Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 673

Before he could come near Ivan, Taylor was intercepted by Michael and a squad of police officers.

"What do you think you're doing? How dare you act so boldly in a police station? Do you have any respect for the law?" Michael demanded.

"The law? The law is supposed to punish criminals. This man here is coercing his employees into lying and obstructing justice. You should be restraining him, not me. I'm just trying to do the right thing! Let me go!" Taylor argued vehemently.

Taylor, known for his strict fitness routine, was visibly energized as tensions mounted.

At one point, three or four police officers struggled to contain him, and the situation almost got out of hand.

Observing the unfolding chaos, Michael firmly held up his police baton. "I don't care what your reasons are. Violence is not an option. If you don't stop immediately, we'll have to use force to restrain you!"

Meanwhile, Ivan, Ronald, and Chad stood casually on the sidelines, smirking as they continued to taunt Taylor.

"Hey, if you're such a tough guy, quit talking and do something. Seriously, falling for such a basic trick—I'm genuinely worried about the Xander family's future."

"I honestly didn't think you'd be taken in by someone like Helen. Don't you know she only cares about money? It really shows your poor judgment," Ronald sneered unexpectedly.

"What did you just say?" Taylor exploded in anger, prompting Michael and the officers to brace themselves, preparing to intervene.

Witnessing the tension escalate, Helen rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Just as Helen was about to intervene and restore order, Chandler stepped in preemptively. Addressing Ronald directly, he asked, "Were you talking about my fiancée?"

Chandler's voice was cold and collected, each word carrying a sharp edge that seemed to linger in the air.

Ronald, who had been laughing moments earlier, suddenly froze. Meeting Chandler's intense gaze, a chill ran down his spine. His smile vanished, and he quickly restrained himself, no longer daring to be brazen.

Chandler briefly closed his eyes, conveying a clear warning through his expression. Stepping forward, he firmly grasped Taylor's shoulders to steady him.

Chandler seemed to have a way of relating everything to their relationship.

Noticing Taylor's lack of reaction, Ivan's expression soured. He narrowed his eyes, observing them briefly before striding over to Frank.

"Mr. Levine," Ivan said with a gracious tone, "Chief Hemington asked me to extend his regards to you."

Ivan's words were carefully chosen, omitting "Deputy" from Frank's title to subtly flatter him.

Without explicitly saying so, Ivan conveyed his close relationship with Roger Hemington, the Chief of Police, making it clear whose side Frank should naturally lean towards.

As anticipated, Frank's expression subtly shifted upon hearing Roger's name.

While Helen may have had the backing of a precinct director, it held little sway in front of the chief.
