Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities

Chapter 27

Tyrone: "Let's hear it then, what's this about the power of justice?"

Jenson was quite smug as he shared the details of his bet with Helen in the group chat.

"My brothers, just wait for me to wave the victory flag. Then, we'll celebrate big time."

Chandler felt his phone buzzing non-stop. He put down the documents he was holding and unlocked his phone.

He saw Jenson's message as soon as he opened the group chat. Curious, he scrolled through the chat history.

His finger paused on the screen when he saw the mention of a bet.

A bet?

It seemed like an outcome clear to any discerning eye.

Yet, Chandler unexpectedly found himself hoping that Helen wouldn't lose. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

This bet suddenly became interesting.

When school ended in the afternoon, Tyrone picked up Helen. As Tyrone was an idol, he remained heavily disguised.

On the way back, Tyrone couldn't help but ask, "You really took up Jenson's bet, huh?"

Helen wasn't surprised Tyrone knew about the bet. She hummed in acknowledgment as a subtle response to his question.

As Tyrone saw Helen's calm demeanor, he felt compelled to remind her, "I'm not trying to scare you, but everyone in that Math Olympiad is insanely talented. Even Chandler barely managed to win first place with his skills."

Chandler was like a god to them.

Winning first place was expected for someone like him.

Helen, on the other hand, was in a completely different league.

From Tyrone's perspective, Helen's bet with Jenson was a guaranteed loss.

But Helen caught the key point in his words.

"Are you saying Chandler also competed in the Math Olympiad?"

Tyrone noticed Helen's interest in Chandler and subconsciously warned her, "Don't get any ideas about my brother. He's not into your type."

Helen was bewildered. Did she ever say that she liked Chandler? It was just an innocent question.

"My brother is incredible. He was the city's top scorer when he competed in the Math Olympiad. No one has broken his perfect score record to this day, " Tyrone spoke with pride, his voice full of admiration for Chandler.

"Oh," Helen responded. She hadn't realized Chandler was a former academic achiever.

But what did that have to do with her?

...

Since her bet with Jenson, Helen has diligently solved math problems daily.

It seemed like a mere show to outsiders. No one truly believed Helen could win an award in the regional Math Olympiad competition.

"What have you been busy with lately?"

Helen was going through math problems when she received a message from Taylor.

She replied with a brief, "Solving math problems."

Taylor sent a series of sad emojis.

"Even someone as outstanding as you is working hard. What excuse do I have to laze around? I'm going to hit the books too!

"But there's something I forgot to tell you. Someone online is looking for a race. They're offering a handsome reward. Are you in?"

Helen didn't hesitate to decline.

"Send them a refusal. Participating in that street race was an exception."

With Helen's firm response, Taylor quickly replied, "Got it, I'll take care of it."
