Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 894

Felix held onto Ludwik's phone, an apologetic tone in his voice, “I’m sorry, Ms. Valentine, Mr. Lippert... Mr. Lippert headed out on a trip to Eurovoria early this morning.

It was quite sudden, he didn’t get a chance to inform you personally.

So... he might not be at home for a while.”

“What?” Whitney was completely baffled.

“To Eurovoria? When did he say he was leaving on a business trip?” That's so far, and he just left suddenly this morning!

Whitney couldn’t believe it, her brows knitting together as she abruptly stood up: “I haven’t heard anything about the Lippert Group having dealings with Eurovoria recently. What’s Ludwik doing there?”

Her tone was a mix of confusion and sharpness.

Doing what?

That was beyond what Felix could answer.

Whitney’s call had come much earlier than Mr. Lippert had anticipated.

Felix was still organizing things, his tone somewhat hesitant, “Just... some important matters.”

“What matters?” Whitney pressed.

“...” Felix was at a loss for words, facing Ms. Valentine wasn't like dealing with just anyone.

And Mr. Lippert had indeed left abruptly, and the matter with Florence was something they had to keep strictly confidential from Ms. Valentine.

“Actually, Mr. Lippert didn’t give me the details, but it must be something significant related to the Lippert Group! Mr. Lippert probably didn’t want to worry you, he tends to take everything on his shoulders when it comes to work…”

“Cut the crap, no beating around the bush!” Whitney sharply cut him off.

Felix’s forced smile froze.

“He left his personal phone with you?” Whitney stared at Ludwik's number on the screen, “What does that mean?!”

Felix felt as if his throat was blocked by a rock, “Mr. Lippert left his private phone with me so you could reach me anytime, in case you needed anything. For the next while, Mr. Doonan and I will take care of you and the kids.”

Whitney’s heart skipped a beat, feeling even more that something was off.

How long is he planning to be away? Was this some kind of entrustment?

Her emotions were instinctively stirred by this man, leading to her feeling anxious and uneasy.

Felix, that slippery eel, was a strict subordinate handpicked by Ludwik. Anything Ludwik didn’t permit him to disclose, he’d take to his grave!

Whitney didn’t want to waste any more time with him.

Her brows twisted in unease, Ludwik had disappeared without saying anything. Maybe he had said something to the kids?

She needed to head home immediately to sort this out.

After hanging up, Whitney returned to the hospital room, where Tiana was packing up.

Whitney, clutching her phone, frowned deeply, “Tiana, I’ll have the nurse take you back to Delight Mansion. I need to check on something at the Lippert residence.”

“Whitney, what happened?”

“It’s about Ludwik.”

“Then you handle it, I’ll go back to Delight Mansion and see Cherry.”

“Take it easy, don’t rush back to Sheldon Group.”

“I know. Try to stay calm… Actually, about Ludwik, you seem really worried. It’s a natural reaction, maybe you haven’t realized how much you care about that man.”

“…” Whitney couldn’t find the words to reply.
