Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1526

Helen suppressed a smile, recognizing that Niall had cleverly turned Diego's tactics back on him. Kaylee's uncle was proving to be quite an intriguing character.

Unable to keep his composure, Diego pushed himself up, brushing off those who tried to help him.

Shedding his facade, he snapped, "I just brushed against her; she's still in one piece, isn't she? Mr. Haywell, is this how you respond to something so trivial? This young lady must be quite revered around here!"

Helen shot back, "Let's flip this. My uncle kicked you once, and you didn't lose any limbs. We're even, so what's the fuss about?"

As she finished, Niall raised a hand to shield her, urging her to step back and take a breath.

"Well, Kaylee is my only niece, so of course she's precious. Do you have any objections, Mr. Martinez?" Niall asked with a smirk, his gaze fixed on him.

"Whatever. She's just a woman who will eventually get married. Mr. Haywell, I advise you not to let a trivial matter cloud your judgment and make a serious mistake!" Diego sneered, trying to reclaim his dignity.

Niall's smile grew even wider. "Are you attempting to threaten me, Mr. Martinez?"

"Well, it's not exactly a threat. But if Martinez Group withdraws its investment from Haywell Group, I'm sure you'll encounter significant losses. It would be wise to think twice before making any decisions!" Diego leaned casually to one side, a smug grin on his face, convinced he held the upper hand.

Niall smiled in response before turning to the crowd. "Did everyone catch that? Mr. Martinez just offered to withdraw from collaborating with my family. To prevent any future misunderstandings, anyone interested in this opportunity is welcome to step forward and discuss it with me."

Diego's expression fell, panic washing over him.

What did this mean? Was Niall serious?

"Mr. Haywell, I've been waiting for this opportunity for so long; you have to give it to me!"

"Mr. Haywell," the man said, forcing a smile as he pleaded for leniency, "please do me a favor and let Mr. Martinez off this time. He'll apologize to your niece."

A mischievous grin spread across Niall's face. "That's right; I almost forgot about you. Since you're so eager to clean up after others, how about you join Mr. Martinez in ending the partnership with Haywell Group?"

"Wha—" The man's voice quivered in fear as he clutched Niall's arm. "No, Mr. Haywell, I'm innocent! Please, just hear me out, I—"

Niall impatiently swatted the man's hand away. "How annoying. If you keep following me, it won't just be about terminating the contract!"

With that, Niall stepped out of the crowd, exuding an air of nonchalance.

"Uncle Niall!" Helen called as she hurried to catch up with him. "Thanks for intervening back there!"
