Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 669

"Ludwik, shut it! You guys, hit him! A bunch of you can't take down one guy on a high? Damn it."

The tall guy, seeing the job wasn't done, hurriedly grabbed a shiv and aimed another stab at Ludwik's belly.

Just then, footsteps echoed down the corridor. The cops must've heard the commotion and came over, "What's going on here? Who was making all that noise just now?"

When the flashlight beam hit the cell, revealing everything, the cop couldn't help but roar, "Who allowed you to have a private brawl in here?

Everyone stop, you're incarcerated and still can't behave? Hey... the one bleeding, you alright?"

-

In a luxurious mansion in the Emperor City's affluent district.

Bryce received a call, a lazy smile playing on his lips, "It's done?"

"Rest assured, it's done. The guy in the cell said Ludwik got stabbed in the belly, bled a lot. Probably done for good."

"Probably?" Bryce dropped his glass in dissatisfaction. "I wanted certainty!"

Ludwik had been sneaking around with Whitney just to humiliate him, and he harbored a deep-seated grudge.

He wanted to render Ludwik completely impotent, utterly ruin him.

At his wedding, Ludwik sent that kind of video, wasn't it to show off his prowess?

Let's see how he manages now. A total loser, how's he supposed to get close to Whitney?

"This... Mr. Lutz, it's hard to confirm, but it's nearly certain, he's done for." The voice on the phone said timidly, "He was about to go in for another stab, to make sure, but the cops seemed to bring someone to visit Ludwik, just caught them in the act."

"Incompetent, what now?" Bryce's face twisted in anger.

"Mr. Lutz, the guy hit him hard, should've been fatal." The voice dared to add.

"Just handle it, silence that man, make it clean."

A dark shadow passed over Bryce's face, his normally gentle features turning ferocious. Ludwik, let's see how you brag now.

-

The Nelson Group.

Ashton, wanting to get someone out of the police station, had to seek out Shane again.

This time, Shane clearly shook his head, his expression serious, "Nolan, I agreed to bail Ludwik out last time because I felt a bit guilty.

I had sensed Jarvis trying to rope in Justin, planning something against Ludwik.

But as you know, in Emperor City’s top three families, the Nelsons rank second. As a businessman, I must remain neutral.

Helping was a favor, not helping is my right.

If I help you out this time, wouldn't that be openly opposing the Patrick family?

...Maybe you should try the Sheldons, Whitney Sheldon's running the show there now."

Ashton gave a bitter smile, "You know what Ludwik did to Whitney, how could she help? She's not a masochist."

Shane raised an eyebrow, his question tinged with deeper meaning, "What about Florence? Does she still have feelings for Ludwik?"

"She's called a few times, seemed genuinely concerned about Ludwik, but Florence is a hypocrite, just watching from a safe distance.
