Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 731

Bryce's gaze was more crimson than ever as he yanked Florence toward him with a menacing quickness.

Florence had no choice but to endure his rough handling, a cold sneer playing at her lips. “Bright and early, Mr. Lutz is in such a festive mood. Could it be that your sister didn’t satisfy you?”

“Don’t talk about that... woman.” Bryce scoffed coldly. “She ran off to Ludwik’s place last night, lied to me about having work, and didn’t come back all night.”

“Tsk, your sister is a wolf that can’t be tamed, despite all the years you’ve fancied her. And now, she dares to betray you. But, you said Ludwik was finished, didn’t you? I wonder what she sees in him now, Ludwik’s nothing compared to what you can offer. She really doesn’t know how good she has it.”

Florence’s words struck a chord, hitting Bryce right where it hurt.

He snorted, his features twisted with hatred. “It’s her own fault for being deceitful. I’ll make her wish she was never born.”

Florence’s face lit up with a wicked smile, pleased by the turn of events.

“Just make sure you keep your word, Mr. Lutz. No going soft on her in the end.”

“That’s exactly what you’re hoping for, isn’t it?” Bryce narrowed his eyes. “By the way, Hudson’s awake. When will you give me that medication?”

“Find a time to meet with my dad, slip it into his food, and he’ll be under your thumb.”

Bryce smirked, patting her head. “Be good to me, and once I take over The Sheldon Group, you’ll be well rewarded.”

“You’re terrible…”

Their conversation quickly led to them becoming entangled.

Sammy managed to sneak away to see Natalie.

Sitting upright in her villa, the young boy awaited his grandmother. “Grandma, did you need me?”

Natalie brought him a bunch of snacks, lovingly opening a carton of milk for him. However, her expression was tinged with worry. “Sammy, grandma has run into a bit of trouble and might need your help.”

“What kind of trouble?” Sammy asked, though his eyes betrayed his sharp intuition. “Is it about that new family in Brew Hill, the Inko Group, planning a big party? The Lippert family wants in on their business but can’t get an invite. You’re worried because dad can’t go, and now Jason’s been contacting you, wondering whether to keep hiding or to come forward as the buyer?”

Natalie was taken aback by his insight.

She admitted, feeling embarrassed, “Yes, Phineas gave every household in Brew Hill an invitation, including me. But I don’t know how to approach Ludwik with this. He doesn’t know I’ve spent all his two hundred billion emergency fund! And your grandfather has been calling the fake number I gave him. I’m worried if I don’t show up at Everwood Villa Estate, Ludwik might miss out on a huge opportunity.”

“If you’re this conflicted, it means you’ve already made up your mind. Grandma, what’s there to be nervous about?”

Sammy chuckled confidently. “You’re the impressive buyer. March right up to grandpa with that invitation and dazzle him.”

Natalie sighed, “Don’t talk about your grandfather like that. He’s not looking down on me.”

“Really? Then why wouldn’t he thank you after you cared for him during his stroke, if not for his pride, afraid you’d cling to him?”

Natalie felt disheartened. “Sammy, don’t think that way. Your grandfather isn’t arrogant; maybe he’s just embarrassed. After all, it’s awkward considering my position.”

Sammy seemed to understand more than he let on.

“If you’re too scared to show up at The Lippert Resort, I’ll go with you. If dad dares to give you trouble, I’ll blast him.”
