Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 939

A few years back, Freddie acquired a rare and exceptional raw gemstone. With Austin's support, they launched a jewelry store.

Under the leadership of the Muskham family's successor, the business flourished, swiftly establishing itself as their most profitable enterprise.

Could it be that Helen was scheming to seize control of his store?

Meanwhile, Helen quickly discerned Freddie's thoughts with a single glance.

"Stop guessing. I have no intentions of taking over your store," Helen declared. "But I do want to hire some of your shop's employees. If I win, I get to choose anyone I like from your staff. How does that sound?"

Freddie frowned, puzzled by her proposal. The employees in his store were not particularly outstanding. What was Helen plotting to achieve?

"If you're scared, just admit defeat," Helen taunted.

Freddie fell right into her trap. "I'm not afraid of anything! Let's settle this. I'd even hand over my store without a second thought!"

"Very well. In that case, I'll take your business and everything else!" Helen pressed on, exploiting the moment.

"You—" Freddie hadn't expected Helen to be so brazen. He was momentarily speechless.

But now that he had spoken publicly, Freddie knew he couldn't back down. Failing to follow through wouldn't bode well for the Muskham family's reputation.

Swallowing his anger, he shot back, "Just you wait!"

With those words, Freddie and his group stormed off in frustration.

As they walked away, Laura approached Helen and asked gently, "Ms. Spencer, do you happen to have any experience with gemstone auctions?"

"Not really," Helen replied with a carefree laugh.

She wasn't deceiving anyone; her knowledge of gemstone auctions was only superficial at best.

Upon hearing this, Otto stepped forward and remarked, "Ms. Spencer, if you're willing to speak up, I'd be glad to assist you again."

Helen gave him a sharp glance. "If you want to avoid serious consequences, you'd better keep your distance from me."

…

Time passed swiftly, and before they knew it, the gemstone auction was underway.

While the event was an annual affair, last year's success story of the Chosen One had reignited hope among countless dreamers of overnight riches.

Many returned with renewed determination, aspiring to be the next fortunate individual to ascend to wealth.

At 10:00 am, Helen and Kendrick arrived at the venue.

Approaching the entrance, they were greeted by a dazzling array of raw stones of all shapes and sizes displayed on either side of the hall.

Kendrick's passion for gemstones was instantly ignited; his eyes gleamed with fascination as he surveyed the collection.

It was as if he had stepped into a realm of precious stones, his excitement palpable with every step.
