Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 678

Chad, already a magnet for paparazzi due to his status and behavior, once again found himself under intense scrutiny. Alongside Ronald and Ivan, he was placed behind bars, instantly becoming a top trending topic.

Meanwhile, speculations circulated about the audacious mastermind who dared to challenge the authority of both the Lindvall and Townsend families at the same time.

Upon leaving the police station, Helen obtained Edward's bank account details from Chandler. She then transferred 20 thousand dollars into his account, accompanied by a note, "Mr. Green, please proceed strictly according to the law. There's no need to consider my reputation."

Edward couldn't suppress a bitter smile as he read Helen's message.

It was evident that her motives extended beyond protecting anyone's reputation; she wanted him to handle Ronald and Chad with an uncompromising approach.

Just as Edward turned off his phone, the intercom on his desk buzzed, linking him to his secretary. "Mr. Green, Mr. Lindvall Senior is on the line for you."

Without hesitation, Edward pressed the intercom button and responded firmly, "Tell him I'm occupied. Come up with a reason to dismiss him."

Edward had no doubt—it was Vernon Lindvall on the other end of the line.

In a previous legal dispute, Edward was the defendant, while Lindvall Pharmaceuticals was the plaintiff.

Edward emerged triumphant in the lawsuit, securing a verdict that required the Lindvalls to pay five million dollars in damages.

Despite their legal conflict, Vernon harbored no resentment and had kept Edward's contact information.

Little did Edward expect that their positions would be reversed in their next encounter.

It was evident that Vernon's call was to request leniency for Ronald and Chad. Given Edward's involvement in the case, he had no intention of entertaining such pleas. Thus, he saw no reason to answer the phone.

In response, Vernon courteously acknowledged through Edward's secretary, "I understand. Since Mr. Green is currently busy, I will try to reach him at another time."

Once the call ended, Vernon's expression noticeably soured.

"So, Mr. Lindvall Senior, how did it go?" Frank asked anxiously from across the table.

Realizing his mistake, he quickly gestured to explain, "No, no, it's not what you think. I was under pressure too. Helen insisted on pursuing charges against Ronald and Chad. Despite my attempts to negotiate, she refused to settle. I even faced a complaint because of it."

"Helen?" Rachel mused, searching her memory. "Which family does she come from?"

"I'm not entirely sure," Frank admitted. "All I know is her fiancé is named Chandler Newton. I've done some research on him; he comes from a prestigious background."

At the mention of Chandler's name, Rachel instantly connected the dots.

Indeed, the affluent circle was a close-knit community where everyone was well acquainted. Apart from their shared leisure activities, their interactions frequently involved airing grievances and trading gossip.

The Helen that Frank was referring to must be the young woman from the countryside Priscilla had mentioned.

She seemed to be the one striving to gain a foothold in high society by associating with Chandler and benefiting from his family's prestige.
