Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 129

Chandler continued, "I'll compensate you for overtime based on hourly rates."

Helen beamed, "Sounds good, Mr. Newton!"

The next morning, Helen was up early. Chandler, however, didn't contact her until noon. When they finally met, Helen couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Newton, didn't you plan to go out? Why are you only contacting me now?"

She thought about the hours she wasted, the money she could have earned.

Of course, she kept that last part to herself.

Chandler was unfazed as he continued. He bought four or five more stones, each costing between 5000 dollars and 20,000 dollars. Helen watched as Chandler spent freely, feeling pained with each purchase.

"Mr. Newton, what's the purpose of buying these stones?"
