Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1207

Johnny's remarks were a blatant insult to Helios' parents. Even now, he showed a total lack of respect and fear toward Helios.

"Dad, don't waste your time on him! It's just ten million bucks—it's like me buying a few new outfits. Let's just call it a handout. This place is so dirty and dusty; let's go home!" Fiona urged.

"Alright, alright…"

With Fiona's impatience wearing him thin, Johnny shot Helios one final, disdainful glance before leading her downstairs.

Helios was incensed by the "handout" remark. Clenching his fists, he turned to the window, his eyes landing on the gasoline canister in the corner. It had been meant to intimidate Johnny but had never been used.

At that moment, the canister seemed to have a magnetic pull, irresistibly drawing Helios toward it.

As Fiona and Johnny reached the bottom of the stairs, Helios charged after them.

"Fiona!" he yelled, flinging open the canister and splashing its contents in her direction.

"Nana, look out!" Johnny called out, stepping in front of Fiona. The gasoline splashed over him, soaking him through.

Mistaking the gasoline for some filthy substance, Johnny exploded in rage, "You ungrateful piece of shit! I spared your life, and you still dare to provoke me? Just wait—I'll find someone to deal with you!"

Instead of panicking, Helios began to laugh maniacally. He brandished a lighter and flicked it open, a fierce flame igniting.

Johnny realized the danger too late. As he attempted to flee, Helios threw the lighter into the pool of gasoline at Johnny's feet. Flames erupted instantly, consuming him entirely.

"Ah! Ah! Daddy! Help! Help!" Fiona screamed in terror.

"Help me! Help! I'm burning—"

"Reports indicate that the suspect is Mr. Zacher, the husband of the heiress of Cunningham Group. Mr. Zacher had kidnapped his wife in an attempt to extort a substantial ransom.

"During the confrontation, a heated argument led Mr. Zacher to attempt to set his wife on fire with gasoline. In a tragic act of heroism, Johnny Cunningham lost his life trying to protect her. The details of the case are still under investigation…"

The article was accompanied by harrowing photos from the scene. The charred remains on the ground revealed the outline of a human figure, underscoring the grim reality of the incident.

Helen was struck by a wave of empathy.

Given Johnny's track record of unscrupulous behavior, she had never imagined he would sacrifice his life for Fiona.

It was a reminder that even the most reprehensible individuals could experience profound moments of tragedy.
