Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1860

Germaine regretted not driving herself.

"Just wait a little longer."

"Wait for what?"

Bryan stayed silent. His eyes focused on her with an affectionate look, as sincere and intense as a young man in love for the first time.

After a pause, he walked over to her, standing side by side as they both gazed out at the sea. "It'll be here soon. Don't blink."

The moment his words left his lips, a sharp sound pierced the air. In that instant, fireworks exploded from the walls of more than twenty skyscrapers along the coast.

The fireworks reached their peak, blooming in the sky like dazzling stars.

The entire coastline was lit up. As one firework faded, another erupted, even more brilliant and intense than the last.

From afar, the radiant lights reflected on Germaine's face.

She smiled.

It was time.

"Back then, I poured everything into securing this project, all so I could one day share this fireworks display with you. But by then, your disappointment in me had run so deep that you couldn't bear to give me another chance.

"Gem, I've never stopped thinking about you all these years. Give me one more chance, and I promise I'll love you the way you deserve. Can we start over?"

Bryan gazed at Germaine, his eyes welling with tears, as though his heart were shattered beyond repair. As he spoke, a single tear escaped from the corner of his eye, falling silently to the ground.

Indeed, a man's tears were precious. That tear didn't just touch the earth—it seemed to fall directly on her heart, evoking a deep, unexplainable sympathy.

Fed up, Germaine finally snapped. "Seth doesn't only have me as a daughter. I know you too well to fall for your schemes. If you're really trying to get close to the Moran family, I suggest you find a different target."

With that, she turned and walked away. She hailed a cab from the roadside, leaving without a second glance.

Bryan stood motionless for a moment, wiping the tears from his face. His expression hardened, the warmth in his eyes completely disappearing.

…

The news of Hugo's disappearance after falling into the sea spread rapidly. Consumed by worry, his father, Carlos Hunt, fell seriously ill and was soon hospitalized.

BJ Group's stock price took a sharp dive, and amid the chaos, Aiden was called upon to take control of the company.

Lucy sat in the hospital corridor, engulfed in despair. Unable to bear it any longer, she decided to call Taylor. "Can you come and keep me company?"
