Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 938

Helen was caught off guard.

"I had no clue you were looking for me," she thought. "If I had known, I would have confronted you sooner and set things straight. You wouldn't be so smug now."

"Mr. Muskham, that's not entirely accurate," Laura interjected sharply, refusing to give Freddie any ground.

"The Chosen One is elusive and may not even be aware of your challenge. In a real competition, perhaps you wouldn't come out on top."

As Helen sensed the protective tone in Laura's words, a subtle, aloof smile formed on her lips.

Meanwhile, Freddie's expression grew stern, his eyes flashing with a hint of menace.

"Cut the nonsense. I don't care who the Chosen One is. This time, the Muskham family has a secret weapon, and no one is going to outshine us!"

"What did you say?" Helen's derisive chuckle cut through the air, her gaze turning icy as her presence commanded the room.

Despite the shift in her demeanor, Freddie remained oblivious, his lecherous gaze still fixed on her.

Helen smirked, her eyes glinting with mischief. "How about we settle this with a little competition?"

Freddie was briefly taken aback. "Are you suggesting we compete in the gemstone auction?"

"Yes, just the two of us," Helen replied, her smile unwavering. "Let's see who can find the finer emerald and whose raw stone commands the higher value."

Otto's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Laura.

"Ms. Spencer," Laura quickly interjected, "please think this through. The Muskham family has extensive expertise in gemstone auctions; you might not be able to compete with him."

Otto clenched his teeth, the veins in his temples bulging with silent fury.

Helen kept a smile on her face. "Deal. But what if I win?"

"If you win, I'll let you do whatever you want with me," Freddie replied, his tone laced with implication.

"Definitely not interested. That's too much for me," Helen replied. After a moment's thought, she continued, "By the way, doesn't the Muskham family own a well-established jewelry store?"

Dardford boasted an abundance of emerald resources.

With their deep roots and substantial influence, the Muskhams effortlessly established a formidable empire in the jewelry industry. Consequently, the majority of jewelry stores in Dardford were affiliated with the Muskham family.
