Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1032

Fiona's heart raced uncontrollably.

She had always been aware that her late mother was the greatest taboo in Johnny's heart. Though Johnny frequently showered her with affection, he was quite different when it came to serious matters.

The mere thought of Johnny losing his temper made Fiona's palms sweat. She instinctively hunched her shoulders and lowered her head.

Meanwhile, Helen adopted a surprised expression when she saw Faye. "Faye? I didn't expect to see you here! Aren't you close with Ms. Cunningham? I'm sure you're aware of the Cunningham family's strict taboos.

"Considering how busy you are with managing the company and handling inspections, it's understandable that a mistake like this might have slipped through the cracks. Is that what happened here?"

Despite her frustration, Faye remained silent, unable to defend herself.

The day's mishap was undeniably her fault. However, had Helen not provoked the police officer to pursue her so relentlessly, she might have been more cautious.

Johnny was so furious about Faye's attire that he needed several deep breaths to steady himself. Yolanda took considerable time to help him regain his composure.

"Faye! I never imagined you'd be the one trying to sabotage me!"

Faye was a friend of Fiona's whom Johnny had met before. He was aware that she ran the Boston family's business and had even suggested that Fiona learn from her expertise.

Whenever the Cunningham family's jewelry store introduced a new collection, Johnny would always ask Fiona to bring Faye in to select whatever she wanted. Now, however, it seemed his kindness had been repaid with betrayal.

Faye lowered her head, consumed by shame.

While waiting outside earlier, she had figured out what had transpired.

It was evident that Fiona had intended the dress for Helen. What confused Faye, however, was how Helen had managed to get it into her possession.

After returning from the detention center, Faye was utterly exhausted and disheveled. Her fatigue likely led to her unintentionally wearing the dress.

Nonetheless, it was too late to explain. Faye could only hope that Johnny would soften his stance once he had vented his anger.

Faye understood that publicly accusing Fiona was not a viable option. To retain her position with the Boston family, she had to preserve the Cunningham family's support and couldn't afford to jeopardize those crucial connections.

Johnny looked completely exhausted, his head drooping as if he might collapse from fatigue at any moment.

Sensing it was time to leave, Otto and Helen exchanged a few polite words before excusing themselves.

Otto, a prominent figure in high society, and Helen, who had just made a significant impression, drew everyone's attention.

As they walked through the corridor and grand ballroom, they swiftly became the focus of widespread gossip.

Despite the attention, Otto and Helen remained indifferent. They both wore the same enigmatic smiles, their eyes glinting with a hint of mischief.

"What's making you smile?" Otto asked, breaking the silence.

"And what about you?" Helen countered, her pace steady and assured.

"You're not even looking at me. How can you tell I'm smiling?" Otto teased.
