Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 629

"I'm here for a drink." Jarvis turned, swiftly dealing with a couple of bouncers.

"Ha!" Wesley sneered, "Look who it is, the Lippert family's rejected lapdog, Jarvis!

Weren't you punished by Ludwik, banished to some backwater province?

The whole of Emperor City knows about it.

You two really are a match made in heaven, a pair of rejects from the Lippert family!"

Jarvis's face darkened, his fists clenched, ready to charge.

Justin, fearing the worst and knowing Jarvis was in a foul mood, quickly grabbed him, "Jarvis, man, they've got numbers on us. Let's just bail!"

"Damn!" Jarvis reluctantly let himself be dragged away.

They awkwardly left the club, Jarvis handed Justin off to the waiting chauffeur, squinting as he said, "Left my wallet in there. Gotta go back."

Justin looked at him, usually, there was no love lost between Riley and Jarvis, their interactions minimal.

But in this moment, Justin was genuinely grateful.

"Jarvis, I'll wait for you!"

"Don't bother waiting if you're gonna go back looking like that," Jarvis scoffed, heading back into the club.

In the luxurious hallway of the VIP lounge, Wesley waited, grinning wickedly at Jarvis's return, "Ashton, how did I do?"

"Knocked him dead," Jarvis tossed him a black card.

Wesley laughed hard, "Next time you wanna humiliate Justin, count me in!"

Jarvis smirked meaningfully, "Fools like him fall for it every time."

He turned to leave.

Wesley, holding the card, chuckled as he turned and bumped into Shane Nelson.

Shane's piercing gaze fixed on him.

"Wesley... what are you doing here?"

"Helping Jarvis?" Shane inquired.

Wesley stuttered, "You know, my mom cut off my allowance recently. I needed the cash."

"No next time. Don't let Jarvis use you!" Shane snatched the black card, "Go home."

Wesley, breaking into a cold sweat, couldn't understand how he had become a pawn.

Not daring to upset Shane, he quickly scrammed.

Shane's eyes narrowed as he watched Jarvis's retreating figure, his gaze growing colder.

He sensed trouble brewing for Ludwik!

But as the CEO of the Nelson Group, he wouldn't be foolish enough to get involved in the Lippert family's internal disputes.

When Jarvis tried to recruit him, he chose to meet with Ludwik, giving him face.

Now, with Jarvis pulling this stunt and dragging Justin away, what was his angle?

A grand scheme, no doubt!

Shane loosened his tie, a playful smirk on his lips. Ludwik, it's your fate on the line now.

In such matters, he would remain neutral, uninvolved.

He turned and left.

-

At Jarvis's mansion.

Justin, bruised all over, was dumped in the living room floor by the chauffeur.
