Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1931

Helen had a feeling that Colin would be the breakthrough point. This tug-of-war had dragged on long enough, and she couldn't wait to break through the bottleneck and get a resolution.

Chandler couldn't convince her otherwise and reluctantly compromised. "Fine, but stay in touch at all times."

"Okay." She hung up the phone after speaking.

Abigail, who had overheard part of the conversation, became more cautious. "So now, just going to see a magic show is life-threatening?"

Helen smiled faintly. "With you around, it's hard to say who's in danger."

The car quickly stopped by the roadside, and Abigail linked arms with Helen as they walked into the stadium. Reggie and James didn't have tickets, so they had to wait outside.

After the audience entered, the show began.

The performance, featuring a world-class magician and an expensive stage, was enchanting, earning rounds of applause.

Abigail knew it was all an illusion, but she still enjoyed the show.

Helen, however, was distracted. She kept scanning the surroundings subtly, but she couldn't spot Colin. As she kept looking around, the magician's performance neared its end.

Suddenly, an anxious shout came from behind.

"Fire! Run!"

Panic spread through the crowd as people surged toward the exits.

Helen found herself surrounded by a dozen people and unable to move. But unlike Abigail, she noticed that the people around her weren't trying to escape. She observed closely and realized that some of them were even smiling.

Their goal was to trap her in place.

Helen could easily break free but also understood the principle of "nothing ventured, nothing gained". So, she pretended to panic but remained alert.

In that moment of distraction, she heard the sound of steel snapping. Looking up, she saw a beam above her falling directly toward her.

Although it happened instantly, she could clearly see that both ends of the beam were neatly cut, indicating that it had been deliberately severed.

Just as she was about to dodge, she spotted Colin running toward her through the crowd.
