’s trending topics and saw the top headline, Mr. Lippert’s wife caught in scandalous affair, explosive video released.‘ 

Whitney was dumbfounded and anxious as she clicked on the video. After watching, she felt the room spin

Whitney, why were you at a hotel with Bryce? The video has a timestampit’s from the 28th before the New Year. Weren’t you in South City that day? Could you be possibly set up?”

Tiana was frantic, The news is blown up. I can’t pull it down. I can’t believe you’d do this. I trust you, but Ludwik might not.” 

As she spoke, there was a sudden noise from upstairs

Whitney trembled, belatedly realizing she should get up. Her face was pale, and she ran out immediately

At the stairwell, Ludwik strode out with a chilling gaze

Whitney’s mind buzzed to 

standstill

Outside the villa, Elaine glanced at the stormy trending news and dialed a number, Jaxon, get the PR manager from Skyfaith over to Everwood Villa Estate.” 

She walked inside just in time to hear Whitney’s panicked voice, Ludwik, I” 

Ludwik!Elaine rushed to his side, feigning concern, You haven’t seen the news, have you? You’re still not fully recovered. Let’s skip today’s news and take a walk.” 

Her peacemaker facade barely concealed her intentions

Ludwik clenched his phone, the video still playing on the screen, with Bryce’s heavy breathing unmistakably audible

Whitney’s face drained of color

She shook her head, Ludwik, this is a misunderstanding. Let me explain” 

The 28th before the New Year, you were in South City taking care of Braxton and still found time for a tryst with Bryce? Tell me that’s a misunderstanding?” 

Ludwik descended the stairs slowly and stood before Whitney. His eyes were penetrating as he pressed the phone to her nose, Quite the

frenzy, biting each other’s lips off! Where did I get the confidence to assume that you wouldn’t dare cross the line? You harlot, playing me for a fool, is that fun for you?” 

It’s not like that!Whitney’s voice trembled as she tried to explain

That night Bryce was drugged, he called me in a panic to help him. The drug made him lose control, that’s why he clung to me in the bathtub. It was just a few mistaken kisses before I subdued him with 

acupuncture. Trust me. Nothing happened between us, really!” 

Do you think I’m blind?” 

Ludwik scoffed coldly, An eightsecond video, and there you were clinging to him like you couldn’t bear to let go. So you’ve been sleeping together all this time, right? I’ve been the utter fool!” 

I haven’t; I don’t love him! It’s you I love! I went to save Braxton for you.Whitney, you’re so hypocritical. You’ve cuckolded Ludwik so grandly and you still deny it?” 

Elaine joined in, her voice filled with feigned distress for Ludwik, “I can’t stand by and watch. You might not know, but Bryce is Braxton’s prized student. Whitney went to help him that night, not for you. She wasn’t in South City for you at all. Maybe she’s been in cahoots with Bryce all along!” 

What nonsense are you spouting, Elaine?Whitney shouted back, but Ludwik’s expression had already shifted

He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly

Elaine poured fuel on the fire, Ludwik, I’ve been meaning to tell you, Whitney’s been playing you from the start! When Keegan sought revenge, she colluded with Orion and already lined up Bryce as her next step

They’ve been intimate long before. She cheated during her pregnancy

and these days she’s insisted on staying under the pretense of taking care of you. Perhaps Bryce knew about your stake in Skyfaith 

Electronic Tech, and Whitney’s after it too!” 

Ludwik felt like he’d been struck by thunder. All reason left him when he saw the video, which convinced Whitney had been with Bryce

Elaine was right, it wasn’t the first time she had shown interest in the wealth of Imperial Gem Corporation

But this was too dirty
