Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 1028

"But when Phineas suddenly got into trouble, and my kid's life was in danger, I had no choice but to come back.

At this critical moment, she forces my hand to return, what's her endgame?

Is she trying to keep me from meeting this mysterious person?!

That just makes me more curious. Why can't I meet him?

After meeting, will I recognize him, or uncover some secret?

So now, my goal is to lure the mysterious man to Harmonia Country, meet him first, then take down Bryce and his crew in one fell swoop!"

He shared so much that Parker missed the part about Ludwik mentioning 'my child'.

He knew even less than Ashton, so he was pretty much in the dark.

All he understood was that Bryce and his team had found some backing.

Now, to take them all down together, Ludwik planned to draw that backing to Harmonia Country, on his home turf.

Not a bad plan, to clean house in one go!

But with the uncle's situation unclear and Inko Group left leaderless, how did Ludwik plan to bait the trap?

Parker furrowed his brows, "So how do you plan to draw out this so-called backing?"

Ludwik stopped in his tracks, hand in pocket, his sharp gaze narrowing, "Parker, did you know your uncle's Inko Group is a subsidiary of the Germinia Inko Group?"

"I had an inkling. My uncle basically ran the domestic company, more as a partner than a subsidiary."

"But there's still a hierarchy with Inko Group, right?"

"Yes, I heard there's a chairman who controls everything, and my uncle answers to him."

"In Inko Group, besides your uncle, who else could access or know the list of the executives at the headquarters?" Ludwik asked pointedly.

Parker frowned, "Well, my uncle's dealings with the headquarters were pretty cautious, always one-on-one video calls. I doubt any shareholders had direct contact with the chairman or such."

"No list then? Or is it just classified, needing a certain clearance to view? Could you let me see this list of executives?"

"If it's classified, my uncle wouldn't make it public. You'd have to wait for him to wake up, or ask him directly about the execs at the headquarters."

Parker eyed him, "Ludwik, are you trying to investigate someone within the headquarters?"

"The mysterious man, he's one of the high-ranking execs there, with an assistant named Erik.

I can't find his identity, and I'm curious why Florence wouldn't let me meet him?

Plus, Florence's surgery made her look a bit like Whitney.

I'm even more puzzled about the connection here.

Since I can't find out, I'll have to lure the mysterious man back."

The conversation circled back, Parker's brows knitted, unsure of Ludwik's plan, "What are you planning to do?"

Ludwik turned, tossing his cigarette butt, his gaze deep and cold under the smoky veil, "The first step, we've already done, mentioning to Bryce the unfortunate news about your uncle.

We'll see what happens after your uncle's surgery, maybe even declare him dead, make a big fuss in the media, get everyone talking!"
