Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 556

Helen said softly, "He apologized, and I'm not him. Whether he's a pervert has nothing to do with me."

"What are you saying? So the girl he molested deserved it?"

Helen's words immediately drew criticism. No. People had been targeting her since she entered this gala.

It was first achieved through Chandler's connections. Now, she was being accused of being heartless. Her emotions surged at this remark.

She pushed past Chandler. "Did I ever say that the girl deserved to be molested?

"He hurt that girl. Whatever consequences he faces are her business, not mine. I have no right to wish him dead. Please don't twist my words or guilt-trip me!"

Helen was not the only one angered. Even Chandler couldn't bear to listen to those accusations. But when Helen's temper flared, she preferred handling things herself. Chandler respected her for that.

"Twisting your words? You wouldn't flinch at all if this pervert were to kill someone in front of you. Are you implying that?"

A mocking laughter suddenly erupted from the crowd. Though some used their phones as lights, parts remained dark.

Amongst the growing crowd, it was impossible to see who was speaking. They were confronting her now like cowards.

But Chandler shielded her, pulling her behind him.

"Don't distort and twist facts here. What my fiancée means is this man has already apologized to her. He doesn't have to die to make amends!"

"We are not deaf. We heard what she said. Isn't that the same as what the man meant? How ruthless!"

"Exactly. So what if she earned her first place? How could anyone expect such a vicious person to contribute to society? It would be a miracle if she didn't cause more harm than good!"

"Indeed! You can't judge a book by its cover!"

"So what will you do? The power was out, we couldn't see their faces. Are you going to arrest all of them?" Helen teased him.

Chandler remained silent. His tense expression indicated that he had considered it seriously. He would go that far for her, despite the cost. Helen felt grateful and touched when she realized this.

"Chandler, thank you."

"Why should you thank me? I haven't done anything yet. I can't let them off. Or else, people will say I'm useless."

"No. You protected me well just now."

His instinctive reaction said it all. She hadn't misjudged him, nor had she chosen wrongly.

"Helen, what else are you hiding from me?" Chandler couldn't help but ask as he looked at her smiling face.
