Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 

The PR manager glanced surreptitiously at Elaine, then, pointing an accusatory finger at Whitney, fumed, Ever since that video of Ms. Valentine and the big shot CEO of Lutz Group came out, Skyfaith was inevitably thrust into the media spotlight. Mr. Lippert, your reputation is critical, especially since the company’s recent highprofile debut. Your wife’s cheating scandal is bound to affect Skyfaith’s stock prices, and that’s just not worth it.” 

Ludwik’s gaze shifted their way

The PR manager then shot Elaine a quick, And with Elaine attending the summit as your partner, the public’s been speculating about her role. The gossip about you, Elaine and Ms. Valentine is all over the place and it’s affecting Elaine’s good name too.” 

Ludwik looked towards Elaine, a selfmocking glint in his eyes

How foolish had he been to forsake a woman who actually cared about him in favor of forgiving Whitney

And now, truth to be turned out that Whitney and Bryce had already 

been intimate

The thought of having considered forgiving her in front of his own mother that morning, the internal tugofwar of his conscience made him feel utterly ridiculous

How pathetic was he

His heart felt as though it had been scraped clean by a knife, leaving 

not a shred of tenderness

What was there to love about such a despicable woman

He pulled Elaine close, gripping her hand tightly, Elaine’s reputation will not suffer on my account. Go ahead with your strategy.”

Chapter 209 

The best PR move right now would be for you and Ms. Valentine to sign those divorce papers posthaste, and push the civil office to backdate it before the 28th. Once the public knows you two are long divorced, her dirty laundry won’t be your concern. At the same time, we’ll play up your engagement to Elaine to distract the public and give Skyfaith a different headline.” 

Whitney curled up on the floor, fists clenched

Hearing this, she began to have her suspicions about the source of the video. She glared at Elaine with venom

Elaine’s peripheral vision caught Whitney’s scowl and returned it with a cold, triumphant sneer

She said gently, Ludwik, don’t worry about me. My reputation can take the hit, but Skyfaith is your business empire that you built from the ground up. I can’t bear to see it suffer.” 

Ludwik motioned with his hand, Lawyer, bring the divorce papers. What are we waiting for?” 

Elaine was momentarily taken aback, then a sly smile curled at the corner of her mouth. She had orchestrated this whole scene to force Ludwik’s hand, to make him sign the divorce papers quickly

The lawyer promptly presented two sets of divorce papers

Ludwik tossed them at the woman crumpled on the floor, not sparing her another glance as if even looking at her was revolting

His lips turned a cold, cutting sneer, Sign it, take your things, and get out. Don’t dirty my floors. You’re nothing but trash, and I’ll be damned if I spare you another glance in this lifetime.” 

Words couldn’t cut deeper than that

This lifetime without another glance

Whitney’s laugh was slow and pained, tears streaming down her face

as she breathed in sharply

With trembling hands, she completed the signing, murmuring not for him to hear, but as a bitter soliloquy, I stayed to look after you, thinking you were down and out, wanting to help you rise again. But clearly, you don’t need it. I’m relieved then. Let’s part ways, once and for all.” 

Ludwik paused sharply

– 

Parting ways those words stabbed straight into his heart, blurring his 

vision

Whitney set down the pen. Clutching her chest, she pleaded humbly, Just my cousin, you promised to let her go.” 

Ludwik let out a mocking laugh, filled with scorn

Well, consider it a condition of our divorce. Felix, throw her out. The thought of having touched her makes me sick!” 

Whitney clenched her fists tightly

Ludwik stormed upstairs, his eyes bloodshot with rage, while Elaine, satisfaction plain on her face, followed closely behind

Ludwik, your hands are shaking again” 

Elaine caught up to him, concern in her eyes as she produced an acupuncture kit, Let me give you a treatment, help you rest properly.” 

Elaine, thank you.Ludwik looked at her, weary, a selfdeprecating smile playing on his lips, After all is said and done, you’re the one who truly cares about me.” 

Elaine froze, then her eyes, still holding a trace of nervousness, met his. Seeing him so vulnerable like a child, she allowed herself to smile triumphantly. She knew any doubts Ludwik had about her were now on the back burner she was his sole comfort now

divo wa 

With the signed divorce papers, Whitney was out of chances

Elaine’s eyes flicked, a plan forming as she looked deeply at Ludwik

Moving behind him, she dipped the needle in a sedative and inserted it into a point at the base of his skull

Soon, Ludwik was deep in slumber

Elaine secured the doors and windows, then pulled out her phone to record a video, a sly smile spreading across her face

Ludwik, your kisses hurt so much” 

As moans and groans of intimacy wafted downstairs, Whitney stiffened

The PR team was still lingering below. They exchanged glances, their expressions varied as they looked upstairs

The sounds of passion echoed through the house

With a hard look in his eyes, Felix dismissed the managers, What are you looking at? Get out of here.” 

After the managers filed out, Felix gave Whitney a complicated look, helping her up with a sigh, Ms. Valentine, Mr. Lippert is just heated. Besides, given the situation, you should understand his impulsiveness. He might be out of control.” 

Whitney’s face was ashen as the noises upstairs continued unabated

She knew Ludwik well enough to recognize what was happening above. It wasn’t just kissing the sounds were of real intimacy

– 

A piercing migraine stabbed through her head, each pulse making it harder to catch her breath. Clutching at her shattered heart, Whitney thought bitterly how he had unceremoniously ripped away their last chance at reconciliation
