Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1334

After a long silence, Tyrone finally broke the tension.

"It seems you thought I was joking earlier. I'm afraid your good days are over, Scott."

"Fine, bring it on tonight. I'm curious to see what you think you can do to me," Scott shot back, completely unfazed.

He had already figured out that Tyrone was interested in Mia. As long as he stayed close to her, he knew he had a safety net.

Meanwhile, Tyrone was oblivious to Scott's thoughts; his only focus was on ruining Scott's reputation. After a brief standoff, he pulled out his phone. Dialing a number, he turned and walked away.

…

A week passed, and Augustine still hadn't received any updates about the calligraphy Helen had created that day in the square.

The staff he spoke with over the phone were evasive and unhelpful, prompting him to visit the VIP Collection Room in person.

Upon arriving, Augustine found a staff member dozing off at his desk. He tapped his knuckles on the surface, jolting the staff member awake.

"Mr. Crawford!" The staff member shot up, quickly apologizing, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to slack off; I've just been really tired. I promise it won't happen again!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably be fast asleep too," Augustine said, waving his hand dismissively.

He got straight to the point, asking, "Why hasn't the piece I sent over last week been added to the collection yet?"

"Are you referring to Helen's calligraphy, Mr. Crawford?" the staff member asked.

"Is there anyone else bold enough to submit their work to the VIP collection?" Augustine shot back.

"That's a fair point," the staff member replied with an awkward smile. "In my six months here, this is the first time I've actually received a VIP item."

"So, why hasn't it been added to the inventory yet?" Augustine pressed, his focus unwavering.

"Alright, I understand. Just make sure to keep her work safe for now," Augustine instructed.

He was mindful of his ongoing issues with Dylan and didn't want to put the staff member in an awkward position.

With that in mind, he decided to let the matter rest for now.

Upon leaving the museum, Augustine promptly shared a photo he had taken of Helen's calligraphy in the association's senior member group chat.

He posted the image without any explanation, maintaining an air of quiet pride. Within half a minute, the group erupted with messages.

"Augustine, is this your new work? Wow, that's impressive skill!"

"Come on, we all know Augustine's style; he couldn't produce something like this. Who's the real artist behind it?"

"Hey Augustine, stop lurking and chime in already!"
