Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1026

At that moment, Faye felt as though her heart had stopped.

Meanwhile, criticisms from the guests began to pour in.

"Who in their right mind would wear red to Cunningham Residence? That takes a lot of nerve!"

"Who is this woman? Isn't this a blatant insult to the Cunningham family? What could she possibly have against them?"

"After Mrs. Cunningham's death, the tabloids were filled with pictures of her in a red dress. Mr. Cunningham disappeared from the public eye for six months!"

"To dredge up someone's misfortune and ruin the mood like this is incredibly disrespectful!"

Soon, those who regularly socialized with Faye for shopping and afternoon tea recognized her.

"Oh my god! Is that Faye Boston? What on earth is she thinking? Why would she show up dressed like that?"

"She's always by Fiona's side when they go out. Could this red outfit be her way of giving Mr. Cunningham a dramatic farewell?"

"I'm stunned. I used to think Faye was a decent person, but I never imagined she could be so inconsiderate. I'll definitely be cautious about inviting her to any of my future gatherings…"

Faye gripped her gown tightly, her exposed shoulders and neckline tense with anxiety. She never expected her grand entrance to turn into a walk of shame.

Her feet felt as though they were weighed down by lead, and she was torn between staying and leaving.

Meanwhile, Johnny's gaze remained locked on Faye. The red in his vision appeared to stretch infinitely, wrapping around him like a suffocating shroud.

Memories of the car accident, the scandalous reports of his wife's affair, and the relentless taunts about his cowardice overwhelmed him.

Johnny's face flushed with rage, veins bulging in his eyes. Struggling to breathe, he clutched his chest and collapsed face-first onto the floor with a muffled thud.

Without a moment's hesitation, Fiona rushed to Johnny's side.

However, as a woman, she couldn't lift him on her own. It took the assistance of several nearby guests to help him up.

The scene erupted into chaos as guests swarmed around. Some attempted to provide first aid, while others called for an ambulance. The entire situation quickly spiraled into confusion.

"But he's not breathing! What good will a hospital do now?"

The situation quickly spiraled into chaos. Amidst the confusion, someone stepped forward and pulled Faye aside.

"She's the one responsible! Grab her!"

"This woman caused Mr. Cunningham's death!"

Fiona's mind went blank. All thoughts of her schemes or Helen were wiped away—nothing else mattered at that moment.

She had planned to use her deceased mother to publicly discredit Helen and damage her reputation. However, she never anticipated that it would lead to the death of her beloved father.

This was far from what Fiona had wanted.

The Cunningham family had ascended to wealth and prominence only a little over a decade ago and was still on shaky ground.

Since his wife's death, Johnny had not pursued any other relationships, making Fiona the sole heir. If Johnny were to die, how could she possibly keep the family business afloat?
