Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1523

Adrian made his way to the bar, grabbed a glass of champagne, and downed it in one gulp. The moment Jenson mentioned Chandler's name, Adrian immediately understood the situation.

Though they were brothers, he couldn't shake the feeling that Helen deserved so much more.

She had countless admirers, yet she had steadfastly chosen Chandler. Just three months after her departure, he was actively trying to connect with other women.

This thought stirred a deep discomfort within Adrian, igniting his obsessive tendencies; the idea of anyone being emotionally unfaithful was intolerable to him.

His compulsion had only grown stronger since Ursula returned to the country. Now, whenever he encountered such a situation, his body reacted as if it were having an allergic response, entirely out of his control.

"Mr. Adrian," a crisp, melodious voice called out nearby.

Adrian took a deep breath to steady himself. As he turned and saw "Kaylee" walking toward him, his smile vanished.

Helen approached him, raising her glass in a distant toast. "Thank you both for your help last time. By the way, is Mr. Chandler here?"

Adrian turned away, irritation showing on his face. "Are you thanking me or my brother? I'm here for work, not to act on his behalf."

Helen raised an eyebrow, taken aback. It had been a while since she'd heard him speak so bluntly, and she found herself a bit unaccustomed to his tone.

"And just so you know, Chandler has been married for quite some time. Our family only recognizes Helen as our sister-in-law, so I hope you don't waste your efforts on certain matters," Adrian warned.

Helen couldn't help but smile at his protectiveness. While she valued his support, she secretly wished the Newton family would forget about her sooner rather than later.

If the Newtons could overlook her existence, she wouldn't have to contend with the Whitlock family and the influences behind them.

Nevertheless, she understood that this would be a long and challenging journey, and there was no need to hurry.

Meanwhile, Claude sat on the stage, graciously accepting a tribute from Niall Haywell, the eldest son of the Haywell family.

After a brief hug, Niall presented an exquisite gift box to Claude. "Dad, I wish you a long life and endless joy."

"Thank you, son," Claude replied with a slight nod, casually setting the gift aside.

At that moment, Helen approached. Seeing that Niall had finished his formalities, she lifted her skirt slightly and stepped forward.

"Good day, Uncle Niall," she greeted respectfully, her smile warm and inviting.

However, Niall stood there unresponsive, seemingly oblivious to her presence.
