Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1541

"Katie, listen to me…" Diana quickly chased after Katie and comforted her.

Once Diana and Katie left, only Helen and Abraham remained in the living room. Helen ignored Abraham, went into the kitchen to get a piece of brownie, and sat down at the dining table to eat it leisurely.

Graham hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat on the chair beside her. After a while, seeing that she didn't react, he could no longer sit still.

He leaned over, rested one hand on the table and another on the back of Helen's chair, and started to make an emotional appeal. "Kaylee, there are only two of us here, so I'll get straight to the point.

"My friend and I found a good investment opportunity, but we're short on startup capital. I'd like to use your property deed to secure a loan. It won't be much trouble for you—just a matter of signing your name for me. How about that?"

Helen put down the spoon in her hand and turned to look at him expressionlessly. "Not much trouble? My dear father, you make it sound so easy. Using my property as collateral for your investment?

"If something goes wrong, not only could we not get the money back, but the only house left by Mom would also be forcibly taken and auctioned by the bank. Do you think I'll become foolish after getting pregnant?"

"Why would I think that about you? It's mainly because the investment was introduced by an acquaintance. It's guaranteed, and it's a sure way to make a profit. We shouldn't let money slip through our fingers, right?" Abraham said with a grin, not angry at all.

"Scammers love to con acquaintances the most. I don't think you need to risk your entire fortune on your first business venture." Helen didn't want to get into a fuss with him.

"Others get scammed because they are not close enough, but I've known this friend for decades. The trust is there, and he won't scam me.

"This project is really promising, and I don't want to miss this chance. Kaylee, you'll help me, right?" Abraham carefully observed her reaction.

Helen wore a sarcastic look. "Haven't you always looked down on businessmen, thinking that they are money-oriented and greedy? Why are you so determined to dive into the business world now?"

A new product launch event of Adrian's clothing brand was going on in the Glendale Fashion Center. The models showcased Adrian's designs brilliantly on stage.

After the runway show, numerous big players in the industry reached out to Adrian with collaboration opportunities. He skillfully attended to every guest and remained composed during media interviews.

The entire launch event was live-streamed and created a buzz in the industry. Terms related to Adrian's name reached the top three in fashion trending searches.

Adrian finally had a chance to take a break when the party began. He stood in a corner with a glass of champagne in his hand, quietly observing the arriving guests.

Even though he intentionally hid beside the lavishly decorated fir tree, his sophisticated demeanor still shone through.

"Adrian." The voice he was looking for suddenly rang out behind him. He turned and saw Ursula.
