Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 730

"You better be absolutely sure about what you're saying," Priscilla warned Chandler firmly. Although she wasn't surprised by Chandler's response, she was resolute in giving him one last chance.

"I couldn't be more certain," Chandler replied calmly, meeting Priscilla's gaze. "Mom, we won't be seeing much of each other from now on. Please take care. And Dad, the same goes for you."

With that, Chandler turned toward the group of relatives and wondered aloud, "Would anyone care to speculate? When news breaks tomorrow about my departure from the Newton family, how much do you think the stocks will drop at the market's opening?"

He glanced around the room with a meaningful gaze before quietly informing Helen, "I'm taking you with me."

As Helen looked over the assembled guests, her eyes betrayed a mixture of sympathy for their predicament and exasperation at their lack of resolve.

She broke her silence with her first words of the day. "Soon enough, you'll understand the magnitude of today's loss—two incredibly valuable blue-chip stocks."

Amidst the sorrowful glances from the crowd, Chandler and Helen tightly clasped each other's hands and made their way toward the door.

"Chandler!" Jenson couldn't hold back any longer and hurried over to join them. "I'm coming with you!"

He had witnessed enough of the duplicity and calculating faces in the room.

Chandler gave Jenson's shoulder a comforting pat and spoke solemnly, "You should remain at home and take care of Mom and Dad."

"But—" Jenson began, trying to argue his case. However, Chandler's firm gaze silenced him, and he reluctantly conceded, "Okay."

With a final glance at Louis, Chandler walked away without turning back.

Following their departure, the Newton family's predicament plunged further into turmoil.

Without Chandler, their primary revenue generator, Newton Group now appeared as an empty shell.

As news spread, it was anticipated that Newton Group would experience complete financial devastation in the stock market.

Amid the turmoil, many were scrambling to find solutions, while some were starting to regret their entanglement in the day's factional conflicts.

"I see." Charlie nodded calmly, unruffled by the request. "It's always handy to have some cash when you're on your own," he observed thoughtfully.

"No, that's not it." Melody hastily waved her hands as she clarified, "This money isn't for me. I… I want to have a paternity test done!"

The Spencers had always treated Melody well, and she wanted to be transparent with them.

"Oh? What kind of test?" Charlie asked out of curiosity.

Sensing his question might be too direct, he swiftly corrected himself, saying, "If this is sensitive, you don't have to explain. I'll get you a bank card later, and you can withdraw the money."

"No, it's not private," Melody replied with newfound resolve.

Taking a deep breath, she explained earnestly, "I want to have a paternity test done for Helen and me."

"Wait, are you saying Helen is your daughter?" Charlie asked, his expression registering surprise.
