Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1957

"Argh!" Micah screamed, his face turning red from pain.

Chandler pretended not to see. "How cruel. Is this the only trick you know?"

"It's the same old trick, but it's enough as long as it works," James said, very pleased with it.

Shaking his head, Chandler leaned forward and said, "You've heard him. If you don't talk, you won't even be able to keep your other thumb."

As long as he finished speaking, James grabbed Micah's other hand and began to twist his thumb.

Sensing the increasing pressure on his thumb, Micah screamed, "Argh, it hurts! Fine, I'll tell you! It's behind the wall—there's a hidden compartment on the mural behind the counter. There are at least 500 million dollars there. I'm not lying!"

He had no choice but to spill everything. These people were too ruthless. Since he had to die either now or later, he thought it'd be better if he could live a little longer.

James released him and immediately turned to fire at the wall. A barrage of bullets rained down on it, sending dust and dollar bills spiraling in the air.

One bill landed on Chandler's foot. He picked it up and saw several bullet holes in it—it was completely ruined.

Taking the bill, he walked over to James and smacked him lightly on the head. "Did you even think about how hard you were shooting? Go take everything that's not destroyed and pack it up."

"Alright, Mr. Newton. I'll get to work right now," James replied sheepishly.

They cleared out the casino's vault and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Chandler grabbed a stack of cash from his bag and threw it at Micah.

"This is your reward. Tell Stanson that if my people aren't back by dawn tomorrow, this casino will serve as a warning to all the Holland family's casinos!"

"It doesn't matter. Whether I'm hurt or wronged, it has nothing to do with Taylor. I only told you to vent," Lucy said. "He never hurt me, and I genuinely wish him the best. From now on, stop being so harsh toward him and his fiancée."

Lucy only blamed herself for meeting him at the wrong time. She didn't resent either Taylor or Abigail.

"Why hasn't he woken up yet? Salome, can you keep an eye on him for a moment? I'll go get the doctor," Lucy said, promptly leaving the ward as she put down the towel.

Not long after, Taylor woke up.

"Why am I here?" he asked weakly.

"Of course, it's because Lucy and I saved you." Salome rolled her eyes at him, her expression disdainful. "Now you owe Lucy again. You'll never be able to repay her in this lifetime!"
