Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 549

"With that, the night ends. Thank you all for coming, and I hope to see you again soon!"

Helen lifted her skirt in a simple curtsy and swiftly exited the stage. In Phishie's dressing room, she changed her outfit and removed her mask. Just as Helen hid the mask, the curtain was flung open.

Callie stood there, surprised. She was shocked to see Helen. "Helen? What are you doing here?"

Her gaze swept the dressing room. That was strange. She had seen H come this way. Yet, she was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm waiting here for Phishie. She's the host," Helen replied calmly.

Callie found Helen odd, so she asked skeptically, "Has anyone else been here?"

But Helen continued to feign ignorance. "Well, does Phishie count?"

Disappointed, Callie realized she must have been mistaken. "Never mind. You wait here then. I'll head back."

As Callie turned to leave, Phishie came bounding excitedly toward the room. "Helen, Helen! You were amazing!"

Phishie collided head-on with Callie. Unprepared for Callie's presence beside her idol, Phisie fell silent. She feared exposing Helen's secret. However, Helen's frantic signals to Phishie were futile.

Callie, ever astute, surveyed them shrewdly before zeroing in on Helen. "You're H, aren't you?"

Some adored passionately, while others cherished quietly. Callie was the latter.

H's lyrics had accompanied every milestone of her life. They were sacred to her, never outwardly mentioned, but rather selfishly preserved.

The moment the masked woman sang on stage, Callie recognized her. She desperately tried to rush backstage, but the security was too strict.

Helen was only the closest resemblance to H so far. Callie assumed she had gotten carried away. H was an almost godlike figure, aloof and unreachable. How could she appear here so easily?

Phishie seized the moment, and leaped onto Callie's back, hanging on her neck.

"You're so sharp! You caught on right away! It's uncanny, isn't it? That's why I begged Helen to come and perform for me. God knows how many out there thought that H was here at the University of Glendale!"

Callie chuckled awkwardly, feeling inwardly resigned. "Oh, thank you so much for giving so many people false hope!"

Helen remained nonchalant as if nothing could ruffle her unshakable calm.

Phishie thought to herself, "I should learn to cultivate such inner peace from Helen."
