Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 978

Helen gave a courteous smile to the senior associate and made her way to the curtain-draped entrance. Just as she approached the counter, the curtain was suddenly yanked aside.

A woman with short blonde hair, striking blue eyes, and a warm, radiant complexion appeared. Despite her slender frame, she stood surprisingly tall. She appeared to have a mixed ancestry.

"There's no need for all this commotion. I'm right here," the woman said coldly.

Helen's face grew serious, and a frown settled on her features.

"Winona Tisburt, why are you just hanging around instead of helping with the unloading? Just look at what you're wearing—you'll drive our customers away! Get back inside and start working!" The young associate voiced her frustration, reprimanding the woman sharply.

"Winona Tisburt?" Helen echoed, her interest piqued.

"Yes, she's the only person with the Tisburt last name, but she isn't a designer. I'm not sure if she's who you're looking for," the senior associate said courteously.

"She is," Helen replied, breathing a sigh of relief.

Despite being frequently labeled a tomboy, Winona was actually Snow Tisburt, a talented jewelry designer.

Although Helen hadn't known Snow for long, her mentor was the renowned jewelry designer Lina Tisburt. Helen had briefly crossed paths with Lina during her fashion design studies.

Since losing touch with Lina, Helen hadn't had the opportunity to see Snow, who had been raised by Lina.

"Coming here to find you was the right choice," Helen said with a smile as she looked at Snow. "Let's get out of here. Dardford isn't where you belong."

Snow stood motionless, her face a mask of indifference. "Thank you for your concern, but I won't leave until I find Ms. Lina."

"Can't you reconsider?" Helen's voice was edged with frustration, her eyes betraying a whirlwind of emotions. "What if you never find her?"

"No way!" Snow's previously indifferent gaze turned fiery as she glared at Helen, her fists clenched. "Ms. Lina will return! I refuse to leave. This is the national hub for emeralds; I'm confident she'll come back eventually!"

Snow immediately fired back, "Then why did you tie me up? Who gave you the right to meddle in my life? I chose to stay in Dardford on my own, so what makes you think you have the authority to interfere?"

"If you don't stop arguing, I'll take you out right now, and you'll never see your mentor again!" Helen threatened, pointing a finger at Snow's nose.

"I can't stand people like you who just sit around waiting, thinking the world revolves around them. Sure, it would be nice if Ms. Lina came back for you, but what if she's in danger? How will she find you then? As a ghost, perhaps?"

"What do you mean? Did something happen to Ms. Lina? It has to be! Tell me what's going on!" Snow seized Helen's hand, her emotions boiling over.

"Quiet!" Helen snapped.

To her surprise, Snow fell silent.

"In the past two years, there's been a pattern of physicists disappearing across the country, and Ms. Lina's second husband is on that list. I have a feeling she might be missing too."
