Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1038

Standing outside the door, Fiona's face set into a cold smirk.

"Helen, be grateful. Your life is about to take a turn for the worse," she said under her breath.

After a brief moment, Fiona headed downstairs.

Once the door closed behind her, Helen's face grew serious.

Before entering the bathroom, she checked to ensure there was no sound outside. After turning on the faucet, she meticulously inspected every corner of the room.

Given Fiona's willingness to ruin her birthday cake to lure her here, there had to be something suspicious going on.

But after a thorough search, Helen found nothing out of the ordinary.

There were no hidden cameras, no one lurking in the shadows, and nothing of value or fragility in the room.

Helen stood beside the couch, frustration etched on her face. What could she have missed?

She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. The air was filled with a subtle, sweet fragrance, reminiscent of jasmine.

Just then, the doorknob began to turn.

As Helen glanced over, the door creaked open to reveal Otto on the other side.

"What are you doing here?" Helen asked in surprise, recognizing him as "Chandler".

Otto shut the door behind him and looked at her with an innocent expression. "Haven't I been here the whole time?"

Before Helen could respond, the figure she recognized as "Chandler" shifted back to Otto.

Helen quickly raised a hand to stop him. "Stay where you are."

Helen immediately slammed the door shut, unfastened her belt, and removed all the silver needles it held. After stripping off her clothes, she began administering acupuncture to herself.

Outside the door, Otto's worry grew. He narrowed his eyes, trying to understand what was going on.

Something was definitely wrong with the room.

As he considered the situation, his eyes clouded with concern. He swiftly gathered his thoughts and began analyzing the scenario.

Given Helen's sharp mind, she would have been wary of a direct poisoning attempt. If it wasn't in her food or drink, then the only remaining option was that the poison was in the air.

The pleasant scent in the room indicated the use of an air diffuser.

Otto quickly searched the room and discovered an electronic scent diffuser plugged into an outlet beside the TV stand.

He unplugged it and carefully examined it in his hand.
