Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 990

"You—" Faye gritted her teeth in fury.

She couldn't believe how Helen dared to bring up that emerald.

It was Helen who had orchestrated the theft of the emerald and she in turn, had been falsely accused of the crime. Now, she had the nerve to use this against her.

Faye cursed inwardly. Helen had managed to convince the Stagville police that she was insane, and to this day, the emerald's whereabouts remained unknown. How could she possibly come up with another one?

"Stop trying to change the subject. We're talking about your situation now. It doesn't matter if you ignore me. You've barely returned, and you're already defying our dad's wishes. Are you trying to be an ungrateful daughter?"

Helen laughed bitterly, "Heh, I'm not the only one defying him. I should actually thank you for setting such a perfect example."

"Enough with the games. Are you going to hand over the Rockefeller emerald or not?" Faye's gaze turned icy.

She had a plan mapped out. If Helen gave up the Rockefeller emerald, she'd be hailed as a hero for the Boston Group, securing a tremendous gain in assets.

But if Helen refused, Faye would use the standoff to drive a deeper wedge between Helen and the Boston family, ensuring Helen would be cut off forever.

No matter how powerful Helen seemed today, Faye was determined to come out on top. This was the price Helen had to pay for consistently thwarting her schemes.

No matter how fortunate Helen might appear, she was ultimately destined to be just another casualty in Faye's relentless pursuit of victory.

At that moment, the massive screen set up in Boston Residence suddenly crackled with static. The sharp, grating noise filled the room before gradually fading away.

Aaron, who had always been on her side, couldn't hide his anger as he fixed a searing glare on her. "You'd better start talking!"

Faye's face cycled through a grim palette of emotions. She nervously swallowed, her eyes darting around as she frantically searched for a way to spin the situation and sway the Boston Group shareholders.

"Dad, this isn't real. Someone's trying to frame me. This is a blatant set-up, meant to discredit me!"

Faye put on a show of righteous indignation. "They deliberately exposed this here to embarrass the Boston family. It's because I've been the one holding the family together and keeping our enemies at bay. They've fabricated this to cause division among us."

Aaron's rage cooled slightly as he listened.

The slideshow was clearly one-sided and dubious, but he knew enough to be aware that Faye's hands weren't exactly clean.
