Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities

Chapter 36

Having finished their talk, Taylor and Helen started on the food. Taylor had ordered the best dishes on the menu so that Helen would have an enjoyable meal.

They ate in relative silence and left as soon as they were done with the meal.

Helen and Taylor made sure to leave the room separately to avoid their relationship being found out.

Coincidentally, they bumped into Chandler.

As Helen couldn't avoid Chandler, she could only greet him, maintaining her cool all the while. "What a coincidence. You're here for dinner, too?" Chandler had come to discuss a contract with a business associate who preferred the restaurant's cuisine. He didn't expect to meet Helen here "Did you come alone?” he asked.

Helen nodded and said, "I just finished and was about to leave.”

After their brief exchange, Helen continued on her way.

Once she left. Chandler traced her steps and looked into the private room she exited.

He saw that the table had been set for two and his mood soured when he realized Helen had lied. The fact that her lie mattered to him surprised him. After all, what did it have to do with him?

His phone rang, snapping him out of his musings. The call was from his assistant. "Mr. Chandler, they accepted our challenge for a race. But on one condition.” Chandler felt a surge of excitement and didn't bother with the specifics.

"Meet their demands and set a date," he commanded.

"Yes, Mr. Chandler."

Upon returning to school, Helen was called into the math teacher's office.

"How did the competition go? Was it difficult? Do you think you can get an award?" the teacher inquired. Helen responded cautiously, "I think it went alright.”

Her response dashed the teacher's hopes.

With a sigh, the teacher comforted her, "It's okay. You did your best. Head back to class.”

Helen held back from commenting further as she sensed the teacher's disappointment

“Alright, Mr. Ziegler. I'll take my leave now.” she said, leaving the teacher to sigh again.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

His colleagues attempted to console him. "Mr. Ziegler, don't sigh too much. A prodigy like Chandler Newton is rare. Don't take it too hard."

Gerard Ziegter responded, ‘Honestly, Helen hag-great problem- solving. skills and potential. If she ~ underperforms in the competition, it's probably due to a lack ofO experience.” <

Jenson, however, had a vested interest in her performance.

He used his connections to inquire about the competition's difficulty.

"Are you sure about your information?" he pressed for confirmation.

"Relax, Mr. Newton. I've checked. The exam this time was tough. You can rest easy,” his contact reassured. “Really?” Jenson asked again.

"Trust me," the contact affirmed.

With that, Jenson was finally able to relax.
