Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 604

In the surveillance footage, the figure depicted was undoubtedly Helen. As she sat at the edge of the bed, her face betrayed her anxiety.

"You—" Charlie exclaimed, his frustration evident in his panting breaths. Never had he imagined his beloved granddaughter would be held captive by the likes of Zac.

"You better release Helen immediately, or I promise you'll regret it!"

Sylvia suddenly lunged forward, gripping Zac's collar, her frantic state evident in every fiber of her being.

Unfazed, Zac exuded a fearless demeanor, his smirk adding an unsettling edge to his already malicious presence.

Releasing a chilling chuckle, he taunted, "Of course, I'll release her. How else could I secure her hand in marriage?"

His words hit Charlie and Sylvia like a heavy blow, piercing their hearts.

Indeed, Zac proved himself to be nothing but a contemptible scoundrel.

Both Charlie and Sylvia were intimately familiar with Helen's character. There was no conceivable way she would willingly agree to marry Zac unless she were being forced.

But at this critical juncture, failing to comply with Zac's demands would undoubtedly put Helen's life at risk.

Therefore, their only recourse was to temporarily appease Zac to secure Helen's release.

At the same time, they realized that the matters concerning the Newton family were best managed by the Newtons themselves.

"We'll convey your message, but let's address the heart of the matter—how do you plan to proceed with a wedding without the bride?

"While Helen may be under your influence for now, we cannot simply stand idly by and allow you to tarnish her reputation!"

Charlie's tone grew firm, his expression serious. His mind was already devising a strategy.

Unperturbed, Zac shamelessly fired back, "The wedding is set for three days from now. Make the necessary preparations."

Once the date was finalized, it would become common knowledge to everyone. At that point, Zac would use the photos as a bargaining chip to pressure Helen into marrying him!

Without waiting for a response from Charlie and Sylvia, Zac turned and strode away.

"Does he honestly think he's worthy of Helen? It's pure delusion! That despicable man!" Charlie exclaimed as he slammed his cane forcefully into the ground, his anger palpable.

He had never encountered someone as shameless as Zac.

Concerned for Helen's safety, Charlie realized he couldn't concede to Zac's demands.

Publicly announcing the wedding date only to retract it later would cause a major scandal, especially given Helen's ongoing engagement with Chandler.

If Helen were to marry Zac—especially considering Zac's connection as Chandler's younger brother—it would undoubtedly spark a whirlwind of gossip.

Without hesitation, Charlie quickly retrieved his phone and dialed Chandler's number.
