Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 817

Who knew that as soon as I stepped into Sheldon Group, Cody would bring the storm clouds with him? “Whitney, Bryce is here, and he’s brought Florence along.

They got here an hour before you. Right now, they’re in the boardroom, calling an emergency meeting with all of Sheldon Group’s shareholders!”

“On what grounds?” Whitney’s fists clenched, her face going pale as her expression darkened dramatically.

Cody was sweating bullets, bewildered, “I think I saw him holding a power of attorney from Hudson Sheldon…”

“What?”

It was as if a bomb went off in Whitney’s head, confirming her worst suspicions from the day before!

She pushed through the crowd, rushing towards the upstairs conference room.

But the Sheldon Group employees all around her were casting strange glances her way, especially at the towering figure of Ludwik standing behind her.

Though the employees didn’t dare gossip openly, there was plenty of whispering.

“Who would’ve thought the rumors were true?”

“The young executive is really entangled with her ex, now they’re even showing up at Sheldon Group together.”

“Isn’t her husband Bryce in the boardroom? He looked so heartbroken and furious when he arrived.”

“What a mess this is turning out to be.”

Cody couldn’t suppress the rising tide of murmurs.

A ripple of panic went through Whitney, News? What news?

She had a bad feeling and quickly turned to look at Ludwik.

Ludwik’s expression darkened, and he immediately pulled out his phone, only to find what he had expected: Bryce had released footage of him holding Whitney as they returned to his villa the previous night. In the video, the angle was intimate, with Whitney uncontrollably kissing his cheek several times!

Whitney saw it too, her face turning ghostly pale, “We were caught on camera?”

“Yeah, and Bryce planned it all along! He only released it now because it ties into his stunt at Sheldon Group today, the sneaky bastard.” Ludwik looked down at her, his face cold, “Regardless, you need to go handle the situation upstairs. I’ll figure out how to get the trending news pulled with some cash.”

Whitney’s calm demeanor had vanished, every step Bryce took was a trap.

She wished she could tear the man apart right then and there.

In the boardroom, most of the shareholders had received the company's urgent summons and had made their way to the office.

They were puzzled to see Bryce standing at the podium.

“Bryce, what are you doing up there?” an elderly shareholder asked.

Under the spotlight, Bryce lifted his sorrowful yet mockingly self-deprecating face, “Mr. Liam, I may not be able to call myself ‘son-in-law’ much longer. Have you seen today’s news?

You’re all Mr. Sheldon’s old guard and Whitney’s elders. She probably doesn’t want me anymore, blatantly going home with another man... Hah, my father-in-law must pity me, hence he promised me the Sheldon Estate project. So, as of today, I have no choice but to join Sheldon Group, to oversee the Sheldon Estate matters.”
