Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1025

Yolanda was taken aback to see Faye arrive at the party in a red dress. The bold splash of red was so striking that she had momentarily overlooked its significance.

Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to provoke Johnny?

Just then, Yolanda remembered why Fiona had asked her to come out.

Given that Fiona was Johnny's daughter, she surely wouldn't intend to cause him any distress. Perhaps there was another surprise in store. Yolanda decided it was best not to worry about it.

After taking a moment to regain her composure, she moved forward with Fiona's instructions.

"Mind your manners!" Yolanda chided the staff members before turning to Faye with a forced smile. "I'm sorry for the commotion. Ms. Cunningham sent me personally to welcome you.

"These staff members are inexperienced, so please don't let their remarks upset you. This way, please—Ms. Cunningham and the others have been waiting for you for quite some time!"

Yolanda's attempts to smooth things over eased Faye's anger, prompting her to let the matter drop.

Looking prideful, Faye raised her chin and her gown, striding purposefully past the staff and into the estate.

They gazed in astonishment as the vivid splash of red swept through the manor. Before long, whispers of gossip began to ripple through the staff.

"Ms. Estano usually has such a keen eye. How could she have missed this? I can't believe she actually let that woman in the red dress through—this could turn into a real disaster!"

"Absolutely. We're probably in for a reprimand."

However, as Johnny's expression darkened, the guests quickly sensed that something was amiss. Following his gaze, they spotted a striking figure in red standing at the entrance.

Faye remained motionless, bewildered by the sudden shift in the atmosphere. She had no idea why Johnny was glaring at her with such hostility the moment she arrived.

The guests were equally stunned, their faces showing a mix of surprise and confusion.

Faye started to feel that something was wrong. After a moment, she remembered Fiona mentioning that Johnny had a strong dislike for the color red.

This aversion was tied to a painful memory—Johnny's wife had died in a car accident while wearing a red dress he had given her. To make matters worse, she had been on her way to meet another man.

In the past few days, Faye had been preoccupied with dealing with the police. Since the dress was a gift from Fiona, she hadn't suspected anything amiss.
