Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1326

Scarlett's smile stiffened, and she instinctively shifted to the side, her expression darkening. "What do you mean by that, Ms. Randle? I don't quite understand."

"Are you really that oblivious, or just pretending? You know what's happening here," Kiara shot back, slamming her cup onto the table with a loud thud. "Chandler is way out of your league. You'd be wise to let go of that fantasy."

"Ms. Randle, you certainly have some nerve," Scarlett said, a smirk tugging at her lips.

She turned away and said confidently, "I hold two doctoral degrees, my father has a prominent position in the government, and my mother is well-respected in the business world.

"The moment I returned to the country, I received offers for chief editor positions from major publications. Even Chandler's mother has gone to great lengths to support me. If I'm not supposed to be interested in him, what makes you think you have the right to be?"

"What did you say?" Kiara retorted, gripping the hem of her dress tightly. "Did Aunt Priscilla send you here?"

After the Randle family went bankrupt, Kiara moved in with Helen, effectively cutting ties with Priscilla. Despite this, she clung to the belief that Priscilla still supported her from a distance.

Yet, less than six months later, Priscilla had already chosen another prospective daughter-in-law. Did that mean Kiara meant nothing to her?

Kiara's nose tingled as tears threatened to spill. She had truly regarded Priscilla as a mother, yet it felt as if Priscilla had easily forgotten her.

It turned out the Newton family was nothing but heartless and ungrateful.

"Why else do you think a young and beautiful woman like me would be in Chandler's new house?" Scarlett asked with a smug smile.

Kiara gritted her teeth, struggling to find the right words to respond.

What could she possibly say?

Scarlett had the support of Priscilla and a powerful family, while Kiara was left to fend for herself after the Randle family's bankruptcy.

Though she had studied abroad, it was all funded by Julian. Back home, she relied on her family's dwindling resources and lacked any real work experience. Beyond her looks, she had little to boast about.

As the saying went, "It's better to offend a petty person than to cross a woman." When two women clashed, it often became an intricate puzzle with no resolution in sight.

Even with all her degrees, Scarlett found herself at a loss against Kiara's audacity.

Scarlett's frustration boiled over as she grabbed Kiara, pulling her toward the door. "I may not be able to handle Helen, but I can definitely deal with you! Get out! Now!"

Kiara's pent-up resentment erupted, and she instinctively fought back.

The two women wrestled, tugging at each other's clothes and hair, neither willing to give an inch.

"Hey, ladies, please stop!" a nearby housekeeper shouted, rushing over to intervene. Despite her attempts, both women quickly brushed her aside.

Seeing things getting out of hand, the housekeeper hurried upstairs and knocked on Helen's door.
