Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 18

The very next morning, just as Helen woke up, she heard the voice of Jenson. "The Smith family disappeared overnight. It's even on the news!"

Helen chimed in, "They must have felt guilty and ran away."

Jenson was a naive boy. He didn't think much about it and said, "Yeah. What can't my brother handle once he takes action?"

Chandler didn't respond to Jenson. He had asked his assistant to investigate Helen yesterday, but they had found nothing.

Thinking about this, he asked tentatively, "Helen, it seems like you knew about this in advance?"

Helen responded casually, "I just found out too. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had a sleepless night."

With that, she pretended to rub her head.

Chandler noticed she was avoiding the topic, and it seemed suspicious. But he didn't have evidence, so he had to drop the matter.

Back at school, everyone was shocked when they found out that Yvette had been expelled. After this incident, no one dared to trouble Helen anymore.

Helen felt like she was back in her old days as the leader. It was like a duck to water.

As time passed, she started to consider living at school just to avoid the Newton family. But Esmond firmly rejected this idea. "Tyrone and Adrian will be back soon. You should get to know them better."

Helen wasn't enthusiastic about this arranged marriage. She was about to go without dressing up. But Esmond stopped her.

"Helen, I bought you many new clothes. You should dress up a bit before you go. I've also called a makeup artist for you."

She immediately refused, "Mr. Newton Senior, I'll handle it myself. No need to trouble others."

Helen couldn't risk someone touching her face and exposing her disguise. She removed her disguise and then applied a lighter foundation. Thus, she looked brighter than usual.

Her naturally good skin was usually hidden under tanned makeup. With a lighter shade, her beauty became more apparent. She looked more pleasing to the eye now.
