Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1968

Seth rushed past the crowd and finally caught up with Germaine by the side door.

"Gem! You owe me an explanation today. I've called you countless times and sent so many messages, yet you haven't responded to a single one!" he said, sounding full of grievance.

As cold as ever, Germaine replied, "If I didn't want to reply, I won't. Being too close to you never seems to end well."

"What do you mean by that? We just reunited, and now you're saying this?" Seth protested, but before he could continue, Freya and Bryan appeared.

Germaine noticed that Freya had her arm linked with Bryan's, looking very close and intimate.

She scoffed inwardly. She hadn't expected that Bryan would actually listen to her advice. He had shifted his attention to Freya after failing to win her over.

Nearby, Jenson, who had been socializing, noticed Bryan getting too close to Germaine. He quickly stepped in, pulling her into his arms.

"Your physical condition is impressive, Mr. Wixx. You spent the whole night on the streets in such cold weather and weren't even affected. Quite admirable."

It seemed he hadn't been harsh enough earlier. Maybe he should have just thrown Bryan straight into the cold storage.

"As a man, a good physique is a must. If the chance arises, we can spar a bit," Bryan responded as if nothing had happened.

Jenson cursed inwardly, amazed to find someone with thicker skin than himself. It was a real eye-opener.

Freya and Bryan were indeed a perfect match.

"Gem, Gem!" Seth called after her, but Germaine no longer intended to engage with him.

With that, he threw up his hands and stormed off.

"Did he slap me because of that illegitimate child?" Freya exclaimed in disbelief, covering her face.

"Does it hurt?" Bryan gently rubbed her face, his tone soft. "Don't be angry, I'm here. I'll make sure that Germaine gets nothing from the Moran family's fortune."

Freya leaned into him, feeling like she had finally found someone she could rely on. "Only you truly understand me."

"Of course." Bryan held her hand, his expression darkening.

No one had ever dared to humiliate him like Jenson and Germaine did. He would make sure to settle the score.
