Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1768

The next morning, Helen and Chandler were jolted awake by a loud knock on their bedroom door.

"Sir, Mr. Vanderpool insists he needs to see Ms. Terzian. He says he won't leave without meeting her!" the housekeeper called out.

With no choice left, Helen and Chandler dragged their sleep-deprived selves downstairs to face the unexpected guest.

"Hello, Mr. Vanderpool," Helen said, stretching lazily. "What brings you here so early in the morning?"

"Good morning, Ms. Terzian. I'm here to take you with me; Prince Carl wants to see you," Thorley replied, his smug expression making him seem rather insufferable.

"What's this about?" Chandler asked dully, still feeling the effects of last night's exhaustion.

"I'm afraid that's something I can't disclose right now." Thorley smirked, raising his eyebrows as if he held all the cards. "Ms. Terzian will find out once she's there."

Leaning against Chandler, Helen scrolled through her phone, showing no intention of moving.

"Just a moment, Mr. Vanderpool. Let me change my clothes so I can come with you," Chandler offered.

"There's no need for that," Thorley replied, his tone dripping with arrogance. "His Highness is only interested in seeing Ms. Terzian today. Mr. Newton, you can come back another time."

At Thorley's words, Chandler's expression immediately shifted. A menacing air enveloped him, his eyes cold and threatening.

Surprisingly, Thorley didn't back down. He met Chandler's gaze without flinching, causing the atmosphere between them to thicken with tension.

Just then, Helen's phone buzzed twice, breaking the charged silence. She glanced at the screen and saw a message from Anna.

"Make sure Mr. Chandler accompanies you!"

Helen paused for a moment, considering her options. She calmly handed the phone to Chandler and stood up. "While His Highness wants to see me, I have no desire to meet him. I'm not going."

Trouble was definitely on the horizon.

As expected, the moment Helen and Chandler exchanged greetings, Orson and Isabelle wasted no time launching into their theatrics.

"Mr. Newton and Ms. Terzian, I apologize for not informing you sooner; this matter is quite serious," Orson said, stepping aside to let Isabelle take center stage.

He continued, "This morning, Ms. Rodrigo knelt in front of the Department of Commerce, holding a sign denouncing the unfairness of the designer selection process.

"After assessing the situation, I felt it was necessary to bring her here so we could discuss how to address this issue together.

"Ms. Rodrigo, please feel free to share your grievances with Their Highnesses."

Despite being the architect of the entire situation, Orson presented himself as a neutral mediator. This was unmistakably the behavior of a seasoned manipulator.
