Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 892

"Daddy?" Sammy blinked, then quickly focused on the man. "You mean to say these snippets of photos put together are... are..."

"I think the smile is a dead giveaway. Now let me check the arch of the eyebrows, make a comparison."

Sammy quickly whipped out his phone, scrolled to a candid shot of Mommy's face in full view, and Ludwik placed the photo next to the phone, scrutinizing the similarities... Then, his heart sank more than just a bit.

Florence was cunning, distributing the photo in pieces to the doctor.

But piecing these parts together, the person she subtly tried to mimic... could it be Whitney?

Why would she want to resemble Whitney's face?

They shared half their genes, naturally bearing some resemblance.

So why the sudden pursuit of Whitney's brow arches, eye corners, and smile?

What's the connection to her sudden departure from the country?

First, the cosmetic tweaks, then the sudden disappearance, Florence... what was she really up to!

It was probably not just about hiding the child within her, escaping Ludwik's wrath. That seemed too simple.

Ludwik's breath hitched, a surge of anger burning his throat, spitting out a few words: "Bryce?

Could it be Bryce had her undergo the procedure, then whisked her away abroad? Bryce is bankrupt yet refuses to divulge her whereabouts, which clearly shows he had Florence do something crucial for him.

Something so important, it required her to... look like Whitney."

In Ludwik's mind, it was as if a bomb was slowly detonating,

He lifted Sammy and left the hospital. "Felix, seal the doctor's lips."

Outside, Ludwik pondered over it and had his bodyguard call Ashton, "Ashton, you still down by the docks?

Got held up at Parker's end. How's your search going, any lead on Florence's escape route by sea?

She had cosmetic work done before Bryce sent her abroad, she must be carrying some secret!

Perhaps it concerns Whitney...

This is far more complex and urgent than I imagined."

Otherwise, there was no need for her to alter her appearance to that of Whitney's.

Ashton's end was chaotic, but he brought some good news through the phone: "If you're saying Florence had surgery to escape, I've got a lead on a woman with sunglasses and a scarf!

Not too clear.

But Ludwik, I spoke to a sailor, he was in charge of the stowaways in the lower deck cabin number two.

I'm interrogating him, wait for my update!"

"Daddy, Uncle Ashton's got a lead?" Sammy was overjoyed.

Ludwik's brows relaxed, nodding at his son.

Sitting in the car, the deep night seemed as tranquil as still water, yet stirred waves in Ludwik's heart.

What exactly were Bryce and Florence up to?

He felt, behind this, lay a greater peril, far beyond Bryce's intention to torment his unborn child.

Bryce's bankruptcy yet his lack of desperation was undoubtedly linked to Florence's departure.

Rubbing his temples, his eyelids shadowed heavily, he turned to Felix: "Check Bryce's financial transactions these past few days, regardless of where he sent Florence abroad, he couldn't have done it without greasing some palms."

Felix was taken aback, thinking Mr. Lippert's reaction was swift.

No wonder, who could outsmart him?
