Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 2053

Bryan never expected this. Despite his careful planning, he had still walked right into Jenson's trap.

Upon hearing Salome's confession, Freya glanced over, her fury starting to subside.

While she often boasted of not needing men due to her wealth and success, the reality was that her fear of aging lay behind those claims.

The idea of Bryan choosing someone younger was unbearable to Freya. If he hadn't been with Salome, it would have reassured her that she still had some hold over him.

Glancing at Freya, Bryan realized he had passed yet another test. Without hesitation, he shoved Salome roughly to the floor. "You can leave now. Go tell Jenson that if he's going to set up a honey trap, he should at least find someone with a better body than Frey's."

Salome instinctively crossed her legs, desperately trying to cover herself. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, overwhelmed by the sheer humiliation of the situation.

Bryan was completely intolerable. She had helped him out of a difficult situation, and instead of showing any gratitude, he humiliated her with his words. It was as though he was openly suggesting that he wouldn't want her, even if she threw herself at him.

Her body may not have been perfect, but it was well-toned, with curves in all the right places. What was wrong with that?

While Germaine had said those words out of jealousy before, for Bryan to repeat them was completely absurd. Did he even understand what he was talking about?

Meanwhile, Bryan returned to Freya's side, shamelessly leaning in close. "Frey, you heard that, right? I'm completely devoted to you. How could I possibly be interested in someone as skinny as her? If you're going to be jealous over something like this, you're only lowering your own worth."

Freya took a deep breath, her irritation easing slightly at his words. As she looked at Salome sitting on the floor, her stomach churned. "Why are you still here? Do you want me to throw you out myself?"

Feeling powerless and unable to provoke any further trouble, Salome spoke in a soft, pitiful tone, "Could you at least give me something to wear?"

In that instant, Freya grabbed a bathrobe from the wardrobe and tossed it at Salome. "Get out!"

Salome hurriedly put on the robe and fled.

Though this wasn't her first time, she couldn't let someone exploit her so shamelessly. The Newton family wielded considerable power—what chance did she stand against them?

"At least you still have me. Look at me—nothing happened to you last night, right?" Lucy said, stepping in front of her with a serious expression.

That morning, Lucy had received a message from Jenson, explaining that the water Germaine had given her had been drugged. Having seen Salome drink it, she couldn't help but be worried.

Salome paused, locking eyes with Lucy. For a moment, her unease started to dissipate.

Indeed, her loyal best friend was still by her side.

The Hunt family was her strongest ally, after all.
