Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 530

The casual confinement and blatant mistreatment of elders seemed like a norm in Faye's house.

"I guess you don't spend time with your grandparents often, Ms. Spencer," Faye said calmly.

"Why does that matter?" Helen replied with a raised brow.

Faye raised her brows subtly and her smile dropped a little. Her eyes were full of confidence. "In that case, you must've never heard of the saying, 'The elderly at 70 is half of a child.' At this age, Grandma is most prone to confusion.

"If no one supervises her, she might wander off and get into accidents. Who would bear the responsibility then?"

Helen was speechless. It was definitely difficult for a stranger to deal with family affairs. Family disputes were the most difficult to deal with.

The stranger couldn't accuse anyone easily and if they did rashly, they would be the one to blame. However, she couldn't just stand by and watch an old woman getting bullied.

"Of course, I trust that you mean well, Ms. Boston. But there are many examples of good intentions leading to bad outcomes in this world. I wonder how much you know about the jail time for elderly mistreatment," Helen countered Faye's gaze with the same intensity.

She showed her how it felt to be treated like how Faye treated them. Before Faye could reply, Helen continued, "Confinement, restriction of personal freedom, mental abuse—all of these actions will likely result in a two-year sentence."

"Be careful, Ms. Boston," she added innocently as if she didn't just say the most threatening words.

Faye's expression changed rapidly, looking quite unpleasant. She narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Helen.

Perhaps Wanda was right after all—this kid was truly ignorant. It wouldn't be anything to get in jail, but if the news of two abused elderlies got out, the plan she had been working on for so many years would be affected.

After some consideration, Faye smiled casually. "Thank you for reminding me, Ms. Spencer. But I don't think that day would come."

With that, she turned to Wanda and her smile immediately faded. "Ms. Clarke, I told you many times to care for Grandma properly. You always assign such heavy-handed people.

"To everyone else, it looks like the Bostons can't afford to care for the elderly. It's going to ruin the reputation we've built over generations!"

Helen sighed and smiled. As expected of a woman who single-handedly turned this house upside down. With just a few words, she not only brushed off the accusations of elderly abuse but subtly mocked Helen.

Wasn't she implying that the Bostons had a strict family tradition and a strong family background, yet still abused the elderly?

No one would've believed Helen if she told anyone. After Faye finished speaking, she subtly signaled to Wanda and the other housekeepers.

Wanda immediately understood and told the housekeepers to step away. They backed away from Daphne and pretended to let her go. They all seemed to comply outwardly but trapped her internally.

After a few words, Helen had no intention of hanging around any longer. Their eyes met briefly and she walked away.

Just after coming out of Faye's house, there were beeps from a horn across the road. Helen looked up and saw Adrian's car. She walked over.

The driver was attentive and got out of the car to open the door. She nodded in thanks and got in.

As soon as she settled in, Adrian instructed the driver, "Drive."

He turned to Helen and asked, "What did the Bostons want to do with you?"

She looked back at the door and replied casually, "Nothing. There's just some minor details with the wedding dress that needed to be confirmed."

There was no way to tell how many dangers there were in this multi-million-dollar mansion. If she could, she preferred not to be involved anymore. She already had enough trouble on her plate.

Even if she wasn't afraid of trouble, she didn't want to add any more. Helen hated trouble the most.

"That's good," Adrian said with a nod. "The waters run deep within the Bostons. It's best to not be too involved with them."
