Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1979

James's eyes widened in nervousness. "Mr. Newton, does this mean we're canceling the plan to set up Colin?"

Chandler shook his head. "No, I've come up with something even more interesting."

Sensing his dark mood, Helen felt a chill run down her spine. "Looks like someone's in for some serious trouble."

…

Colin's phone rang just past midnight.

"Mr. Craig, as expected, Chandler has left the company, accompanied by his two trusted bodyguards, James and Reggie!"

Colin narrowed his eyes, making a quick decision. "Follow them!"

Half an hour later, based on the address provided by his men, Colin arrived at the West Coast dock.

They had set up at a lighthouse, a perfect vantage point from which they could clearly observe the scene at the dock using binoculars.

Colin took the binoculars and focused on Chandler. He watched as Chandler spoke with the captain, signed for something, and left James behind.

Every movement confirmed that the cargo on the ship was crucial to Destiny Corporation's operations. Whether it was arms or something else, capturing it would be a major win.

"Well, Mr. Craig, everyone's waiting!"

"Are we going for it or not? Please, give us a word!"

His subordinates, eager not to miss this chance, pressed him for a decision.

Colin scanned the room, then spoke in a deep voice. "Today, we're taking back everything we've lost."

Colin quickly found cover and peeked out, seeing over a dozen yachts approaching, all firing continuously. It seemed like they planned to riddle them with holes.

After the earlier skirmish, their ammunition was running low, so Colin ordered his men to conserve their fire. Even then, the shooting continued for another ten minutes before finally ceasing.

Seizing the opportunity, Colin sent someone to negotiate with the people on the yachts. "Who are you? The Trinity Alliance already targets this shipment. Find another target!"

Colin thought he had stumbled into another underground group.

"What Trinity Alliance? Never heard of them! I'm Stenson Holland. Are you trying to steal from my shipment? Looks like you're asking for trouble!"

With that, Stenson fired a shot, killing one of Colin's men.

Colin's face darkened. "Stenson? Aren't they part of the Holland family? What are they doing involved in this?"
