Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 936

Helen stepped forward, her expression stern. "We all share Cathayan heritage. How can anyone claim to be superior or inferior?"

The women's faces darkened at once.

The event was already tedious, and Helen's blunt comment quickly drew the attention of the other guests, intensifying the women's frustration.

"Why should you be concerned with my words? I didn't single out anyone—what's with the arrogance?"

"Exactly. You're just a troublemaker who thinks you can act recklessly here. This isn't the place for that kind of behavior!"

"Clearly, you've had a lack of discipline and proper upbringing!"

Helen quickly realized she was dealing with a classic case of the villain trying to play the victim. "If it weren't for your self-righteous attitude and blatant discrimination, would I even need to speak out?"

As Helen's words sank in, the guests who had been on the fence now turned their disapproving gazes toward the middle-aged women.

Most attendees at the gemstone auction party in Dardford held significant influence. Hence, they were unaccustomed to being treated so dismissively.

The women's faces flushed with anger, their tempers flaring.

"Stop making baseless accusations. We never said anything like that!"

"That's right. We welcome all guests and would never demean anyone! This lady must be here just to create a disturbance."

"Why did security allow such a person in? Someone, escort this insolent woman out of here right away!"

As the voices of the women grew louder, several bodyguards promptly entered the room.

"Miss, please come with us."

Unfazed, Helen walked past them, glancing scornfully at the smug women.

Helen stood there, her expression stoic. Her eyes hardened as she observed the crowd, a hint of disdain evident in her gaze.

If they dared to challenge her, she wouldn't hesitate to defend herself.

Observing Helen's reluctance to leave, the bodyguards exchanged a glance and braced themselves, ready to resort to physical force.

But just as they were about to approach Helen, a commanding voice boomed through the room.

"Let's see who dares to lay a finger on her."

In that instant, everyone turned to see Otto approaching with a cold and imposing demeanor. He stopped beside Helen, with Laura closely following behind him.

"Mr. Sheridan," Austin said respectfully, "this is a private issue. Please refrain from getting involved."

"Refrain from getting involved?" Otto sneered, his voice cutting through the air. "So, you're trying to remove my girlfriend and expect me to stay out of it? What kind of reasoning is that?"
