Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1151

The front yard was equipped with the most basic rural facilities. Water had to be drawn by hand, and cooking required gathering firewood.

Helen took on the task of fetching water and washing vegetables. "You should go gather some firewood—make sure it's dry and seasoned so the fire starts easily," she instructed Otto.

Leaning against a wooden post, Otto wondered aloud, "Don't you think it would be wonderful if we could just live a quiet, simple life together, without any interruptions?"

Helen kept her eyes on the ground as she responded, "I'm not sure whether it would be wonderful or not, but what I do know is that we're under constant surveillance by at least a dozen cameras right now.

"If you don't get that firewood soon, I might end up starving before we ever get to that peaceful life you're dreaming about."

With his comment falling flat, Otto reluctantly took the assistant director's advice and set out to gather firewood.

Helen filled a basin with water and began washing and preparing the vegetables. She worked efficiently, getting everything ready and awaiting Otto's return with the firewood. Once the fire was lit, the meal would be ready in about ten minutes.

Suddenly, a voice cut through the quiet of the yard.

"Helen!"

Helen and the camera crew turned to see Fiona, who had somehow evaded security and infiltrated the filming set.

"Who is this woman, and how did she get in?" the director, David Engers, asked in confusion.

Aside from David, the rest of the crew mistook Fiona's unexpected appearance for a planned dramatic effect staged by the production team. Intrigued by how it would play out, they chose to observe quietly.

Helen, however, was visibly annoyed. "Do you have to keep harassing me?" she snapped.

She had invested so much effort into preparing for this nationwide live broadcast and was determined not to let it be derailed by this disruptive intruder.

"But I know the truth! You might have managed to take down Faye, but you can't erase your disgraceful past. Today, I'm going to expose who you really are to everyone!"

With a triumphant smile, Fiona brandished a poster she had been holding and turned to face David's camera.

"Pay close attention, everyone! The woman in the red embroidered dress with medium-length hair in this poster is Helen! It seems you've been misled by her partially obscured face.

"She's not a celestial beauty, nor did she aim to stay incognito; she wore a mask simply because she was too embarrassed to reveal her real face!"

Although this surprise development diverged from the show's original plan, it introduced a highly controversial topic—the unveiling of the masked star's true identity.

David quickly decided to press on with the story. The camera honed in on Fiona, zooming in to accentuate Helen's plain appearance.

When Helen first dressed down, even someone as genteel as Chandler couldn't hide his disapproval.
