Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 819

"Della, you will need to get married eventually; I won't be able to protect you forever.

"Consider this—the man inside is someone many distinguished women have longed to marry, yet they've never even had the chance to approach him.

"Now, the opportunity is right in front of you. Are you certain you want to let it slip away?

"With Chandler's support, I could have a shot at becoming the head of the Boston family. Our fates are linked as father and daughter; we share our successes and failures.

"In such a crucial moment, we cannot afford to be stubborn."

With Maurice being so explicit, Della realized she had no option but to comply if she didn't want to seem ungrateful.

Swallowing her frustrations, she nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, Dad, I won't let you down."

"That's my girl. It all rests on you now," Maurice said, giving Della a reassuring pat on the shoulder before turning to leave.

"Good luck, Della," Oliver said sarcastically as he walked away.

As Della watched their figures disappear around the corner, she let out a deep sigh before heading back into the house.

Upon entering, she resolved to push her worries aside. She forced a bright smile and tried to walk with a light, lively step.

Yet, as Della stepped inside, she found the once-bustling living room now eerily empty. It felt as though everyone was deliberately avoiding her.

Having been the center of attention throughout her life, Della was unaccustomed to such neglect. At that moment, a lump tightened in her throat, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

But as Della recalled Maurice's words, she knew she had to hold back her tears.

Maurice was right—facing adversity was an inevitable part of life.

If Della could achieve her goals and rise to prominence, these minor setbacks would seem inconsequential.

Unbeknownst to Melody, Della had been expecting this exact response. Once Melody relented, Della walked away with a satisfied smile on her face.

Della had originally thought Chandler was staying here. But after searching around, she discovered that his place was actually located next door.

In light of this situation, staying at Spencer Residence meant Della would have no opportunity to get close to Chandler.

Caught in this dilemma, Della stood hesitantly in the house, unsure of what to do next.

Meanwhile, Helen was on her way out to administer acupuncture treatment to Sylvia. Just as she stepped outside, she unexpectedly bumped into Della.

"What are you doing here?" Helen asked coldly.

Della was momentarily caught off guard. As she turned to meet Helen's gaze, her heart raced once again.

It took a moment for her to gather her thoughts before she replied, "Aunt Melody requested that I pick a room, but it seems all the rooms here are currently occupied."
