Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1254

As the conversation wrapped up, Chandler approached from a distance.

"What are you discussing?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Nothing important!" Helen responded quickly. "We were just talking about the exam."

Chandler's eyes narrowed slightly; he could sense that Helen wasn't being entirely truthful.

"So, how did the exam turn out?" he asked, trying to sound casual.

"It went as expected," Helen said. "I'm done here, so let's get going."

Concerned that Tommy and Bentley might say something inappropriate in front of Chandler, Helen quickly left, with Chandler closely following her.

Once they were in the car, Chandler handed Helen a document.

"Just as you suspected, Lester Conway and Mona Horton aren't cousins; they're actually a couple. After Mona was diagnosed with cancer, they went their separate ways for five years.

"During that time, Lester didn't pursue any new relationships. It was only when he read about Mona's food poisoning online that he decided to visit her in the hospital," Chandler explained.

"They sound like a pair of star-crossed lovers," Helen remarked, her expression remaining neutral.

"Yes," Chandler agreed, his gaze meeting hers. His dark eyes reflected complex emotions, leaving his thoughts shrouded in ambiguity.

"Let's speak with Lester privately first," Helen insisted firmly.

She then shifted her tone, adding, "While hard work can indeed yield results, not everyone has the chance to make that effort. Wouldn't you agree, Chef Conway?"

"I'm not sure I understand what you're implying, madam," Lester replied, meeting her gaze with a look of confusion.

Although Lester recognized Chandler and Helen and had a hunch that they might have a hidden agenda, he was aware that his expertise was confined to the culinary field, making him uncertain about their true motives.

"Didn't Mona's mother tell you that we can cure her illness?" Helen asked bluntly.

Lester's expression shifted dramatically at her words. His weary eyes brightened with hope, though he quickly tried to conceal his excitement.

With a trace of doubt, he replied, "Mona's mother never mentioned that. Please don't try to deceive me."
