Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 677

Edward wore a faint smile as he slipped his hands into his pockets, moving forward with purpose in his stride.

In a loud voice, he declared, "Mr. Chad, you have disregarded Ms. Helen's wishes and subjected her to harassment. You will face detention and fines in accordance with the law.

"As for you, Mr. Ivan, you have encouraged others to commit perjury and impede judicial justice, thereby tarnishing Ms. Helen's reputation. You are convicted of incitement and obstruction of justice.

"Additionally, employees of Townsend's Car Dealership who conspired to provide false testimony against Ms. Helen will face charges similar to Mr. Ivan's."

Helen nodded calmly in response. "Very well, I'll leave this in your hands. I'll settle the legal fees with you later."

With that, Helen turned sharply and prepared to depart.

Walking past Priscilla, Helen briefly paused, her footsteps faltering. With a hint of disappointment, she questioned, "I truly don't understand. As a mother, why wouldn't you trust your son's decisions and instead favor outsiders?"

Ultimately, dignity and integrity were qualities that must originate from within; depending on others' favor and superficial alliances was akin to chasing after a fleeting dream that would inevitably leave one empty-handed.

For a long time, Helen had displayed considerable patience and respect toward Priscilla, solely in deference to her role as Chandler's mother.

But today, she refused to be a silent pushover any longer.

She stayed true to herself, unaffected by any influence and undaunted by potential repercussions from any direction.

Having spoken her piece, Helen turned and walked away.

As she picked up speed, Chandler jogged a few steps to match her pace.

Before Helen could protest, Chandler gently enclosed her delicate hand in his broad palm. They walked side by side, heading out together.

As Helen looked up, she couldn't help but admire Chandler's profile. His chiseled jawline, reminiscent of a work of art, inexplicably brought a sense of calm to her anxious heart.

Helen didn't pull her hand away. Instead, she allowed Chandler to guide her.

As they left, the atmosphere at the police station grew even more animated.

"Perhaps the Lindvalls could offer Ms. Spencer both an apology and a substantial settlement. This way, she is compensated fairly, and you can extend a gesture of goodwill to both families. How does that sound?"

Edward's expression softened into a smile, but as his eyes formed an arc, the warmth disappeared instantly.

Speaking in a lowered voice, he remarked, "Deputy Levine, rather than hastily seeking favor with the Lindvall and Townsend families, perhaps you should focus on how to justify your mishandling of this matter to your superiors."

With that, Edward turned his head slightly, his gaze locking onto Frank's hand resting on his shoulder. His stare resembled that of a wolf, as though he were poised to strike at any moment.

Frank nervously swallowed, retracting his hand belatedly.

With a hint of impatience, Edward brushed off the spot where he had been touched. His voice grew louder as he proclaimed, "Deputy Levine, if you are unable to uphold the law impartially, I will be forced to escalate this matter to the patrol inspection team."

The inspection team was an internal watchdog within law enforcement, specializing in uncovering corruption and misconduct among officials. Once they set their sights on someone, the repercussions were severe.

Frank was left speechless upon hearing this. He directed his frustration toward his subordinates, bellowing, "What are you waiting for? Are you all deaf? Round up these people and take them into custody immediately!"
