Love beyond the mask ( Whitney )
Chapter 692

Tiana couldn't believe her eyes. Was she seeing things?

Who was this woman?

Then Bryce got into the car, shielded by his bodyguard, but a scandalous scene unfolded!

The woman leaned down and kissed Bryce on the lips, while he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, his gaze filled with affection, and he gave her cheek a pat before he left. Tiana was shocked and quickly hid herself.

She peeked out, taking a closer look at the woman... It was Audrey of all people!

The woman was holding a card in her hand, cooing at the man as the car window rolled up, "Mr. Lutz, I'll be over tonight."

Damn it!

That was obviously a hotel key card, right?

Was Bryce having an affair?

Tiana couldn't believe it, her heart was both shocked and angry, her face turning a shade of steel.

As soon as the woman turned around, Tiana didn't even think about her car or the errands she had to run,

she immediately grabbed her notebook and followed.

She saw Audrey return to the Lutz Group building, even stopping to chat warmly with the receptionist.

The receptionist gave her a knowing look, and the security guard even opened the elevator for Audrey.

Tiana got the message, this woman worked at Bryce's company?

Audrey...

Tiana remembered, at that wedding in Banyan City, this woman had mocked Whitney.

At the time, she couldn't stand her, later hearing from others that she was a socialite Claire had once introduced to Bryce.

Audrey had always wanted to marry into the Lutz family, but Bryce had never agreed.

Back then, Tiana thought Bryce was truly, madly in love with Whitney.

Ha...

It seemed things were not as they appeared.

Bryce was not as deeply in love as he seemed?

After going through so much to marry Whitney, Bryce, despite being humiliated by Ludwik, chose love over pride, a seemingly model man, a paragon of forgiveness and understanding. Yeah, as if such a man really existed.

So, he was cheating now?

Tiana squinted her eyes, such a seemingly upright man, huh.

But, she wouldn't wrong a good person.

Was he really keeping a mistress in his own company, was there something going on with Audrey?

Tiana decided to get to the bottom of this.

She found a nearby cafe to sit down, immediately opened her laptop, and began to dig into Audrey's background-

At the Lutz Group building, in the secretary's office.

Audrey stood by the window on the tenth floor, lifting a pair of binoculars, and saw Tiana looking around suspiciously down below,

Audrey smirked with satisfaction.

She called the private detective she had contacted in advance, "You did well, informing me when Tiana passed by the company. Now she's definitely on my tail."

"Of course. Faith, she's staking out at the cafe next door, probably waiting to follow you after work."

Audrey smirked, taking out the hotel key card,

It was from the hotel they used for their secret meetings after she moved out of Bryce's villa.

Actually, Bryce hadn't asked her to come over tonight, he was trying to avoid suspicion recently.

Her act in front of Tiana was deliberate.

First, to provoke the woman, and second, to let her catch some "evidence" to complain to Whitney with.

-

In the cafe, Tiana saw Audrey leave work, swaying her hips.

She glanced through the information she had hacked into on her computer.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to bypass Whitney and call Sandy instead.

Without confirmation, Tiana dared not reveal anything.

Sandy was surprised, "Tiana, what's up?"

"Oh, Sandy, it's nothing much. Haven't you been working closely with Whitney lately?

I saw Bryce with a woman who looked like a secretary today,

I was just curious, does Whitney know about this?"

Listening to Tiana, Sandy thought women were indeed sensitive about these things.

Unfortunately, Whitney didn't seem too concerned about that secretary, Sandy sometimes wondered if Whitney didn't love Bryce enough?

She snorted, "That woman, we've met a few times.

She's Mr. Lutz's secretary, even accompanied Mr. Lutz to an auction recently, all polite on the surface, but I think she's a bit of a sly fox, always looking at Mr. Lutz with too much enthusiasm.

But Mr. Lutz is cool about it, even mentioned he wouldn't let any Jaxon ride in his car again.

Anyway, I think Mr. Lutz loves Whitney."

"..." Tiana was speechless.

Another naive girl fooled by Bryce's facade.

Back in the day, she, like Whitney, was moved by Bryce's loyalty.

Ha.

Tiana glanced at the Hermes bag Audrey was carrying, a rare edition.

This woman suddenly became Bryce's chief secretary a month ago, definitely something fishy.

Tiana had investigated; within a month, Audrey swiftly bought a villa in Emperor City, frequently shopping for luxury goods.

She was from a rather ordinary family in Banyan City, just nouveau riche.

This was a clear case of a man cheating, spoiling his mistress with lavish spending.

A wave of anger surged from the depths of her heart.

Tiana took a deep breath, trying to stay calm as she followed.

Audrey didn't go home, first heading to a beauty salon for a full-body spa, then straight to a lingerie shop in the mall.

Afterward, Audrey took a taxi to a hotel, looking around sneakily for a while before entering a luxurious penthouse suite at the top floor.

Tiana watched the door, holding her breath!

Was Bryce inside? Or had he not arrived yet?

She hacked into the hotel's surveillance system with her laptop, checking the footage from twenty minutes ago.

The footage showed Bryce entering the hotel lobby!

Unfortunately, the surveillance for the floors was restricted.

This scumbag... he was in there right now, with Audrey.

There was no such thing as a faithful lover in this world, just a bunch of cheaters.

Tiana felt like her entire world had just shattered. She couldn't believe Bryce had sunk so low. He had moved into Whitney's upscale condo, and here he was, sneaking in for a secret rendezvous. How shameless could he be? She was itching to burst in and catch them in the act, but the timing was off-Whitney wasn't home.

Whitney probably had no clue about any of this.

And what if Tiana barged in and found nothing suspicious? She'd risk tipping them off for nothing.

So, Tiana held back, seething with anger and frustration.

After more than an hour, the door to the luxury suite swung open.

Tiana, crouching low, saw Audrey step out, looking all too pleased with herself, massaging her lower back and grumbling, "That man's no gentleman."

Her assistant, cheeks flushed, asked, "Faith... are you going to the clinic for an ultrasound tomorrow?"

"Of course, I am. It's my fertile window. He said if I get pregnant with his child, he'd let me keep it and ensure a cushy future... The only thing I'm missing is Mrs. Lutz's title."
