Semua Bab Love's Masquerade: Bab 221 - Bab 230

In the meantime, after being brought to the police station, Nick continued to raise his voice, demanding to see the chief.Upon learning that Nick was a member of the Lynch family, the chief hastily arrived at the scene. He listened to Nick's account and made an effort to calm him down before instructing his subordinates to initiate an investigation into Cedric.Coincidentally, Manager Josling, who had resolved matters at the bar, rushed to the police station. He overheard the chief's intention to apprehend Cedric and promptly intervened. "Chief Waymark, I strongly recommend that you refrain from getting involved in this."Chief Waymark glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean?"Manager Josling leaned in and whispered a few words into Chief Waymark's ear. The expression on Chief Waymark's face immediately changed. "Are you sure?"Manager Josling nodded. "Of course, I wouldn't joke about such matters. Just remember not to casually share what I've told you, or we'll both face dir

Faye didn't drink, so she drove while Cedric sat in the passenger seat, resting his chin on his hand as he stared at her.Faye felt shy and sneaked a glance at him. "Am I really that good-looking?"Cedric's lips curled into a seductive smile. "Yes, you are."At a loss for her words, Faye changed the subject, as they might not make it home safely if Cedric continued to seduce her. "How much do you know about the Lynch family?"Cedric raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to know?"Though Faye had been with Anthon in the past, her knowledge of the Lynch family was limited to Anthon's immediate family. The Lynch family was a prominent political figure, but she didn't know much about the specifics. However, she needed to gather some information about what happened earlier. "I don't know much apart from their history in politics," she said. "I heard that their family is highly influential in Eagle City, but I'm not sure about the extent of their influence here in Jeorgia."Cedric c

Lincoln returned to his office and called for the managers for the PR and design departments. Once everything was arranged, it was time for lunch. He didn't have an appetite, so he returned to his room to rest instead of going to the canteen. However, memories of what happened the night before kept him awake. Last night, he could clearly tell that he was drugged. After knocking out the man who dragged Lucy, he placed the man in the room he reserved for himself. Since he was drugged, whoever did it must have a plan and would surely send a woman to his room. He got the manager to set up a camera in the room before returning to Lucy's room. Once he made sure that Lucy was fine, he planned to leave so that she could rest. To his bewilderment, Lucy had been drugged as well. Just as he was about to leave, she started tearing at her clothes on the bed, panting. Lincoln was slowly losing control. He was supposed to leave but couldn't get himself to move when he saw Lucy on

Frank sneered at her words. "What do you mean? Don't you know what you've done? You saw that I was sleeping with another woman, so you were upset! "Did you think I wouldn't find out that you found yourself a man to get back at me? You said before that you would return the favor if I cheated. "I never expected you to be so impatient to proceed with your plan!"Frank's words caused Lucy's heart to ache. She had indeed said those words before but only meant it as a warning. She had considered doing it, but when she was about to do it, she couldn't bring herself to stoop so low. She knew that she hadn't done anything wrong. She didn't love Frank and merely cared for him as a childhood friend, so she shouldn't punish herself for his mistakes. The rage she felt from the night before was because of being betrayed, so she didn't plan on doing anything to retaliate. Still, she didn't expect Frank to think she could do something like that. "Where's the evidence? Without it, your a

The evening sun painted the sky red. The sky was adorned with colorful clouds as the sun dawned. Since it was summer, the small park seemed to be enveloped in waves of heat, with occasional breezes carrying the irritating hot air.Facing the setting sun, Faye watched as people surrounded her mother and was about to step forward. Just then, Flora sneered. "Are you done? If you're done, step aside."The elderly woman who had been silent until now was Clint's mother, and she pounded her walking stick and pointed at Flora angrily. "What? You snatched Brown Corporation away, and now you think you can look down on us?" Have you forgotten how you begged my son to marry you in the first place? Now that you got what you want, you want to leave?""That's right, you shameless bitch! You stepped on my brother and the Brown family to climb to the top. Now that your daughter married into money, you want to get rid of my brother!"Are you sure your son-in-law is not a traitor, too? Now that
