Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1248

"Shut up!" Judy scolded, "You have no right to speak here."

She was a reasonable person. Chandler's doctor had brought her daughter back to life, and he may even be able to cure her daughter's stomach cancer completely.

It was a great kindness to them. Food poisoning was just a misunderstanding, so there was no reason to hold Chandler responsible.

"Mr. Newton, Mrs. Newton." Judy said softly, "I really appreciate your help this time. Don't worry. We'll call the reporters and clarify the matter once Mona feels better. Running a business isn't easy nowadays. We shouldn't cause you any trouble."

Helen's impression of Judy changed significantly. Seeing Judy hit and scold Chandler during their first encounter, Helen thought that Judy was a shrew.

Now, Helen knew it was because Judy loved her daughter so much.

"Thank you," Chandler said.

"Don't thank us in a hurry." Mona forced herself to sit up and leaned against the headboard. Her weak face was filled with stubbornness.

"I can clarify the matter, but you have to compensate for my physical and mental damages. It's not much—just ten million dollars. You can afford it."

"Ten million dollars?" Judy exclaimed in her mother tongue, astonished. She then regained her composure and slapped hard on Mona's arm. "You brat, what nonsense are you talking about?

Both of them lived interdependently. Although they weren't rich, they lived a carefree and dignified life. They never owed others money, not even 100 dollars. How could she demand such a large sum of money?

"I'm not talking nonsense." Determined, Mona insisted stubbornly, "Without ten million dollars, you'll have to clarify the matter by yourself."

"Mona!" Judy got up angrily. "Do you even hear yourself? Didn't I teach you from a young age not to take even a cent that isn't yours?

"You've just recovered from a serious illness, and you should be grateful. But look at what you're doing; you really disappoint me."

A fleeting look of sadness appeared in Mona's eyes, but it soon disappeared. However, Helen still managed to catch a glimpse of it.

For an ordinary family, ten million dollars was an income they could never attain in a lifetime. Who would pass up the chance to get wealthy overnight?

"Ten million dollars is indeed not much, but we shouldn't allow others to threaten us at will. One day is enough to investigate the background of Mona and her cousin," Helen explained.

Chandler nodded in agreement. "Lester and Mona don't really seem like relatives."

Helen planned to investigate it herself, but her phone rang before she could inform Chandler about it. It was Madelyn calling.

Helen took a look at the caller ID and answered the call, "What's the matter, Madelyn?"

"Helen, did you not read the class group chat? Where are you?" Madelyn sounded anxious.

"I haven't read it. What's the matter?" Helen had muted the notifications of the class group chat.
