Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 8

"I—"

Helen felt anxious. She had imagined that someone would discover her true appearance eventually. But Helen did not expect it to happen so soon. What should she do?

Zac stared at her face thoughtfully, thinking about several possibilities.

Was she Helen? Could it be that she had disguised herself? Or was this what she looked like after she changed her disguise?

She was a little uneasy by his gaze but still tried to remain calm. "Mr. Zac, I would like to talk to you."

"Sure."

"Then come in first," Helen opened the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, can I ask you a question first?" Zac put down the clothes and asked.

It was good to get straight to the point. It was easier to talk to intelligent people.

"Are you asking me why I disguise myself?"

Seeing him nod, she smiled slightly. "Because I hate arranged marriages."

"Your purpose is the same as mine."

"Oh?" Helen expressed confusion. An arranged marriage would bring many benefits for the Newtons. She wondered why Zac refused it.

She couldn't understand his thoughts. But it had nothing to do with her.

So, she took advantage of the situation and said, "Can you help me hide my secret? Don't worry. I'll repay you. I'll help you once."

"How can you help me? No one can help me."

He smiled sarcastically, but he still accepted the favor. "Okay, I promise to hide your secret."

"Thanks."

Zac suddenly remembered that he was here to bring clothes to her. Pointing to the clothes on the table, he said, "Be careful next time. It'll be irreversible if others find out. You should change your clothes first. I'll wait for you. Let's go down together."

Helen thanked him again and took the clothes into the room.
