Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1904

As soon as Aiden finished speaking, Dominic appeared, descending the stairs with Connie at his side.

"Keep my name out of your filthy mouth. I refuse to acknowledge an ungrateful son-in-law like you," Dominic said, his gaze filled with disdain. "You bled the Hunt family dry and then plotted their destruction. A heart as venomous as yours doesn't deserve to be called human."

"You—" Aiden froze, panic seizing him as he realized he'd been outwitted. His finger shot out, pointing at Dominic in disbelief. "Did you conspire against me with them?"

"My father is just giving you a taste of your own medicine," Abigail replied sharply, her disappointment in Aiden evident. "When have you ever been honest with us?"

"At least I never tried to destroy the Fitzgerald family!" Aiden snapped, his calm facade shattering. "I just wanted to rise above, to build something for myself. What's so wrong with that?"

He added, "I was so close to success! We could've taken the business to even greater heights together. So why won't you two just let me have it?"

Dominic shook his head in despair, unable to watch the protégé he once admired continue down such a self-destructive path.

"Ambition and drive aren't the issue, but your greed and arrogance are. Do you really believe the Hunt family owes all its success to you? Think again. Without the Hunts' initial investment, you would have spent decades building just a fraction of what you've achieved.

"There's a saying—'Remember the hand that feeds you.' You've built your empire on the foundation the Hunt family gave you, but now you're trying to burn that bridge.

"It's like cutting off the hand that feeds you. Even if we weren't here to stop you, your so-called empire would crumble in two years. And when it does, you'll be left with nothing but the wreckage."

"I don't believe that!" Aiden retorted, dismissing Dominic's words as mere manipulation. "Even if I fail, it's my failure to own! Life should be equal. Why should I live my whole life as the Hunt family's lapdog? I won't accept it—I refuse!"

"Does your resentment give you the right to push me into the sea and destroy Lucy's happiness? You're so selfish! People like you belong in hell!"

Hugo couldn't stand Aiden's self-serving words any longer. Without hesitation, he grabbed him by the collar and started dragging him out. "Come on, we're going to the police. It's time for you to pay for your sins!"

Everything had been under control at first, but now the situation had shifted. What was once a position of power had become one of vulnerability, and they were now forced to react to Aiden's every move.

Aiden held the sharp tip dangerously close to Hugo's skin, applying just enough pressure to graze the surface. With a twisted smile, he looked at Hugo and taunted, "Hugo, I must thank you. You've been quite helpful this time."

Taken off guard by being held hostage, Hugo furrowed his brow in frustration but refused to back down. "Do you honestly think you can just walk away? The police have sealed off the entire area. Unless you're planning to fly or disappear underground, the longer you keep me here, the longer your sentence will be."

"Then let's see if I have what it takes," Aiden replied coldly.

With his free hand, he quickly grabbed Hugo's phone and dialed a number. The call connected after a few moments.

"It's me. The target is at the Fitzgerald residence. Move in now."
