Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 568

"I don't like hearing such words, nor can I take that kind of joke," he retorted. Chandler dismissed her words directly.

"Okay. I won't say such things or joke like that anymore, alright?" Helen softened her tone, trying to appease him.

"Mmm."

"Then... Can I buy you lunch?" Helen asked in a soft voice upon hearing his dismissive response.

"Am I someone you can dismiss with a meal?" Chandler's serious expression finally softened as he flashed her a wide smile.

Upon seeing this, Helen decided to tease him further. "Well, if you're not, then I'll find someone who can be easily appeased."

With that, Helen released his hand, pretending to walk away. But before she got very far, Chandler pulled her back. They exchanged a smile. The silence spoke volumes. Abandoning his work, Chandler left with her.

But Helen never expected to run into Priscilla and Kiara here. Priscilla looked at her like an enemy. Kiara was no better. Helen was suddenly at a loss for words. What was going on?

"Why don't you join them for the meal?" Helen gently tugged on Chandler's sleeve, lowering her voice.

Priscilla had confronted her a while ago. Now, she witnessed Helen boldly getting together with Chandler. Anyone would have been miffed if they were in Priscilla's place.

But Chandler did not respond. He took Helen's hand and entered a private room, leaving Priscilla fuming in her spot.

"Aunty Priscilla, don't be mad. If you get angry, you're playing into her hands. She's deliberately parading around with Chandler to provoke you." Kiara soothed Priscilla upon seeing her scowl.

However, her words had simply added fuel to the fire.

"Aunty Priscilla, barging in won't make her admit anything. Besides, Chandler won't let us."

"What should we do then?" Priscilla fretted.

Kiara smiled and whispered something that made Priscilla nod with approval.

Meanwhile, Helen fidgeted restlessly in the private room.

"Don't worry. With me here, they won't dare to come over," Chandler said to her upon sensing her trepidation.

Helen sighed. "I'm not worried about them. I just don't want to put you in a difficult position."
