Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 627

These conventional PR methods each had their advantages and drawbacks, but none seemed to align with Chandler's intentions.

He sat quietly in his chair, allowing the heated discussions at the table to continue unchecked, appearing lost in his thoughts. The atmosphere around him grew uncomfortably chilly.

Zac's bold move was clearly a desperate attempt to corner Helen, trying to force her into an unwanted alliance with him.

However, Zac had underestimated her; Helen responded more positively to gentle persuasion than forceful coercion. Such drastic tactics would only serve to distance her even more.

Nonetheless, Chandler's priorities lay elsewhere. He was singularly focused on one thing—ensuring that nobody could harm Helen again.

Breaking from his thoughts, Chandler raised his hand and tapped twice on the table's surface.

Instantly, the PR team fell silent, all eyes turning toward Chandler.

"It seems you all still fail to grasp the importance of who Helen Spencer is. Let me be perfectly clear—as long as I'm in charge, Helen's reputation is as crucial as the reputation of Newton Group."

With a deliberate gesture, Chandler raised his left hand, checking his wristwatch. "It's currently 1:28 pm. You've already wasted 18 minutes and 23 seconds.

"Before the clock strikes two, I don't want to see the name 'Helen Spencer' mentioned on any social platform. I won't accept any excuses. Otherwise, I'll be expecting resignation letters from each of you."

An oppressive silence swallowed the office. Except for Chandler, everyone around the table seemed as though they had been sculpted from the same stone—furrowed brows and a palpable seriousness in their demeanor.

With only 30 minutes left, their collective intelligence failed to decipher Chandler's preferred course of action. Moreover, given Chandler's current mood, any attempt to inquire would likely invite trouble.

Before them lay two options. They could remain silent and inactive, allowing time to pass as public scrutiny intensified, ultimately shouldering the blame and resigning. Or, they could summon the courage to confront Chandler, risking the potential consequences of his wrathful gaze.

Nonetheless, both options seemed to lead to certain disasters, and no one dared to take the risk.

Empty-handed.

Upon hearing those words, Chandler felt as though he had been struck forcefully across the face.

How many times had Zac managed to slip away right under his nose?

The core of the problem wasn't whether Helen would be affected by the media's gossip but Chandler's capability to confront Zac and protect Helen.

If he could apprehend Zac and ensure Helen's safety, none of this would have occurred in the first place.

It was time to put a stop to this.
