Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 256

Her words rendered Benjamin speechless. Indeed, although Mariah had released many albums and written many new songs afterward, none could surpass this one.

Even so, he retorted, "Not every song can be a classic. It's already hard to get one signature song in a lifetime."

Helen knew that Benjamin always believed in Mariah without reason. She didn't dwell on it too much, but she found his words somewhat disturbing. "Is it possible that her only signature work was plagiarized?"

This time, he chose to remain silent upon hearing this.

Memories resurfaced in his mind and surged like a tide. Benjamin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt powerless no matter what he said. "Mariah has great musical talent. She wouldn't do such a thing."

Helen raised her gaze and looked at Mariah, who was smiling sweetly on stage. She used to believe this too, but humans often have moments of misjudgements.

"I'm leaving." With that, she turned and left.

As Benjamin watched her retreating figure, he murmured, "Even though I know what you said is true, it doesn't change anything. I'm sorry, Hannah!"

Then, he withdrew his gaze and walked toward the backstage.

After Mariah finished singing, she got changed and hurried over to Benjamin. "How was it? Was my singing okay just now?"

Benjamin looked at her and contemplated for a moment before saying, "Hannah was here."

"If you want to know, go ask her yourself. I'm going back now," he said.

Mariah quickly stopped him. "Don't leave yet. My event isn't over. Later…"

However, Benjamin didn't respond and simply left quickly.

She stood there and bit her lower lip tightly. The tenderness in her eyes disappeared completely and she wore a gloomy expression.

Mariah took out her phone and made a call. "Help me look into someone. I want all the information available on her now."
