Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 794

Whitney swiftly removed her headset, whispering in a hushed tone, “Sammy, don’t let this get out and don’t get involved anymore. Stick to kid stuff, Mommy will look after herself. Even if it’s risky, Mommy has to stay.”

She grew increasingly suspicious of Tiana’s disappearance, strongly suspecting Bryce was behind it.

But what exactly happened?

To find Tiana, she knew she had to go through with it.

“Ryder, I need you to find me some tiny cameras, if Bryce can plant them around his mansion, so can I,” Whitney instructed with furrowed brows.

Ryder blinked, nodding, “Alright, Ms. Valentine, I’ll be off then. Take care of yourself.”

Just as Whitney returned to the living room, Bryce emerged, his genteel eyes scanning behind her, “Is your assistant already leaving? Haha, it’s the first time we have a guest at home, I wanted to invite him for dinner.”

Whitney looked at him, forcing a smile, “He’s just an assistant, he’d feel awkward staying for dinner. Besides, I’ve hardly ever had the pleasure of Mr. Lutz’s cooking, how could I possibly share that with someone else?”

Bryce was surprised by her teasing smile.

His eyes gleaming, he asked, “Whitney, you’re not mad at me anymore, are you?”

His hands reached out, wanting to grasp her smaller ones.

Looking at his gentle face, smiling with his eyes, Whitney shivered inside.

Thinking back, since she met Bryce, this spring-breeze demeanor of his never changed. He always appeared to be silently waiting for her, loyally devoted to love, not counting any loss.

Yet, it was this 'good man' who secretly filled their home with cameras to watch her.

The thought itself was chilling.

Had Bryce changed over the past three years, or was the Bryce from three years ago always this adept at hiding, and she just never noticed?

If Audrey was indeed killed by him, a woman who had been involved with him, disposed of as easily as saying it.

How terrifying could such a man be? Did he know what love is?

He professed his deep love for her, claiming he couldn’t lose her.

But if, as Ludwik said, Bryce’s current patience was only to win her back and then seek revenge…

The thought made Whitney’s blood run cold. What fate would befall her then?

Seeing her silent, Bryce narrowed his eyes, studying her, “Whitney, are you still angry with me?

Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll treat you like a princess.

I’ll come back from work early and cook dinner for you myself.

I’ll treat your family like my own, caring for your dad and uncle, and looking after your assistant, okay?”

“Hmm…”

Listening to his ‘touching words’, Whitney felt nothing but repulsion and disgust.

But she had to endure, she had to act, to see who could outplay whom.

She smiled softly, changing the subject, “Is dinner ready then? Do you need a hand?”

“How could I let my wife lift a finger? Just sit here and wait, it’ll be ready soon.”

Bryce walked affectionately into the kitchen.

He closed the glass door, then immediately dialed a trusted contact, “Check out the Sheldon Group for an assistant named Ryder.”

Whitney had never brought work home before, let alone bring an assistant into their home…

Just seconds later, his contact replied, “Mr. Lutz, the Sheldon Group indeed has an employee named Ryder.”

Bryce ended the call, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully.
