Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1269

As Helen's words hung in the air, a brief silence settled over the car.

Helen exhaled, feeling a wave of fatigue wash over her.

Leaning back in the leather seat, she suddenly said, "Mia hasn't done anything wrong. The real fault lies with that man—saying one thing to her face and doing something completely different behind her back. How could he betray someone who trusts him so much?"

Although Helen spoke casually, Chandler felt a deep sense of unease. Despite his intention to be candid, he found his resolve undermined by Helen's remarks. He hadn't realized just how much she cared about such matters.

For the rest of the journey, the three of them sat in silence, each absorbed in their own thoughts.

…

The evening soon arrived.

Helen finished her shower and returned to her room. After logging into her computer, she sent a message to the Instagram account Sadie had provided.

"Ms. Quarto, why did you switch your account? Did your phone get stolen?"

Within two minutes, she received a response.

"Is this Helen Spencer? Sadie mentioned you earlier today. Yes, I accidentally lost my phone and had to set up a new account."

Meanwhile, Sadie was seated at her computer, her heart pounding with anxiety. After hitting the "Send" button, she stared at the screen, eagerly awaiting a response.

It was clear that Helen was acquainted with Seraphina. Sadie wasn't sure if her fake account would be enough to gain Helen's trust.

As Helen read Sadie's overly defensive message, she couldn't suppress a bitter smile.

It was clear that Sadie was nervous about proving her connection to Seraphina. Why else would she bring up her own name in what was supposed to be a private conversation?

"That works."

Shortly after, Sadie sent an address.

As Helen reviewed their exchange, a satisfied gleam appeared in her eyes.

The bait had been set.

…

It was well into the night.

In the faculty housing at the University of Glendale, Edmund was intently sorting through a pile of answer sheets, diligently searching for Helen's.
