Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1725

"I'm just stating the facts. If Adrian has nothing to hide, he should let Ursula come out and talk to us in front of the police!" Hobart insisted.

He was sure that Ursula was trapped, and he was determined not to back down.

"Alright," Adrian replied with a nonchalant shrug. "Since you're so insistent, I'll oblige."

He pulled out his phone and dialed the villa's number. Moments later, Ursula's voice came through the speaker. "What's going on?"

Adrian smiled as he held up the phone, speaking casually, "Ursula, Mr. Combes has arrived at my parents' home with the police. He's claiming you're being held against your will. Why don't you set the record straight for them?"

Hobart quickly grabbed the phone, his voice filled with urgency. "Ursula, can you hear me? It's Hobart! You don't need to be afraid anymore. I've contacted the police. Just say you're not there voluntarily, and we can get you out of this. You won't have to live under his control any longer!"

However, Ursula's response was cool and dismissive. "I can hear you."

Her voice was barely above a whisper, tinged with impatience. "I already made myself clear this morning. We broke up a long time ago, and I'm doing just fine now. Adrian treats me well, so please stop harassing me.

"And if the police are there, please listen closely. Adrian is the father of my child, and we're about to get married. I don't want anyone to interfere with our relationship. We're citizens who deserve equal treatment. I hope you can respect our privacy and stop supporting this harmful behavior."

Hobart struggled to keep his frustration in check. "No, Ursula, you need to wake up! I'm trying to help you! If this keeps going, you'll lose yourself, Ursula—"

Before he could finish, Ursula hung up.

Staring at his phone's screen, Hobart's grip tightened, his hand shaking with rage.

He stood in silence for a moment, teeth clenched in torment. Without warning, he punched Adrian squarely in the face, sending him sprawling to the ground. "What the hell did you do to Ursula, you bastard?"

Martin let out a sigh of relief and swiftly cuffed Hobart, his voice steady and resolute. "Mr. Chandler, you have my word. I'll ensure this case is resolved quickly and that nothing like this happens again.

"Now that the issue is settled, I won't take up any more of your time. I'm taking him back to the station."

Hobart caught Chandler's subtle signal, his anxiety growing as he feared Priscilla might continue to press the issue. After exchanging a few quick words, he hurriedly escorted Hobart out, eager to make a swift exit.

As Priscilla watched them leave, she couldn't help but roll her eyes in frustration. "Hobart may look so charming on the outside, but looks could be deceptive. Even after the breakup, he still can't let go of Ursula. You really can't judge a person by their appearance!"

She rushed over to check on Adrian, gently cupping his face with both hands. "Let me see. Did they hurt you?"

"I'm fine," Adrian replied coldly, brushing her hands away. "Sorry for the trouble, but I need to leave. Ursula's not safe alone at home."
