Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 167

Chandler squinted his eyes slightly. "Ms. Richard, did you mean that I have gained weight and become an important figure in your life?" His remark carried a teasing tone, but it eased the tension.

Yoko couldn't help but smile."You can see it that way too."

Helen felt particularly out of place sitting there. Besides, Jasmine was calling her. So, she found a reason to excuse herself. "Mr. Chandler, I have something to attend to, so I'm leaving now."

Just as she said this, Joshua remarked, "Ms. Spencer, you're being quite disrespectful now. You just sat and now you want to leave. Is it because I've signed the contract, so now you want to leave?"

"Mr. Richard, you've misunderstood me. That's not my intention—" explained Helen.

Joshua hurriedly cut her off, saying, "Since that's not your intention, then what's the hurry to leave? Stay a bit longer and have a few more drinks."

With no other option, she could only look to Chandler for help. But he just smiled and remained silent.

Left with no choice, Helen sent a message to Jasmine about her current situation.

However, shortly after, Jasmine arrived with Jenny and Phishie in a hurry. They pushed open the door to the private room, and Jasmine asked, "Helen, are you alright?"

Joshua's eyes widened at the sudden appearance of several pretty girls. A broad smile appeared on his face. "Ms. Spencer, are they all your friends?"

Joshua wanted to stop them, but Chandler stopped him. "Mr. Richard, let's have a drink."

Unable to refuse Chandler's request, Joshua reluctantly took a glass and drank with him. When Helen and her group left, the spacious room was left with only the three of them.

Yoko had originally planned to spend a good time with Chandler, but Helen had caused a scene. Chandler's already indifferent attitude toward her had become even colder. She had no choice but to turn to Joshua for help.

Joshua understood her intention. Originally, he had been delaying signing the contract because he was trying to create an opportunity for Yoko and Chandler. Unexpectedly, Helen managed to make him sign it with just a few words. Now, he couldn't figure out Chandler's intentions.

He tentatively spoke up, "Mr. Chandler, our cooperation is successful, but we didn't really enjoy our drinks. How about we change venues and let Yoko accompany you for a few more drinks?"
