Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 675

"You must be Ronald and Chad Lindvall, right? I'm Chandler's mother. I remember holding both of you when you were little. In fact, you should address me as Madam Newton."

Upon hearing this, Ronald and Chad exchanged meaningful glances.

What was her motive? Was this woman attempting to ingratiate herself with them?

Chad raised an eyebrow at Ronald, silently asking, "Should we play along?"

Ronald closed his eyes briefly, indicating he would handle the situation.

Turning to Priscilla, Ronald greeted her warmly, saying, "Indeed, Madam Newton, you have an impressive memory. Even after all these years, you remember Chad and me."

"Absolutely." Priscilla nodded, a smile playing on her lips. She continued, "As you're aware, the Newtons and Lindvalls have a longstanding friendship. Let's not let a minor misunderstanding strain our relations.

"After all, both of you will eventually inherit your family businesses. It's always better to have more allies than unnecessary adversaries, don't you think? Perhaps it's time to embrace this principle."

"Madam Newton, your wisdom is undeniable. However, I must confess I'm a bit confused. Could you clarify your meaning?" Ronald adopted a puzzled expression, pretending not to grasp Priscilla's attempt to reconcile.

Priscilla remained composed, acknowledging her dependence on their goodwill.

She adopted a respectful tone and continued cordially, "Since that's the case, let me be straightforward. Helen is my son's girlfriend, essentially making her part of the Newton family.

"If you two could overlook this misunderstanding and extend an olive branch, our family would greatly appreciate it."

Chandler's face darkened visibly upon hearing Priscilla's words. "Mom, what are you saying?"

"Quiet," Priscilla snapped impatiently, her tone laced with disdain. "I'm here to smooth things over for you. Both you and your girlfriend should be careful with your words."

Ironically, what Helen despised most was precisely the rigid emphasis on rules and conventions.

The traditions of the Newton family had endured for generations, preserving a distinct set of interpersonal norms. It was a world where even minor missteps could lead to significant consequences.

Helen could foresee a future where her interests diverged from those of the Newton family, a scenario in which Priscilla would willingly choose to abandon her.

This was not what Helen yearned for.

She desired a life characterized by bold independence, shaped by her own guiding principles.

With a deep breath, Helen approached a nearby police officer who was busy jotting down notes. She calmly asked, "Sir, could I borrow your computer for a moment?"
