Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 725

"Thank you," Chandler replied, taking the card.

"I won't take up any more of your time. I have other matters to attend to. I'll be on my way now," Edgar remarked.

Having accomplished his goal, he departed with a sense of satisfaction.

Observing Edgar's purposeful stride, Helen turned to Chandler and whispered, "A billion dollars is quite a generous offer."

"It wouldn't last a day in the stock market," Chandler quipped, sliding the card into his pocket.

"Let's go."

Together, Helen and Chandler made their way toward Newton Group's office building.

Inside the elevator, Helen instinctively reached for the button to the top floor. Unexpectedly, Chandler intervened, pressing the button for the floor just below.

"Aren't we heading to your office to crunch the numbers?" Helen asked.

"You'll find out soon," Chandler replied with a faint smile. He firmly grasped Helen's hand as they stood side by side.

Exiting the elevator, Helen walked with determined steps.

Whenever she had visited Chandler's office previously, her destination had always been the top floor. Unfamiliar with the layout of the other floors, she now felt a twinge of curiosity.

Helen had imagined it as a kind of hidden paradise. However, upon entering the office area, she was greeted instead by rows of computers and tech-savvy individuals.

Their arrival went unnoticed by most of the staff. The few who did notice simply glanced at them indifferently, showing no interest in greeting them.

Undeterred, Chandler confidently guided Helen through the bustling office, skillfully navigating their way to the innermost secluded room.

Inside, Helen's attention was drawn to a workstation equipped with notably advanced hardware. A figure sat diligently working at the desk, their features hidden behind the screen.

What other reasoning could she muster? After all, Chandler was her fiancé—men often had to withstand more pressure, didn't they?

"Is that right?" Derek eyed Chandler skeptically. Helen's explanation seemed a bit far-fetched.

Chandler smiled faintly in response. "Yes, I did talk about you to her. After all, there shouldn't be secrets between a man and his future wife. You'll understand when you have a girlfriend."

"Thanks for the advice, but I'll pass," Derek said, rolling his eyes dismissively.

"Huh?" Helen's curiosity was instantly piqued. "You're not looking to have a girlfriend? So, are the rumors true? Do you like men?"

Helen's thoughts raced as she carefully scrutinized Derek from head to toe.

She sighed softly, her gaze lingering on Derek as he shook his head in confusion.
