Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 2056

"Are you messing with me? Or did you never intend to take responsibility?" Lucy's frustration mounted, feeling as though she were being manipulated.

The fact that Jenson hadn't even asked for details made it clear he knew exactly what had happened. He was aware that she was here to defend Salome, yet he spoke so arrogantly, as though he was certain there was nothing she could do. It only validated Salome's claims.

"What does this have to do with me?" Jenson replied, his tone defensive. "Since when does someone have to take responsibility for just watching things unfold?"

"Salome says you forced her. Doesn't that concern you?" Lucy shot back.

"What? This is insane!" Jenson exclaimed in exasperation. "I'm innocent! Salome clearly came out of Bryan's room across the hall—how can you possibly blame me for this?"

Lucy glanced toward Room 205, doubt beginning to creep in. "Salome said it herself. She wouldn't be mistaken about something like this, would she?"

"My memory's just as sharp," Jenson replied, clearly trying to avoid taking responsibility. "I was with my fiancée all night. There's no way I'd confuse something like that."

This was ridiculous. When Jenson woke up, Salome had already been wrapped up like a bundle. He had only moved her to Bryan's room and barely glanced at her feet—this was a blatant attempt to set him up.

Having already endured a long night and a tense conversation with Salome, Lucy couldn't contain her frustration with Jenson's attitude. "Mr. Jenson, you should understand that I came to you first because you said we were friends. Just so you know, I could've gone straight to the police."

She was looking for honesty from both sides, not just attempts to evade responsibility. If drugs were involved, she would even try to get Salome to forgive him. However, Jenson's attitude was downright disappointing.

"The only reason I'm even listening to all of this is because I saved your friend," Jenson said with a shrug. "Believe me, Ms. Hunt, if it were anyone else, they would have been thrown out the moment they started accusing me."

He might appear careless, but he wasn't completely irresponsible.

"Alright, I understand," Lucy said, conceding to the situation.

After a brief pause, she added, "Earlier, Salome tried to take her own life, but I managed to stop her. I promised her that I would secure reasonable compensation.

Jenson instinctively reached up to touch his head. "When did you get my hair sample? How did I miss that?"

Their composed demeanor helped ease some of Lucy's doubts, but she still accepted the hair samples. "Let's hope the results don't put us in a difficult situation."

With that, Lucy hurried down the emergency stairs, holding the hair samples tightly in her hands.

"Why would she take the stairs when the elevator's right there? That's odd," Jenson grumbled.

Before Germaine could respond, he went on, "Oh well, never mind. Babe, you were amazing. How about a kiss?"

"Stop," Germaine interrupted, pressing a finger to his lips. "You're still a suspect. Stay six feet away from me."

With that, she turned and walked back into the room.
