Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 962

"Mr. Sheridan, you're in bad shape. I'll call a doctor right away!" Laura said, her expression shifting to one of concern.

"It's fine," Otto replied, shaking his head. "Let's go inside first. Later, contact Carles and have him bring a doctor when he comes to pick me up. Keep it discreet; we don't want anyone noticing."

Laura frowned but chose not to question his decision. "Okay," she replied with a nod. She then quickly opened the door to let him in.

Noting her anxious demeanor, Otto offered a wry smile. "It seems you only remember I'm the boss when there's a crisis."

Laura's expression remained stern, unable to break into a smile. "Please, be serious. This isn't the time for jokes."

Otto shrugged. "Alright, fine. But could you at least cut me some slack and stop with the constant lecturing?"

…

After ending the call with Chandler, Helen continued to brood over her thoughts.

What exactly were her feelings for Otto? It seemed impossible to be in love with two people at the same time.

She trusted her loyalty, but she couldn't grasp why Otto had so effortlessly woven himself into her thoughts.

Although she didn't love him, she couldn't entirely dismiss him. What on earth was going on?

In a daze, she wandered back to her bedroom. When she glanced at the wall clock, she suddenly gasped, "Oh no, it's already 11:00 am!"

It was the last day of the gemstone auction, and they hadn't selected a single raw stone yet. If she didn't act quickly, it would be too late.

It was Otto's fault for keeping her up so late. She'd better not see him that day; otherwise, she'd make him pay.

…

Still catching her breath from the run, Helen waved her hand and said, "Give me a moment. I've been so exhausted lately that I ended up oversleeping. But we still have plenty of time—let's go select some raw stones."

As they walked inside, the commotion grew even louder.

"That's the fourth one!"

"With four top-quality rough stones already in his collection, Freddie's victory seems inevitable. The remaining stones are unlikely to present any surprises—he's definitely won!"

"It looks like that woman didn't show up. Perhaps she's too intimidated to make an appearance."

Helen shot a dismissive look toward the stone-cutting area and noticed Freddie basking in the crowd's admiration, with a woman standing quietly beside him.

Helen immediately recognized her as Sabrina Colbeck, the same woman she had met the previous day.
