Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 626

Helen understood Charlie's message perfectly. After all, she did have a history with Zac.

Despite Zac and Chandler's brotherly bond, she couldn't overlook what had happened and carried on as if everything was normal while still being in a relationship with Chandler.

Even though she held no responsibility and it contradicted her desires, sometimes fate's choices were incomprehensible, offering no room for reconciliation.

While it might be tough to accept at first, Helen recognized that nobody was truly irreplaceable in this world.

If it was meant to happen, she would need to focus on reshaping her mindset and compel herself to accept reality.

However, before reaching that level of acceptance, certain issues required clarification.

"Did those photos get saved?" Helen asked Charlie.

"Well…" Charlie hesitated, his expression betraying his unease. Suddenly, he quickly caught onto Helen's implication, tentatively asking, "Could it be that you two…?"

However, Helen's subsequent words swiftly extinguished his fleeting hope.

"I'm not entirely sure," Helen responded, her head shaking gently. "As you and Grandma pointed out, none of those photos or videos were taken while I was fully awake. Given that I was unconscious, I couldn't verify if Zac did anything to me."

"I understand where you're coming from," Charlie replied, nodding with a heavy heart. Despite grasping the situation, he couldn't shake off the weight of it.

"It's my fault. My anger got the best of me, clouding my judgment in handling that jerk. I can't believe I overlooked this aspect. And to add to it, I failed to gather any evidence…"

In this scenario, whether any actual intimacy occurred between Zac and Helen appeared to rely entirely on Zac's words.

Nonetheless, coming to terms with the situation wasn't as difficult for Helen. From her perspective, she saw herself as a mere victim in this ordeal.

Even if her innocence was called into question, she firmly believed that the blame and criticism should be aimed at Zac. Consequently, she refused to let this situation erode her self-worth.

Meanwhile, certain unscrupulous individuals sidestepped traditional media channels altogether.

Instead, they chose to release the photos directly through select blogs and social media platforms, aiming to attract attention. Consequently, a wave of online discussions erupted instantaneously.

Chandler's sudden departure upon his return was undoubtedly a reaction to this unfolding crisis.

In the conference room sat an impromptu emergency PR team, their intense deliberations mirroring the urgency to craft the optimal PR strategy with one primary objective—protecting Helen's reputation.

"…Right now, our priority is to redirect public attention. Believe me, if we can find a B-list celebrity to take the brunt, it'll divert a significant portion of the backlash."

"But that's just a temporary fix. Why not directly negotiate with the platforms and demand the removal of relevant content? It might be costly, but it addresses the root cause. We won't have to worry about those comments spreading like wildfire again."

"In my view, we should have the legal department draft a lawyer's letter, targeting those major bloggers who deliberately incite controversy. It's time to establish a precedent!"
