Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 

Whitney raised an eyebrow and looked at Monica with amusement as if she were watching a court jester perform

Standing beside her, L. towered with an impeccable posture, blatantly ignoring Monica as if she were beneath 

his notice

Let’s get going,he said, turning with an air of distinction

Whitney followed him, delicate and soft, which only made him seem more imposing

Simon watched from behind, his eyes simmering with an intense, fiery anger

Whitney!He barked, halting her in her tracks

Monica’s face soured instantly

Whitney paused, and L. glanced at her. I need to take a call. The driver will pick you up. Can you handle that?” 

She nodded with a faint smile

With a cool glance back, Whitney watched Simon approach, eyeing L as he walked away to take his call. Who the hell is that guy?Simon demanded

None of your damn business.” 

How can you associate with riffraff? Whitney, have you sunk so low?” 

At least I’m not scavenging for coins in the gutter.” 

Her words stung Monica and Simon, and onlookers struggled to suppress their laughter

Monica’s face turned icy while Simon’s expression grew colder. He grabbed Whitney’s hand and sneered, Riffraff without a car, right? He’s probably riding a motorcycle. I’ll take you home!” 

The sound of his car keys jingled, and the headlights of a Lamborghini flashed

Monica feigned concern as she approached. Oh dear sister, you must have walked here, right? You should be careful, especially being pregnant, even if the father’s identity is a mystery. Let Simon and me take you home. What if something happens to you on that motorcycle?” 

The elite ladies nearby cast disdainful glances at Whitney. As beautiful as she was, it baffled them why she would be with a thug

Whitney remained silent

Then, the unmistakable roar of an ultraluxury car approached, and when the onlookers recognized it, they collectively gasped

A oneofakind, limited edition Bugatti Veyronnot just the car, but the consecutive numbers on the license plate left Simon and Monica dumbfounded

Such a license plate number symbolized power, something even the elite of Banyan City could not procure

Whose car was this

The driver stepped out, respectfully calling, Ms. Valentine, your car is ready.” 

He addressed her as Ms. Valentine, not as the lady of the house, which suggested L’s directive. With a knowing smile, Whitney swept past the stunned Monica, Yvonne, and Preston, and gracefully got into the car

The Bugatti Veyron sped off, leaving a cloud of exhaust for the Valentine family to choke on

The surrounding socialites were abuzz. Who has Whitney gotten involved with? That license plateonly the Lippert family in Banyan City could”

Chapter 27 

No way Whitney’s involved with the Lippert family!Yvonne interjected with scorn. She’s ruined. She’s just latched onto some guy with a fake plate!” 

Monica, jealous to the core but feigning sorrow, added, She’s disgraced our father.” 

Simon’s complexion turned sour. How could Whitney know a man with such a car

A deep resentment bubbled within him. Whitney was supposed to be hisall of her beauty, excellence, and capabilities should have been his! 

Land Whitney traveled in separate cars, he ahead and she following behind

Tiana urgently contacted her, Did I do well, Whitney?” 

Perfectly.Whitney had instructed Tiana to drug Monica and take her to the basement

The driver had bought some dog meat to stage the scene

Yvonne’s plans were derailed, and everyone witnessed her supposed madness, making her institutionalization a foregone conclusion

These two are always jumping around, but too bad for Monicajust as she stepped into high society, you kicked her out again. And that resort contract won’t do her any good now, haha,” Tiana said cheerfully. By the way, did Mr. Lippert show up?” 

No,Whitney replied, distracted by her fake husband and missing her nemesis’s handsome face

Once at the villa, Whitney alighted from the car. L, already there, stood elegantly, smoking a cigarettea mature man with a dangerously attractive demeanor

He nodded for her to wait as he finished his smoke

After the smoke cleared, he approached her with the grace of a gentleman

Whitney’s dogs bounded from the car. She knelt to greet them, her face softening. They’re getting old,she said. “My mother gave them to me. They’ve been with me through everything. I should’ve picked them up days ago. Thank you for your driver, Sir.” 

Try again?L raised an eyebrow

Whitney laughed, standing up in the evening breeze like an ethereal flower

He glanced at her lips, and his fingers loosened his Windsorknotted tie

Thank you, L. Without you, I wouldn’t have my dogs!She said, stepping closer to him playfully

Hmph.” 

Whitney pointed to the imposing Bugatti behind her. But you really shouldn’t use that license plate. The cops might not like it, Sir.” 

L’s mouth twitched in response

His assistant grimaced, feeling sorry for the plate for being mistaken as a fake

Then, they headed towards the villa

Whitney noticed the man’s formal attire, suggesting he had been at an important event. Did you come back from a trip, or did you return just for this?She asked quietly

His pause and deep gaze were answer enough

Whitney blushed, her thoughts turning to his concern for her pregnancy

As they neared the door, L frowned. They can’t come in!He said, referring to the dogs

Whitney glanced back at the stray dogs with a pang of sympathy, They’re just like me, without a home. Can’t you take them in, Sir?”
