Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 1222

4 a.m.

Emma jolted awake and immediately started dialing the two media execs she’d spoken to earlier that night.

On the other end, orders were being handed down.

The old lady, wide awake and tense, sat in her bedroom, her gaze dark and brooding as she waited in silence.

She glanced at Sienna’s number on her phone—considered calling, but didn’t.

Sienna must be exhausted, she reasoned.

Still, if the girl had to eat a little dirt tonight, it’d be worth it. As long as Shane woke up tomorrow with her by his side, the Nelson family couldn’t deny it any longer.

Sienna would officially be the Nelson family’s daughter-in-law—done deal!

With the Nelsons backing her up, dealing with that stubborn Whitney would be so much easier.

The old lady still nursed a grudge over Florence’s death.

No way was she going to just sit back and watch Hudson Sheldon hand the entire Sheldon fortune to Whitney!

“Sienna, you better not let me down…”

Meanwhile.

Outside Shane’s apartment building, Whitney parked her car under a tree, a safe distance away.

Felix and the bodyguards, who’d already retreated from the front entrance, were waiting quietly in the hallway.

Whitney narrowed her sharp hazel eyes, glancing up at the twelfth floor, where the hallway lights flickered on and off.

A sly smile ghosted across her full lips.

She got out, striding toward Felix and the others.

Time for a little game of cat, mouse, and fox.

Up on the twelfth floor.
