Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1288

"It's not the glittering facade but the substance within that truly matters. Likewise, those who seek fame online can hardly be considered real experts. You're the real hidden gem, Helly," Chandler teased.

Helen laughed at his comment and said, "With what you've said, I might just enter the calligraphy competition for the fun of it."

Of course, Helen's motives went beyond mere amusement. She was also intrigued by Sadie's actions—first pretending to be her student and now attempting to claim credit for her unique calligraphy style. Did Sadie really believe Helen was out of the picture?

Noticing the seriousness in her expression, Chandler couldn't help but call out, "Helly."

"Yes?" Helen replied, her eyes fixed on the competition form she was filling out. "What's the matter?"

Chandler hesitated, struggling to find the courage to voice his thoughts. "It's nothing. I'll put some water on for you so you can enjoy a nice, hot shower."

"Sounds good," Helen replied, nodding in agreement.

After lingering for a moment, Chandler turned and headed toward the bathroom.

As soon as Dylan entered the Glendale Calligraphy Association office, he received a call from Adam Lescher, the association's president.

"Hey Dylan, is that calligraphy piece genuinely the work of your student?" Adam asked.

"Yes, it is," Dylan answered, his face brimming with pride. "Why do you ask?"

"Don't you find the style a bit familiar?"

Madelyn froze at Helen's question. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to come clean. "I'm really sorry, Helen. I gave the badge to Mason because he was interested in the Calligraphy Association. I didn't want to see him discouraged, so I lent it to him. If this is a problem, I can get it back for you right away."

Even though Madelyn had given the badge to Mason, it somehow ended up with Sadie. How had she not realized this?

After considering the situation for a moment, Helen smiled and said, "It's fine. I don't really like wearing it anyway."

She decided to let the matter drop and didn't bring it up again.

Despite Helen's reassurance, Madelyn still felt uneasy. Helen had always been her most supportive friend, and the thought of letting her down weighed heavily on her.

As soon as Helen left the dormitory, Madelyn quickly set up a meeting with Mason.
