Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1214

Love was a simple and pure concept; it either existed or it didn't.

"Otto" seemed to realize that his pretense had faltered. He quickly directed his gaze toward Chandler, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.

"We're all intelligent individuals, so I'll be straightforward," he began. "Mr. Newton, I understand your concerns and Ms. Spencer's reservations.

"I want to assure you that I have no intention of infringing on Ms. Spencer's space or opposing either of you. Given the present circumstances, I don't see any need for you to rush into distancing yourselves from me."

As "Otto" spoke, Helen remained perfectly still, resembling a poised leopard. Her focus was unwavering, as though she were ready to spring into action at any moment.

Chandler paused for a moment before setting his wine glass down. He then relaxed back into his chair, crossing his legs.

With a smirk, he remarked, "Mr. Sheridan, I want you to understand something. My wife is extraordinary, and many men, like yourself, might position themselves as silent guardians by her side—even I count myself among them.

"But whether one can truly play the role of a knight is entirely up to her. Anything beyond that is simply harassment."

"I have no intention of harassing either of you," "Otto" shot back.

"But you've already overstepped," Chandler countered. "I know a bit about you, Mr. Sheridan, and frankly, some of your methods are unacceptable to us. As the saying goes, 'Different paths cannot converge.' Sometimes, it's best to make a clean break."

"So, Mr. Newton, are you suggesting that you want to sever all connections with Destiny Corporation?" "Otto" asked, turning his gaze back to Helen. "Ms. Spencer, is that your stance as well?"

Chandler remained silent, his gaze steady as he awaited Helen's response.

Naturally, he hoped she would decide to maintain her connection with Destiny Corporation; he believed that ending it would only exacerbate her current problems.

Ignoring the conversation between Chandler and the imposter, Helen abruptly gripped the edge of the table and stood up. Without warning, she circled the table and approached the supposed Otto.

As she moved closer, she recalled aloud, "Otto, do you remember? In Longidale, you were stabbed in an alley while protecting me and nearly lost your life."

Upon hearing this, "Otto" glanced around in panic. He shot a desperate look at Chandler when Helen wasn't paying attention.

Chandler subtly shook his head. His injuries hadn't been the result of a simple alleyway encounter but from a solo infiltration with an underground organization.

Nonetheless, he couldn't explain this to Graham. Since only Laura had witnessed the events in Longidale, Graham was kept in the dark about the full story.

After a brief pause, "Otto" replied, "I'm sorry, but with all the recent developments at Destiny Corporation, I'm afraid I don't recall the specifics from that time."
