Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1262

Laura's concern deepened as she watched Graham's reaction.

What could be so urgent?

Without delay, she pulled out her phone and clicked on the link Chandler had sent.

Her expression mirrored Graham's as she saw the page, her face going pale with astonishment.

"What on earth? Is this the 'very important' issue you were talking about?" Laura asked with an exasperated look, turning the screen around to reveal the voting page.

"Isn't it important?" Chandler replied, lounging on the sofa with a casual shrug. "If Helen isn't the winner, who could possibly be?"

Laura and Graham were left at a loss for words.

…

The weekend soon arrived.

While sorting through her bag, Helen discovered the two tickets Jacob had given her. She decided to invite Tonya to accompany her to the art exhibition.

The exhibition took place at the Science and Technology Museum. Unlike solo shows, this event highlighted works from contemporary local artists, displaying their most acclaimed pieces.

Rather than focusing on the artists' backgrounds, the exhibition centered on the vitality and essence of the artworks.

It was renowned as a launching pad for emerging artists, and having a piece showcased there was considered a sign of a promising future.

Helen and Tonya had planned a brief visit, but they were astonished to discover Helen's painting, "Spring's Embrace", prominently displayed in the most crowded section of the exhibition.

Seeing Helen stop in her tracks, Tonya asked curiously, "Helen, do you like it? Would you like me to buy it for you?"

"I had a feeling you wouldn't hold it against him," Paul replied, his voice tinged with sadness. "It's Benjamin who seems unable to move on…"

"Whether he chooses to let go is up to him. It's out of our hands, so don't blame yourself," Helen said before ending the call.

As she turned to find Tonya, she noticed a group of attendees gathered around a watercolor painting, engrossed in conversation. Intrigued, she paused to listen.

"The layers of mist, the tranquil, stratified mountains, and the faint figures merging with the landscape all convey a subtle elegance."

"What a mesmerizing and otherworldly scene, and what a stunning watercolor painting!"

"The brushwork truly brings the scene to life; with just a few strokes, the artist creates a vision of paradise. Even with a limited color palette, the contrast between the mountains and the water imparts a feeling of grace and nobility!"

"Indeed, the younger generation is outshining the older. This artist clearly has remarkable talent and is sure to become a key figure in the world of watercolor painting."
