Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1286

"Does Helen know about this?" Adrian asked.

Chandler shook his head. "I wanted to gauge your reactions first."

"In the past, Helen concealed her identity from us, and now you're orchestrating this elaborate ruse. What's going on with you two?" Tyrone sighed, shaking his head. He couldn't help but wonder why things couldn't be simpler.

Tyrone had already dug into Scott's background and found that he was nothing more than a worthless scoundrel. Despite this, he had somehow managed to win Mia over.

Now, Scott was living off a few wealthy women, enjoying their lavish company and perks while still making Mia work for him. It was astonishing how far someone could fall.

"I remember how upset you were when Helen's secret identity came to light," Adrian remarked, giving an honest assessment.

"That's exactly the problem," Chandler admitted, frustrated by the deadlock he found himself in.

"If I were Helen, I'd have left you by now," Laura interjected, striding over in her high heels.

Chandler looked up at her but remained silent.

Laura was the only woman on his advisory team, and she was possibly the most attuned to Helen's perspective. This insight made her especially intimidating to Chandler.

Meanwhile, Graham was surprised to see Chandler so troubled. He had always witnessed Chandler handle even the toughest projects with ease, yet he seemed caught in a web of worries over Helen.

"I think you could appeal to her emotions and try to reason with her," Graham suggested.

"Reason with a woman?" Tyrone replied, his tone laced with skepticism.

Laura was offended by Tyrone's comment. "Who says women are unreasonable?"

In fact, she took pride in her rationality. Ultimately, Chandler was at fault for hiding his identity and using the guise of "Otto" to flirt with and test Helen. It was utterly reprehensible.

Despite Chandler being her boss, Laura couldn't bring herself to support him.

"So, you're saying that trying to reason with Helen could result in losing her?" Chandler asked, his voice weary.

The room fell silent. It was indeed a possible outcome.

"That's why I've come to accept her. The key now is to show Ms. Spencer that you care for her as much as she cares for you—even more than you care for yourself."

With that, Reggie gave a heartfelt nod and turned to leave.

Chandler remained standing there, lost in thought.

After days of practicing calligraphy in Iris' style, Sadie began to capture some of its essence.

As she surveyed the scattered practice sheets in her study, she found herself seeing them as her own creations.

The strokes flowed gracefully, each marked by a bold and distinctive touch.

After picking out her best piece, Sadie photographed it and sent the image to her calligraphy mentor, Dylan Snyder.
