Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 991

In truth, Aaron found himself secretly hoping the accusations would be confirmed.

But, as Faye's sordid behavior was laid bare for everyone to see, none of the Boston family's old fogies stepped up to speak out.

It was evident that Faye's influence within the company was deeper and more tangled than he had imagined. Bringing her down wouldn't be a simple or quick task.

"Let's hold off on this for now," Aaron said through clenched teeth. "I'll have an investigation launched. But first, you need to explain where that recent one hundred million dollars went."

"No need to wait," Helen interjected before Faye could speak. "Whether it's true or false, someone will investigate it."

She turned to the crowd of guests and called out, "Captain Whitmore, I know you're here. Please come forward."

At Helen's words, a burly man at the back of the crowd, holding a cocktail glass, shouldered his way through and approached.

"Who told you I'm here?" Larry snapped, his irritation palpable.

He'd used someone else's ID and invitation, so how had this "murderer" managed to track him down?

Helen met his annoyance with a bright, almost mocking smile. "Such a perfect chance to see me in action. I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss it, Captain Whitmore."

Larry let out a long sigh. "Fine, I'll look into it. If these accusations hold any truth, no one's getting off the hook."

He paused, then added with a pointed look, "And I'm not just talking about today's incident."

"Of course, breaking the law doesn't spare anyone, not even royalty," Helen shrugged with a grin.

Larry corrected her, "Actually, the saying is 'nobility,' not 'royalty.'"

Helen's face hardened into a mask of cold detachment. "You don't need to worry about that. There are more than enough people ready to deal with her. I've lost interest."

Aaron's shoulders slumped as he let out a heavy sigh. The rift between him and Helen felt like a chasm that might never close.

Helen moved to the side table. She picked up a slender spoon and tapped it lightly against her champagne glass, creating a sharp, clear chime that cut through the murmur of the guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Helen announced, "I have some thrilling news that I can't wait to share with you all."

"As you may know, I've been living abroad for years, somewhat out of touch with the goings-on of the Boston family. But now that I'm back, I've had a moment of revelation.

"I see the challenges that my father and Faye have been grappling with. So, starting today, I, Helen Spencer, will officially join the Boston Group as a member of the team, committed to easing their burdens and contributing to the company's success."
