Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 106

The morning classes were particularly tedious. Usually focused, Ethan found himself distracted for the first time. His gaze drifted toward Helen's seat throughout the lesson.

Lunchtime arrived quickly. Helen packed up her textbooks and notebooks. Jenny and Jasmine approached her, "Helen, let's go to the cafeteria together."

Helen agreed, "Sure! Let me just put away my books."

After storing all her textbooks in the drawer, she followed them to the cafeteria.

As they left the cafeteria after lunch, Jasmine suddenly touched her wrist and exclaimed, "Where's my watch? It's gone!"

Jenny couldn't help but smack her on the head. "You're silly! Didn't you take off your watch and put it in your bag during the last class?"

Jasmine was confused, "Did I? Let's go back and check."

However, the watch was not in her bag when they returned to the classroom.

Jasmine panicked, "I clearly remember putting it in my bag. How could it disappear like that?"

Jenny urged her to calm down and search again.

Helen found the situation peculiar and joined in on the search, "Are you sure you put it in your bag? Could it have dropped in the cafeteria?"

Jasmine shook her head, "No, I didn't even take it out of the classroom."

Helen tried to reassure her, "Don't worry. If you didn't take it out, it must still be in the classroom. Try searching again."

"I can't comprehend how people still steal things these days."

"Having such a person among us is humiliating."

The accusations flew, each more hurtful than the last.

Helen's heart sank. She turned to Jasmine and handed her the watch, "I don't know why your watch was in my bag, but I didn't take it."

Helen's words were deliberate and firm. Holding the watch, Jasmine seemed uncertain.

Jenny was the first to defend Helen, "Helen has been with us the whole time. She wouldn't take our things. Someone must be framing her."
