《Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities》


 Chapter 1

    Chapter 1


    There was a castle-like vi on the endless grasnd in the northwest. This ce was like a


    paradise. Anyone who came would be immersed in it.


    In the vi, a girl''s clear voice said, "What? Go to get engaged in Aguilisco? No way!"


    "Helen, you can''t refuse it. I made this engagement with the Newtons many years ago. I heard that


    the five scions of the Newtons are all excellent.


    "You only need to choose one of them. Don''t worry, I''m sure there will always be one you like."


    Helen Spencer leaned on the sofa, casually arranging her wavy hair to the back. Her facial features


    were exquisite and enchanting, and she exuded a unique temperament.


    As her grandfather, Milton Spencer, had raised her, she found it difficult to refuse him.


    After thinking for a while, she smiled meaningfully. "Okay then. But Grandpa, I have a few requests.


    You can''t let the Newtons know my identity.


    "Even though you said they''re excellent, I''ll leave if I don''t like any of them within a year. From then


    onward, I have the right to decide my engagement."


    Milton smiled. "No problem."


    ...


    A few dayster, four handsome men stood at the entrance of the Aguilisco train station.


    Four of them were different types of handsome guys. Every passerby couldn''t help but nce at


    them.


    If it weren''t for the blocking of the bodyguards, many people would have already gone forward to


    ask for their contact.


    Jenson Newton, the youngest scion of the Newton family,ined, "It''s so hot! Yet Grandpa


    insisted that we pick up that girl. Does he think we''re idle?"

    "That''s right! She came by train. She must be a country bumpkin!"


    The fourth scion, Tyrone Newton, spoke up. As a famous national actor, he had worn a mask and


    hat to disguise himself.


    "I still can''t believe that a country bumpkin will choose one of us to be her fianc¨¦! When Grandpa


    told me about that, I thought he was joking!" Adrian Newton, the third scion, also said.


    "I''m so envious of Chandler. He''s in apany meeting and doesn''t have to be here."


    Although the second scion, Zac Newton, did not speak, he seemed annoyed too.


    At this moment, a girl wearing old-fashioned red floral clothes walked out from the exit. Her clothes


    were tacky, while her hair was neither long nor short, making her extremely ugly.


    Amused, Jenson patted Tyrone''s shoulder. "Look, there''s still people wearing clothes like this. I''ve


    only seen it on TV. Hahaha!"


    However, the four of them didn''t expect that girl to stop in front of them.


    "Hello, are you guys from the Newtons? I''m Helen Spencer."


    Their expressions slightly changed, especially Tyrone, who asked in disbelief, "You''re Helen?"


    Was she really the beautiful fairy their grandfather mentioned?


    Helen wasn''t only tacky. She had tanned skin with a few moles, and her lipstick was unttering


    neon pink.


    She nodded and said with a hint of infatuation, "Grandpa didn''t lie to me! You guys are handsome!"


    Inwardly, she thought they looked average. No matter how handsome they were, they wouldn''t be


    good enough for her.


    Jenson almost couldn''t help but curse. Even though she came from the countryside, she was too


    ugly.


    "Ms. Spencer, how about leaving now?"


    "Huh?" Helen blinked in confusion.


    Zac, the vice CEO of Newton Group, finally spoke, "Get in the car. Let''s go back first."


    The five of them left the train station. Helen and Zac sat in the middle row in the car.


    She nced out the window and eximed, "Wow, the buildings in big cities are so tall!"


    The others twitched their mouths. They finally got to see what it was like when a country bumpkin


    came to the city.


    Helen inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zac''s watch and eximed again, "Wow! This watch looks


    great! It must cost several hundred dors, right?"


    Several hundred dors? His watch cost 30 million!


    The four of them were speechless. They just hoped Helen wouldn''t fall in love and choose one of


    them as her fianc¨¦.


    The car went all the way to Newton Residence. Looking at the vi, she looked surprised again.


    "Wow, your house is big!"


    Helen secretly thought with disdain that this vi wasn''t even one-tenth of her residence.


    Meanwhile, Jenson''s intolerable voice came from the side.


    "Enough, you country bumpkin! Stop acting like you''ve never seen a house! I can''t stand it


    anymore!"


    None of the other three said anything. After all, they couldn''t stand her behavior either.

 Chapter 2

    Chapter 2


    Seeing their expressions, Helen almostughed. But she held it back and followed them into the


    vi, pretending to be aggrieved.


    A maid took her to see the room, which was specially prepared for her by their grandfather, Esmond


    Newton. The blue-themed room and the piles of brand-name bags, clothes, and jewelry in the walk-


    in closet showed how much he valued her.


    The four scions were sitting downstairs and heard Helen''s exmation again.


    "Wow, this room is so big and beautiful! Are all these clothes, bags, and jewelry mine?"


    The four brothers'' faces fell when they overheard her. Tyrone said, "I''m the most handsome among


    us. She won''t like me, right? I feel that I''m so unlucky to be too handsome."


    "You''re the most handsome? Stop talking nonsense."


    They still had to have dinner with Helen.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Their parents and Esmond had traveled overseas. Their eldest brother, Chandler Newton, was the


    head of the Newtons and the CEO of Newton Group. At the moment, he was still working at the


    company.


    Usually, all of them had their own ce to stay. But upon Esmond''s request, all five brothers had to


    return to stay here because of Helen''s arrival.


    When they saw her walking downstairs, they couldn''t stand to look at her as she still wore her red


    floral clothes.


    As a world-renowned fashion designer, Adrian couldn''t help but say, "Ms. Spencer, there are many


    clothes upstairs. Can you change your clothes?"


    Helen nced at her clothes and said in confusion, "My clothes look pretty good. My grandma


    made them for me."


    The four of them were speechless, finding it hard to believe that there were still people who made


    clothes themselves.


    "Hey, country bumpkin! None of us will get engaged to you! Our eldest brother will despise you even


    more! You''d better leave!"


    The person who had spoken was Jenson, who spoke most viciously among the Newtons.


    Upon hearing that, Helen bit her lips. "But I can''t exin it to my grandpa..."


    "I know you''re just interested in our money! It won''t end well for you if you stay here!"


    She lowered her head while eating, looking aggrieved. But she was so ugly that the other four


    people didn''t even have the appetite. They found it difficult tomunicate with her.


    After they left, her expression instantly changed, and she ate happily. The food here was good and


    suited her taste.


    In addition, she had achieved the effect she wanted. If none of the Newtons liked her, she was


    allowed to leave after a year.


    After the meal, she returned to the room. Soon, she heard her phone''s message tone. Someone


    had messaged her.


    "Helly, are you in Aguilisco now? How was it? Did the Newtons bully you?"


    Helen read the text message and smiled, replying, "Bully me? They never had such a chance."


    Taylor Xander quickly replied, "You''re so awesome! The Newtons aren''t easy to mess with,


    especially Chandler Newton. That man is scheming. You must watch out!"


    Helen was stunned. Chandler Newton was probably the eldest brother of the Newtons who had a


    meeting at thepany today. Although she didn''t see him, she wasn''t afraid of anyone ever since


    she was a child.


    Turning off her phone, she fell asleep.


    Probably because she wasn''t used to the new environment, she slept in a daze until she woke up


    thirsty at about 4:00 am.


    At this time, she had already taken off the makeup on her face. Thinking there should be no one at


    midnight, she put on her slippers and went downstairs. After drinking the water, she went upstairs


    again andy down in a daze.


    She didn''t turn on the lights, just feeling that the bed seemed different. And she felt more


    comfortable sleeping on it.


    After a while, the door opened, and someone seemed to lift the quilt. She vaguely sensed someone


    and woke up again in a daze.


    Before she could react, a deep and sexy male voice said, "Who are you?"


    Helen waspletely stunned. She never expected someone from the Newtons to break into her


    room at night!


    "Who are you? Why did you enter my room? You''re so rude!"


    Helen couldn''t see the man''s face as the lights were off. She only heard his sneer. "Ah, you must be


    Helen Spencer."

 Chapter 3

    Chapter 3


    Helen had a vague suspicion. This man should be Chandler, the eldest scion of the Newtons.


    Before she could speak, he continued, "This is my room."


    She paused. With the faint moonlight streaming through the window, she finally realized she wasn''t


    in her room.


    No wonder she felt different when sleeping. She had gone to the wrong room!


    Helen got up from the bed awkwardly. "Sorry, I went to the wrong room. I didn''t mean to."


    "Go out," he responded lightly, and she left in embarrassment.

    The next day, Helen walked downstairs sleepily when she heard Jenson say mockingly, "Chandler,


    that girl is ugly! I heard the maid say she entered your roomst night. Did she scare you to death?"


    Upon hearing that, she frowned. Sure enough, the manst night was Chandler.


    He didn''t speak but thought, "Is she ugly?"


    Even though he didn''t turn on the lights and couldn''t see Helen clearly, he vaguely remembered that


    she was in pajamas with her hair untied, and her skin was fair and wless.


    As they talked, he saw hering down the stairs.


    Although she had changed her clothes, she had a tanned face with a few moles. She was indeed


    extremely ugly.


    Chandler pursed his lips, thinking that he might have seen it wrongst night.


    Helen also nced at him, who was dressed in a ck suit and had exquisite facial features,


    looking perfect and impable. He also exuded a powerful aura that was intimidating.


    Soon, he said in a maic voice, "I''m going to thepany."


    After saying that, Chandler left without looking at Helen again.


    Jenson nced at her and said sarcastically, "No wonder you didn''t react much to the four of us


    yesterday. It turned out that you were interested in Chandler! Helen Spencer, I didn''t expect you to


    be so scheming!"


    Helen''s mouth twitched. She only went to the wrong room. Why did he think of her as that kind of


    person?


    However, she didn''t exin much and just sat in the dining room for breakfast.


    Seeing that he was ignored, Jenson came over angrily. "Chandler won''t like you! He has someone


    he likes. Stop daydreaming!"


    "Hmm."


    "How about you like me? I can let you stay a few more days if you make me happy!"


    Helen nced at Jenson with a look of disgust. "You? You''re just a kid!"


    He was the youngest of the Newtons. He was only 18, and she was already 19.


    Hearing that, he immediately became furious.


    "You ugly! How dare you look down on me! Do you think I''ll be happy if you like me? If you choose


    me as your fianc¨¦, I''d rather die!"


    On the side, Zac looked at them silently without speaking. He nced at Helen, who was eating


    breakfast.


    She was obviously from the countryside. But she behaved elegantly and had the temperament of a


    youngdy. He wondered if he had wrongly assessed her.


    Esmond had already made arrangements for Helen before she came. She was about the same age


    as Jenson, who went to school too.


    "Ugly, don''t tell anyone that you know me when we''re in school!"


    Helen nced at Jenson disdainfully.


    After the meal, she got into Zac''s car. Like Chandler, he didn''t talk much.


    She couldn''t help but ask, "Jenson and I go to the same school. Why don''t you let the drop send us


    off together?"


    Hearing her words, he looked helpless.


    "Grandpa asked the five of us to get to know you better. We will take turns dropping you off and


    picking you up from Monday to Friday.


    "This includes hanging out with you on the weekends. Chandler was originally going to send you off


    this morning. But he had a meeting, so I reced him."


    All five of them had rejected Esmond''s proposal. They didn''t want to waste time sending this


    country bumpkin to school and hanging out with her on the weekends. But no one could refuse him.


    Helen instantly understood upon hearing that. She knew how reluctant they were¡ªshe wasn''t


    willing either.

 Chapter 4

    Chapter 4


    Zac left after dropping Helen off at Greenville High School.


    Looking at the striking environment, she felt pretty good as she hadn''t gone to school for a long


    time. Afterpleting school registration, she followed the teacher to the ss, causing an uproar.


    "Is she the Newtons'' fianc¨¦e? She''s too ugly! How can she be worthy of the scions of the


    Newtons?"


    "Oh my god, she''s too tacky! She really came from the countryside!"


    "Her grades shouldn''t be good enough to be assigned to our ss!"


    ...


    Everyone was talking about Helen. She then realized that she was already famous.


    She didn''t even need to think about it. It must be Jenson who spread her rumors. He was so


    childish!


    No one in the ss wanted to sit beside her. She didn''t care either, sitting alone in the corner.


    When ss was over, she headed to the restroom, but several people blocked her outside.


    Those girls had dyed hair and heavy makeup, seemingly bad students.


    Kate Anderson shouted, "You''re Helen Spencer, right? I''m warning you, you''d better leave the


    Newtons! Leave Aguilisco!"


    Helen''s mouth twitched. She could see that they didn''t wee her. But she was reluctant to be


    here either.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Ugly! Did you hear Kate?"


    Helen returned to her senses and respondedzily, "Yes, I did. But I won''t leave. I''ll stay here."


    ...


    Meanwhile, Jenson was lying on the table in ss A. He woke up when he heard his ssmates''


    conversation.


    "I heard that Kate from ss F went to block Helen. Tsk, she''s doomed!"


    "They''re probably going to beat her..."


    Jenson raised his eyebrows slightly. He had spread the rumor, wanting Helen to have a hard time at


    school.


    But she couldn''t get hurt, or Esmond would teach him a lesson. Thinking about it, he left the


    ssroom in a hurry.


    The restroom was in a mess. The four bullies who came to block Helen were all beaten to the


    ground, especially Kate, who got pinned against the sink.


    "One of the things I hate the most is being threatened. Don''t bother me again. Understand?"


    "Sorry, we were wrong!"


    ¡­


    Helen tidied herself and was about to leave when she saw the surprised Jenson standing behind


    her.


    "You..."


    He knew that Kate had learnedbat skills. She had brought three bullies to block Helen, but they


    ended up like this.


    He suddenly felt that this country bumpkin seemed a little difficult to deal with.


    "I trained myself by chopping trees and climbing mountains. They''re too weak!"


    Jenson instantly understood. Aftering to his senses, he followed her and left the restroom.


    "By the way, why are you in the female restroom?" She looked at him strangely, and his expression


    became a little embarrassed.


    "It''s none of your business! I like toe here!" As soon as he finished speaking, he walked quickly


    toward the ssroom, leaving Helen speechless.


    When she returned to the ssroom, her phone on the table rang.


    "Helly, help!"


    Taylor''s call for help was never a good sign.


    "Helly, Jenson is my nemesis. He has challenged me to a race at Night Breeze Racing Track. Come


    help me tonight!"


    "I won''t go."


    Helen was lying on the table, looking uninterested.


    "Helly, Jenson is annoying! Didn''t he bully you at the Newtons? If you help me, I''ll pay you five


    million!"


    Taylor kept begging her. She thought about it and realized that Jenson was indeed quite annoying.


    Five million was not much but not too bad, so she replied, "Okay, I''m at Greenville High School. Pick


    me up in the afternoon."


    Thinking for a while, she messaged Zac to tell him that she had something to doter and he didn''t


    need to pick her up. They had exchanged numbers this morning to contact each other on


    WhatsApp.


    He didn''t ask much after he read her message, only replying with an "Okay". After all, he had no


    interest in her at all.


    ...


    Night Breeze was a famous racing track in Aguilisco, where most of the rich young generation from


    the upper ss gathered.


    When school was over, Helen got into a Lamborghini. The man in the driver''s seat was about the


    same age as Jenson.


    Taylor nced at her and frowned. "Who are you? Did you get in the wrong car?"


    She smiled. "You don''t recognize me?"


    Her familiar voice shocked Taylor. "Gosh! Helly, are you disfigured?"


    Helen was always a sweet little fairy. How did she be like this? He couldn''t recognize her at all.


    She fastened her seat belt and said casually, "Let''s go. I have to find a ce to remove my makeup


    and have a meal."


    "Okay!" Taylor immediately started the car and drove toward the destination.

 Chapter 5

    Chapter 5


    It was 8:00 pm. Many people had gathered at the Night Breeze Racing Track.


    Jenson and Taylor had organized today''spetition. After all, they had been at odds for a long


    time.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Chandler sat at the club entrance, already dressed in casual clothes. He looked a little out of ce


    among Jenson''s friends as he looked dignified and aloof.


    He nced at the watch and frowned. "Where is he?"


    Jenson said tteringly, "He should be here soon."


    It was difficult for him to bring his workaholic brother here. He believed Taylor would lose miserably


    later.


    Jenson smiled confidently, then saw Taylor''s caring.


    Taylor first got out of the driver''s seat, and then the passenger door opened.


    It was a woman wearing gray casual clothes, with slightly curly long hair hanging on her back. They


    walked over leisurely.


    Only then did everyone see her face. Her fair skin was wless, and her eyes seemed to be


    enchanting. Under the light, she looked drop-dead gorgeous.


    Although this woman was beautiful, Jenson hadn''t forgotten thepetition.


    "Taylor, where is the expert you mentioned? I brought my brother here! You''ll definitely lose!"


    Taylor chuckled and patted Helen''s shoulder.


    "My friend willpete with your brother! She''s the best! It''s not certain who will be the winner yet!"


    After he finished speaking, Jenson looked at her in disbelief.


    "What? Taylor, are you kidding me? You want her topete with my brother? Are you looking


    down on us?"


    Even Taylor''s friends found it outrageous. Helen looked like a delicate and weakdy. And this was


    a racing carpetition, not toy cars.


    Night Breeze Racing Track was famous because the road was difficult to race on. Any carelessness


    could kill the racecar drivers.


    Taylor didn''t care about what everyone thought. Helen would prove that they were wrong anyway.


    She nced at Jenson and Chandler, deliberately lowered her voice, and said, "Let''s get started."


    Then, she tied up her hair, picked up the helmet, and put it on. There was no hesitation in her


    movements.


    Seeing that Chandler hadn''t moved yet, she smiled. "Mr. Chandler, do you look down on me?"


    Indeed, he was unwilling topete with a woman because he could foresee the oue.


    Jenson tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Chandler, I didn''t know that the expert Taylor


    mentioned was a woman. But she''s already here, so justpete with her.


    "But don''t take it too seriously. The racer is a woman, after all. And she looks so beautiful."


    Chandler frowned slightly and hesitated for a while before picking up the helmet.


    The two got into racing cars. Everyone present felt that the oue was already determined as


    Chandler had been racing cars since he was eight.


    The rules were simple. The starting point of the racing track was also the endpoint. Whoever


    returned to the starting point first would be the winner.


    Soon, their cars set off together and disappeared at the end of the mountainside in a few seconds.


    Only then did Chandler realize that he had underestimated his opponent. This woman was


    extraordinary as she raced as if her life depended on it. He seemed to have met his match.


    He smiled, gradually bing serious.


    About ten minutester, the blue BMW arrived at the starting point first. Helen performed a


    handsome drift on the track before slowly stopping the car.


    Everyone was shocked as she was the one driving the blue one.


    Taylor jumped out of his chair, cheering, "Awesome!"


    The friends behind him also cheered, "Ms. Fairy is awesome!"


    They had won the bet!


    After more than ten seconds, Chandler''s car also stopped on the racing track.


    Jenson''s eyes were filled with disbelief. His brother lost!


    Helen got out of the driver''s seat, and so did Chandler. She took off her helmet and smiled. "You''ve


    lost."


    She felt so good to win against him.


    On the contrary, he didn''t look well. He nced at her and said, "Let''spete again."


    He had never lost in a racingpetition. It was the first time he lost, especially losing to a woman.

 Chapter 6

    Chapter 6


    Helen smiled charmingly. "Sorry, I don''t have time."


    After saying that, she put down her helmet and turned around.


    Taylor looked at Jenson gloatingly. "Hey, you lost! How about it? Who did you look down on just


    now?"


    Jenson''s expression darkened, but he didn''t know how to refute it.


    Helen came over. "Send me back."


    "Okay." Taylor followed her to the car.


    Looking at Chandler, who looked gloomy, Jenson asked in confusion, "Chandler, did you let her win


    just now? Just because she''s beautiful?"


    He nced at Jenson unpleasantly upon hearing that.


    Then, he nced at Helen''s leaving figure. Vaguely, he felt that she seemed familiar, but he couldn''t


    remember where he had seen her before.


    ...


    Helen fell asleep happily after receiving five million. The next morning, when she put on tacky


    makeup and wig again, it was particrly lively downstairs.


    Apart from Chandler, the other four scions of the Newtons were there.


    "Look at this photo. This woman is beautiful! She looked awesome racing! It''s not surprising that


    Chandler lost to her."


    The other three took a look at the photo, which was taken by Jenson''s friendst night. Everyone


    was excitedly discussing how Chandler lost.


    "Hahaha, Chandler has never lost before! It''s so rare to see him lose!"


    "She is good-looking. I''d like to invite her to be a model in mypany," Adrian, a fashionpany


    owner, said.


    The actor, Tyrone, added, "It would be a pity if she''s not interested in the entertainment industry."


    "Oh dear, I forgot to ask her namest night! Hmm, well, Chandler has sent someone to investigate


    her. There should be news soon."


    It wasn''t until Helen came downstairs that they ended their discussion. Everyone looked at her,


    thinking that her face was far worse than that beauty.


    Helen felt relieved that her makeup skills were good enough, even narcissistically thinking that they


    would probably fall in love with her if they saw her true appearance.


    After finishing breakfast, her phone rang. It was Taylor.


    "Helly, did you know this? Jenson is so shameless that he paid me to buy your contact information!


    He probably didn''t expect that the person he was looking for was living with him.


    "By the way, Chandler is also investigating you. You have to be careful!"


    Helen smiled disdainfully, not worried that Chandler could find her.


    ...


    It was Friday. After Adrian and Tyrone had dropped her off for the past few days, it was Chandler''s


    turn.


    They spent the morning in silence. When school was over, Jenson followed Helen out.


    "Why are you following me?"


    He sneered and responded disdainfully, "Do you think I''m willing to follow you? I just want to find


    Margaret. She is back and will be here with Chandler."


    Margaret? Who was that?


    Sensing her confusion, he exined happily, "We''ve known Margaret for many years. She is the


    eldest daughter of the Leonards and gets along with us. She has studied overseas for the past two


    years. Now she is finally back!"


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    It was obvious that Jenson had a good impression of that youngdy.


    Helen didn''t care about it. She had never heard of the eldest daughter of the Leonards.


    She just slowly walked out of the school gate while eating a lollipop.


    Margaret Leonard was sitting in the passenger seat. Dressed in branded clothes, she had wavy


    curly hair and wore delicate makeup. It was a typical appearance of a youngdy from a wealthy


    family.


    She first greeted Jenson warmly, then looked at Helen with a smile. "Hello, Helen. I''m Margaret


    Leonard. Nice to meet you. I''ve known the Newtons for many years. Let''s be friends. We can hang


    out together."


    Helen responded politely, "Okay, thank you."


    "Margaret, you''ll only get tired of her! Just leave her alone! I missed you so much! Will you leave


    again?"


    Margaret smiled. "No, I won''t. I''ve graduated, and I''m nning to be a trainee at Newton Group."


    "Really? Chandler, you must take care of Margaret then!"


    Chandler didn''t say anything, just starting the car and leaving.


    A trace of disappointment shed in her eyes. Through the rearview mirror, she nced at Helen.


    How could she leave again?

 Chapter 7

    Chapter 7


    In fact, Margaret hadn''t graduated yet. But the Leonards spent a lot of money to withdraw her from


    university.


    The Leonards and the Newtons had a decades-long friendship. Margaret had liked Chandler since


    she was a child, and the Leonards had also trained her as the future Mrs. Newton.


    However, she didn''t expect Helen to appear.


    Margaret wondered why this ugly girl from the countryside was qualified to choose one of the scions


    from the Newtons as her fianc¨¦.


    But it didn''t matter as long as Helen didn''t choose Chandler.


    ...


    The car drove slowly to the Newtons'' vi. The other scions were all at home.


    Everyone warmly greeted Margaret, whom they hadn''t seen for a long time. She gave them the gifts


    she had bought from overseas.


    Looking at Helen, she paused and said apologetically, "Sorry, Helen. I had no idea that you live with


    the Newtons, so I didn''t prepare a gift for you."


    Helen only thought that this woman was hypocritical. Before she could speak, the talkative Jenson


    interrupted, "Margaret, you''re not familiar with her anyway. Why are you embarrassed?"


    While opening the gift, he eximed in amazement, "Wow, a new game console! It''s a limited


    edition! Margaret, you''re so good to me!"


    Helen was out of tune with everyone. She didn''t want to join them, so she went upstairs alone.


    But after a while, someone knocked on the door. Opening the door, she looked at Chandler in


    confusion.


    "The Leonards held a banquet tonight to wee Margaret back to Choloot. Grandpa has


    requested me to take you along."


    It was his turn to pick up Helen today, so he was also in charge of her affairs.


    She originally didn''t want to go, but Esmond had already asked Chandler to bring her along. It


    seemed impossible to refuse it.


    Sighing helplessly, she followed him, heading to the fashion boutique with Margaret.


    Arriving there, he sat on the sofa and waited for them.


    Margaret took Helen''s hand warmly. "Helen, don''t be nervous when you attend the banquetter. If


    you need anything, juste to me. You can rest assured."


    Helen couldn''t stand her hypocrisy, smiling lightly. "It''s okay. Mr. Newton Senior has asked Chandler


    to bring me along. I feel at ease with him."


    Margaret''s face visibly stiffened, and she unconsciously tightened her hand while holding Helen''s.


    But she soon regained her amiable demeanor.


    "I see. Well, let''s choose a dress. We don''t want to keep Chandler waiting."


    She smiled and added, "I buy dresses often. How about I choose one for you?"


    "Okay."


    "How about this one?"


    Helen nced at the clothes in Margaret''s hand. It was a dark green tube top dress. This kind of


    dress was usually worn by those in their 30s or 40s, which didn''t match her.


    As she thought, this woman was indeed hypocritical.


    "How about it? Do you like it?" Margaret expected that Helen was from the countryside and wouldn''t


    know fashion.


    Sure enough, Helen nodded. "Okay, I''ll wear this one."


    She did not care about her clothes since she already made herself ugly.


    Margaret smiled meaningfully. "Then let''s go put on makeup."


    "Thanks, I don''t need it. I''ve had skin allergies recently."


    She didn''tment. After all, she would only be happier to see Helen ugly.


    After changing their clothes, they came out of the dressing room. Margaret was wearing a light blue


    dress, which looked gentle and attractive, forming a sharp contrast with Helen.


    Chandler frowned slightly but said nothing.


    The banquet was held at the Leonards'' vi. All of Margaret''s friends and rtives were invited.


    Arriving at the venue, she went to greet the guests.


    "Margie, is that woman Helen Spencer? Why is that ugly woman standing next to Chandler?"


    It was Margaret''s cousin, J Lindsey, who spoke.


    As per Esmond''s request, Chandler stayed with Helen during the banquet. They attracted a lot of


    attention.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Margaret was visibly upset, thinking J was right. Even Margaret had never attended the


    banquet with him as his femalepanion.


    "Margie, since she is here, I''ll teach her a lesson!" J said fiercely.


    Margaret frowned slightly. "J, don''t mess around."


    "Don''t worry. I won''t hurt her."


    ...


    Chandler met several business friends, so they chatted for a while.


    Helen wandered alone by the swimming pool in the backyard. She found the event to be boring.


    Perhaps she should sneak away and find Taylor.


    While she was pondering, someone suddenly pushed her hard, causing her to lose her bnce and


    fall into the nearby swimming pool.


    She wasn''t afraid of anything but water. In anxiety, she kept struggling in the swimming pool.


    As the banquet''s main venue was in the backyard, everyone was startled by the ident.


    Margaret smiled slightly until she saw Chandler jump into the swimming pool. Instantly, her


    expression froze.


    ...


    After being rescued, Helen and Chandler were sent to the rooms upstairs to change clothes.


    In the room, she wrapped herself with a bath towel gloomily. She swore that she must deal with the


    person who attacked her just now!


    Right then, someone knocked on the door. It was Zac''s voice.


    "Helen, I''ve brought clothes for you. Are you okay?"


    Returning to her senses, she opened the door, took the clothes from Zac, and thanked him.


    "You..."


    He looked surprised. She waspletely different from the previous Helen. To be precise, she was


    exactly the same as the beauty in the photo that Jenson had shown him before.


    Only then did Helen realize that her makeup was gone. She just wiped her face with the towel as


    she felt ufortable.


    Although her wig didn''t fall off, her face...


    She was so angry that she forgot to touch up her makeup!

    "I¡ª"


    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."


    "Thene 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.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "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 epted 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.


    Looking at the clothes, she felt disgusted as it was a gentle dress that didn''t fit her character. But


    she didn''t care about it.


    She put on the dress and looked in the mirror proudly. Sure enough, she looked good in whatever


    she wore.


    Opening the door gently, she felt relieved to see Zac alone outside.


    "I have to go to the dressing room. Please wait a moment."


    He watched Helen casually tie her hair, and her fair skin glowed a faint blush. Inexplicably, he felt


    his heart beat faster. "Okay."


    She quickly put on tanned makeup, carefully added a few moles, and went downstairs with him


    contentedly.


    ...


    As soon as they came downstairs, there was a burst ofughter.


    "Hey, what does she mean? Wouldn''t she feel embarrassed to imitate Margaret?"


    "She looks uglier than before!"


    Helen looked at Margaret''s clothes and instantly understood the situation.


    Margaret said hypocritically, "That''s not the case. It''s Helen''s first time attending a big banquet. I


    picked the clothes for her. She didn''t imitate me."


    After saying that, she continued to worsen the situation, "Helen, this is the best dress I''ve picked.


    It''s a pity that it doesn''t seem to suit you. I''ll tailor one for you next time."


    What a hypocritical woman! Helen felt so disgusted to see her acting. She wouldn''t want these


    tattered clothes!


    Seeing that Helen was silent, J continued to humiliate her.


    "Helen Spencer, you have to remember well. Stupid imitation will only have the opposite effect!"


    Zac frowned, saying, "Ms. Lindsey, please watch your mouth."


    Upon hearing that, she felt jealous of Helen, and her tone became more arrogant.


    "Hmph, the country bumpkin is indeed different from us! Helen Spencer, did you drug Mr. Zac?


    You''re not a perfect match to the scions of the Newtons!


    "Mr. Zac is always nice to everyone! Don''t be naive to think that you''re special to him! Also, you


    shouldn''t covet what you shouldn''t! Stop daydreaming! Pay more attention to your identity!"


    Helen sneered. "I always pay great attention to my identity. But Ms. Lindsey, what right do you have


    to say that to me?"

 Chapter 9

    Chapter 9


    Hearing that, people around beganmenting.


    "That''s right. J takes herself too seriously."


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Who does she think she is? Only the Lindseys pamper her. We won''t."


    J was humiliated for the first time. She felt furious and annoyed, rushing over and trying to push


    Helen.


    Unexpectedly, Helen dodged her in time, and she fell to the ground.


    Helen said helplessly, "Everyone can see it, right? I didn''t even touch her."


    She lowered her head and threatened gently, "J Lindsey, I know you were the one who pushed


    me just now. If you do this to me again, Mr. Zac will be the first to know about it."


    With a smile, she raised her voice, "Ms. Lindsey, do you need my help?"


    J turned pale upon hearing that. She hurriedly stood up and ran away.


    From a distance, Chandler had been silently paying attention to the scene.


    He had assumed that Helen would get bullied, but she didn''t seem as stupid as he thought.


    Unconsciously, he slightly smiled as if he had discovered an interesting prey.


    After the farce ended, Helen had lost her interest in staying here. Looking at Margaret, she said,


    "Ms. Leonard, I have to leave. Pardon me."


    "I''m sorry for what happened just now." Margaret looked kind. But actually, she secretly med


    J''s stupid actions.


    Just as Helen turned around, she heard a ripping sound. Was her dress'' zipper broken? She was so


    unlucky today!


    She could only hold tightly to the zipper to keep her dress from falling. Although she had turned


    around, she could imagine Margaret''s gloating.


    Zac saw it, nning to take off his coat to cover Helen, but Chandler was a step faster than him.


    "What happened to your dress?" he said in a deep voice.


    "The back zipper is broken."


    ncing at Margaret, he seemed to have an idea. "Let''s leave first."


    ...


    Margaret restrained herself when she heard his cold voice. She wondered since when he was here.


    She smiled stiffly, trying to keep him. "Chandler, I just returned to Choloot. You can ask someone


    else to send Helen back. I haven''t danced with you yet."


    "No need." Chandler ignored Margaret and turned to Helen. "I''ll take you back."


    "Okay," she responded, not expecting him to help her.


    Jenson saw Chandler leaving early and eximed, "Chandler, why are you leaving so early?"


    Moving his gaze, he saw Helen wearing a man''s coat, then shouted, "Hey, you ugly! Don''t try to


    seduce my brother!"


    She rolled her eyes in silence. She had also hoped to leave alone. She felt so embarrassed when


    many people looked at her, especially Margaret, who seemed to want to cut her into pieces.


    But Chandler looked stern and didn''t respond to her. She could only hold on to his coat in


    embarrassment.


    Zac held his coat that he did not pass to Helen, staring at her leaving figure. Vaguely, he had an


    inexplicable feeling.


    He wondered why Chandler was so nice to her. Was it just because of Esmond''s orders?


    ...


    Margaret watched in disappointment as Chandler apanied Helen out. She was so angry that


    her whole body was trembling, full of jealousy.


    She thought, "She is just a wild, ugly, uneducated woman! How can she be qualified topete


    with me for Chandler? Helen Spencer, I won''t make it easy for you! Just wait and see!"

 Chapter 10

    Chapter 10


    Returning to the vi, Helen breathed a sigh of relief. Too many things had happened that she didn''t


    even have the time to react to.


    While sitting in the car just now, she observed Chandler through the front view mirror. As it was dark


    inside, she couldn''t see his expression.


    She thought a lot along the way but still couldn''t figure out why he suddenly took action. Based on


    his character, he should be a bystander. Was he a good man who didn''t judge her by her


    appearance?


    Without thinking much, she went back to the room and changed out of her dress. She deliberately


    put on a set of tacky pajamas and walked into his study.


    There was a stack of documents and a few scattered photos on his desk.


    "Here is your coat. Thanks for your help just now."


    Chandler nced at Helen and said, "You don''t need to return it."


    She replied, "If you think it''s dirty, I can send it to theundry."


    He looked at her and emphasized, "I don''t want it anymore."


    Her expression darkened, and she sneered. "Don''t want it? Then I''ll throw it away."


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    After saying that, she threw his coat into the trash can. Then, she nced at him. He still sat on the


    sofa, reading the documents without saying anything.


    His reaction dampened her mood. Originally, she nned to clean his coat and thank him again


    while returning it. It seemed that her gratitude was superfluous.


    She turned to leave but found Jenson standing at the door motionlessly.


    "Stand aside," she said rudely.


    He saw the coat in the trash can and angrily asked, "Did you throw it away?"


    Faced with his inexplicable question, she nodded.


    But he instantly became furious. "You''re indeed a country bumpkin! You just imitated Margaret''s


    dressing style, didn''t you?


    "Don''t make meugh! Don''t you know you''re ugly? Even if you wear the best clothes, it''s useless!


    "Chandler rescued you, but you threw his coat! Do you know how much it cost? You must pay for it!"


    After the incident, Helen felt so tired that she didn''t want to argue with Jenson. But he kept calling


    her country bumpkin, and she couldn''t stand it anymore.


    She pushed him away, took out a stack of checks from her room, and gave one to him. "Here you


    go! It should be enough."


    He took the check and looked at it repeatedly. "Is your check real?"


    Helen was speechless.


    Jenson seemed to havee to a realization and said with a wicked smile, "You don''t need to pay.


    I''ll let you go after you apologize to Chandler."


    If anyone dared to talk to her like this before, she would just throw the check in his face. But now,


    her identity was an ordinary country bumpkin. So, she just rolled her eyes at him. "I wasn''t wrong.


    Why should I apologize?"


    He yelled, "Helen Spencer! Stop embarrassing yourself! Apologize to Chandler!"


    ...


    Meanwhile, Esmond was rmed by Jenson''s yelling and walked out of the room. "Apologize? Why


    apologize?"


    Helen knew that Esmond and Milton were friends, so she didn''t want to make the matter a big deal.


    "Mr. Newton Senior, it''s nothing. Just a misunderstanding."


    Jenson thought she was hiding something and said, "Grandpa, this country bumpkin threw


    Chandler''s coat! I''ve given her a chance to apologize, but she refused it! "


    "You brat! You''re so rude!" Esmond hit him fiercely.


    He groaned in pain and turned to re at Helen.


    She wasn''t afraid of him as she did nothing wrong. So, she red back at him.


    "Helen, what is going on?" Esmond asked her softly.

 Chapter 11

    Chapter 11


    Helen was dazzled by his smile. Thinking of Milton, she gradually stopped herself from being angry.


    "Chandler asked me to throw away his coat, but Jenson misunderstood me."


    Jenson looked in disbelief. "Chandler, is what she said true?"


    Although Chandler did not ask Helen to throw away his coat, he acquiesced to her behavior. So, he


    replied, "Yes."


    Esmond said in relief, "Oh, it''s really a misunderstanding! Brat, apologize to Helen!"


    Although Jenson knew he was wrong, he remained unconvinced.


    "Apologize!" Esmond repeated.


    Clenching his fists, Jenson said through gritted teeth, "I''m sorry."


    Although Helen did nothing wrong, she felt a little guilty when Jenson apologized. "It doesn''t matter."


    "Get along well in the future! I hope Helen will be my granddaughter-inw!" Esmond looked


    at her seriously.


    She felt embarrassed as she never thought they could get along.


    ...


    As Newton Residence was spacious, many cleaners cleaned the house early in the morning.


    Jenson yawned and walked downstairs in a daze. Just then, he heard a cleaner remind him, "Mr.


    Jenson, I just mopped the floor. It''s a little slippery. Please be careful."


    "Okay."


    He rubbed his head, suddenly having an idea. He turned around and asked sweetly, "Can you bring


    me a basin of water?"


    ...


    The cleaner soon brought a basin of water. She was shocked as Jenson poured it on the stairs and


    ordered her, "Don''t clean the stairs now. You can clean them after breakfast."


    As he liked to y pranks the most, the cleaner didn''t dare to ask, agreeing without hesitation.


    There was only Helen upstairs. No one but her would identally step on that puddle of water.


    Thinking of that, Jenson burst intoughter. He couldn''t help butugh while imagining her falling.


    ...


    Helen happened to meet Chandler when she was about to go downstairs. He politely stepped aside


    and let her pass first.


    She thanked him, continuing to walk downstairs. Unexpectedly, she stepped on a puddle of water.


    She slipped and fell backward.


    She was doomed! She closed her eyes in fear but fell into a warm embrace, which exuded a


    reassuring aura.


    She slowly opened her eyes. When their gazes met, she instantly blushed. She distanced herself


    from Chandler, turning around to leave.


    He felt her lingering fragrance in his hand. Seeing her walking some distance away, he remembered


    what he wanted to tell her.


    "I helped you at the banquet because of Grandpa''s order. Don''t get me wrong."


    What did he mean? Did he think she would misunderstand that he liked her?


    Helen took a deep breath and smiled slightly. "I''ve always been very self-aware, Mr. Chandler."


    Seeing a slight change in Chandler''s calm expression, she changed to smile wantonly. "But you''re


    so kind to me. I might not be able to control my feelings one day."


    ...


    Jenson sat at the dining table, chatting with Zac happily. Seeing Helen, he gloomily put down the


    bread, nning to leave.


    "Jenson, sit down!"


    After scolding him, Esmond turned to greet her, "Helen,e have breakfast! Chandler will send


    you two to schoolter."


    Jenson was unpleasant. "I don''t want to go to school with her!"


    Esmond said stubbornly, "Brat, you have no right to refuse it!"


    Chandler said nothing, taking a big bite of bread.


    Seeing that Helen was fine, Jenson knew his prank must have failed.


    What was even worse was that he had to go to school with her from now on!


    He took several more bites of bread, thinking to himself. Since his tricks did not work, he would deal


    with her openly!Original from N?velDrama.Org.

 Chapter 12

    Chapter 12


    Today, a new ssmate came to Helen''s ss.


    "Hello everyone, my name is Jenson Newton."


    Jenson smiled so charmingly that he attracted many girls in the ss.


    "Wow, isn''t he Jenson from ss A?"


    The girls were excited. Even Yvette Smith, who ranked first in the school, eximed that he was


    handsome.


    Helen was sleeping on the table. Hearing the familiar voice, she looked up in irritation.


    Such bad luck, she thought. Why did he keep following her?


    "I''ll just sit there." After Jenson finished speaking, he walked down the aisle. The girls looked at him


    expectantly until their gazes fell on Helen.


    Why did Jenson choose to sit beside her? Could it be that he transferred ss because of her?


    Everyone was in disbelief.


    He tilted his head and smiled maliciously. "Hello, my new deskmate."


    Helen rubbed the pen and paper in her hand, feeling terrible.


    "Hey, Helen! Are you mute?"


    She didn''t respond. Feeling ignored, Jenson was pissed off. Since then, she had never had a quiet


    moment.


    "Hey, do you understand what the teacher said?"


    "Helen, speak to me!"


    Helen watched Jenson before her, still silent. Her reaction made him even angrier.


    Toward the end of the math lesson, the math teacher, Gerard Ziegler, announced, "This ss is


    over. Does anyone want to sign up for the Math Olympiad?"


    Jenson turned the pen in his hand and asked, "Helen, do you know the Math Olympiad?"


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Helen responded helplessly, "I only know a little bit."


    "Is that so?"


    He rolled his eyes, and an idea suddenly urred in his mind. He shouted, "Mr. Ziegler, Helen said


    she wants to participate in the Math Olympiad!"


    As soon as he said that, the ssroom was in uproar.


    "Is she serious? Did a country bumpkin learn Math Olympiad?"


    "That''s right! She must have overestimated herself!"


    "Quiet!"


    Hearing the students'' discussion, Gerard cleared his throat and spoke tactfully to Helen, "You''re


    new here, so you may not know the difficulty of the school''spetition. How about you participate


    in it next year?"


    Helen felt that everyone looked down on her. Originally, she didn''t want to participate in it.


    She knew about the Math Olympiad but did not intend to be in the limelight. But after what Gerard


    said, she had no choice but to participate.


    "No, I''ll participate this year."


    "How about you consider it again?"


    "Don''t worry. My math scores are pretty good."


    No matter how nice the countryside was, everyone thought she couldn''tpare to those who had


    received high-end education.


    Gerard was shocked by Helen''s confidence and couldn''t help but think of Helen as an ignorant girl.


    After ss, Jenson deliberately raised his voice and said sarcastically, "If you don''t know the Math


    Olympiad, you can quit thepetition! It won''t be embarrassing!"


    The phone in her pocket vibrated. Helen left her seat and walked out of the ssroom, quietly


    taking out her phone.


    "Helly, let''s meet at the stairs."


    She put away her phone and walked toward the stairs. Soon, she saw Taylor standing at the corner


    of the stairs from a distance, holding something unknown, waving and calling her.


    She pressed his head and pushed him back to the stairs. "Keep your voice down!"


    After checking that no one was nearby, she asked, "What''s the matter?"


    He gave her a document. "I heard that you''ll participate in the Math Olympiad, so I prepared a


    question bank for you."


    The news had spread so quickly.


    She just signed up not long ago, and now everyone knew about it. It was probably Jenson who


    spread the news.


    Seeing Helen was silent, Taylor asked, "Helly, why did you participate in the Math Olympiad? You''ve


    obtained so many academic degrees. I don''t think you''ll care about a small award."


    She originally wanted to hide her wisdom. Unexpectedly, Jenson put her in this situation.


    She shrugged. "It''s hard to exin. But there is something I want to ask you about."


    "What''s it?" Taylor immediately pricked up his ears when he heard that there was something he


    could help.


    "I saw my photo in Chandler''s study yesterday. Did he ask you about me?"

 Chapter 13

    Chapter 13


    "Oh, about this matter!" Taylor patted his chest. "Don''t worry. I did not reveal your identity. You can


    rx."


    "Okay." Helen reminded him, "From now on, we can only contact each other privately. If anyone


    sees us, the Newtons will suspect me."


    "Okay," he agreed before leaving.


    Before Taylor had gone far, Helen turned around and saw Jenson walking this way. Her heart


    skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the document.


    After being startled for a while, she calmly walked past him back to the ssroom.


    Unexpectedly, the difficulty level of the Math Olympiad was so low. She had thought highly of this


    school.


    She nced through the question bank several times before stuffing it into the drawer. It seemed


    like she did not have to worry about the Math Olympiad.


    ...


    Before the Math Olympiad, the school specially tutored the participants, including Yvette and


    Jenson.


    Helen always saw Yvette approaching Jenson under the guise of learning, but he cruelly rejected


    her every time.


    The week of tutoring passed quickly, and the Math Olympiad began. The ssmates were full of


    confidence in Yvette.


    "She was the number onest year. There is no doubt that she''ll get the same result this year. It''s


    boring!"


    "Yeah, it would be great if someone could rece her. I can''t stand her arrogance!"


    It turned out that everyone felt jealous of whoever got the first ce.


    Not wanting to cause trouble, Helen deliberately left thest question nk. Yet, she still won first


    ce, leaving her speechless.


    The ssmates were surprised when she won first ce. As she grew up in the countryside, they


    did not expect her grades to be so good.


    Yvette had always been number one in the school but was still far behind Helen.


    Gerard was extremely emotional when he saw the Math Olympiad results. He had been teaching for


    many years but had never met such a talented student.


    So, after hearing the news, he couldn''t wait to show off his teaching achievements before the


    principal.


    The school took it very seriously and held amendation ceremony for Helen.


    ...


    At themendation ceremony, the principal and Gerard talked for more than an hour before letting


    Helen give a speech. They firmly believed that she would be Aguilisco''s top scorer in the


    college entrance examination, and they should pay attention to her future studies.


    ¡°Let''s give a round of apuse to wee the winner in this Math Olympiadpetition, Helen


    Spencer!"


    Under the gaze of thousands of people, Helen took the stage.


    The students apuded enthusiastically, wondering what the legendary genius student would look


    like. But soon, they saw a tanned, ugly girl on stage.


    The top student was indeed different. She must be focused on studying and had no time to take


    care of her appearance. Disappointed, the boysforted themselves with such a thought.


    Gerard smiled awkwardly before inviting Helen up on stage to summarize her learning experience.


    Helen went on stage, ready to recite the speech she had written the day before. Then, she saw a


    familiar figure in the audience.


    Her mouth twitched. Why was Chandler here? She heard that only Esmond wasing.


    She was stunned for a while. But when she looked over again, he was no longer there. She blinked,


    thinking it was an illusion, so she didn''t pay much attention to it.


    Returning to her senses, she started her speech.


    She spoke eloquently, without making any mistakes in every word. After all, she was used to


    receiving awards frequently. She had even attendedrger asions before.


    Looking at the energetic speaker on the stage, Chandler was in a daze.


    After listening to her speech, he didn''t stay for a second longer and left quietly.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.

    Chapter 14


    Looking at Helen on the stage receiving the award, Jenson still couldn''t believe it. She clearly said


    she only knew a little bit! Was she deliberately hiding her strength?


    After the longmendation ceremony, Helen felt tired. She had listened to the principal''s


    summary for a full hour after her speech. Her legs were already numb.


    Jenson brought the Math Olympiad questions to test her. "Solve these questions! Or I won''t believe


    your ability!"


    Shezily took the questions, nced at them, and started solving them. Jenson carefully watched


    her problem-solving process.


    As a result, she got full marks, and some of her solutions were even simpler than the reference


    answers.


    He was shocked and speechless. Then, he pointed to one of the questions and asked, "This is the


    last question of the Math Olympiad. You know how to solve it. Why did you leave it nk?"


    Helen deliberately did not solve thest question, so she didn''t even read the question.


    "I had no time to solve it," she lied.


    Although Jenson secretly admired her, he still said rudely, "I can also solve them well if I want to!


    Don''t think you''re smarter than me!"


    Esmond was happy after seeing themendation ceremony. "Helen, you''re worthy of being my


    future granddaughter-inw!"


    Helen smiled awkwardly.


    "In that case, can you tutor Jenson?"


    "I don''t have objections. It depends on his will."


    She let Jenson answer instead, and he said confidently, "Grandpa, as long as I''m serious, I can


    learn it myself!"


    "I know you can learn well, but..."


    Jenson struggled to resist but was persuaded by Esmond. From that day on, Helen taught him


    different math questions.


    ...


    "Here are the new questions. Solve them."


    Jenson snorted, taking the exercise book that Helen threw over.


    Reading the questions, he said casually, "I''m smart and quick-witted. After the tutoring, I don''t even


    bother to solve these questions."


    She shrugged, feeling helpless. "You''re indeed arrogant."


    After school, when he saw her walking out of the ssroom alone, he followed her and shouted,


    "Chandler will pick us upter! Where are you going?"


    "Restroom." Helen heard people around her whispering and felt very irritated.


    They said she was lucky to stay with Jenson! She''d like to give them this kind of luck!


    But she onlyined about it inwardly. The Newtons'' admirers would scold her if she told them


    her real thoughts.


    "Then I''ll go downstairs first. I''ll wait for you at the school gate."


    Helen ignored him and continued walking until she met Yvette around the corner.


    "What''s the matter?" She had received Yvette''s note before ss ended. Hence, she came to meet


    Yvette.


    "I''ve always seen you getting close to Jenson. Do you like him?" Yvette sobbed.


    Helen was a little helpless. "It''s just your illusion."


    She choked and was stunned for a moment before asking, "You don''t like Jenson?"


    Seeing Helen nodding, Yvette looked shy and said coyly, "Then, can you help me pursue Jenson?"


    Yvette was a top student. If she were together with Jenson, Helen wouldn''t have to help him with


    tutoring in the future.

    "How can I help you?"


    Seeing that she agreed, Yvette turned around with a sly smile. "Let''s go to a quiet ce. There are


    too many people here. I can''t talk about the details."


    Failing to notice her expression, Helen followed her without vignce.

    Chapter 15


    Chandler saw Jensone down alone and asked in puzzlement, "Where''s Helen?"


    "She''s gone back," he smiled yfully.


    Aware that Jenson was joking, Chandler asked more seriously, "Where is she?"


    As Jenson failed to fool Chandler, he could only tell the truth, "She went to the restroom."


    "We''ll wait for her here."


    Displeased, Jenson got in the car. After ying several games, he still didn''t see Helening


    down. He muttered subconsciously, "Why is Helen so slow?"


    Seeing that it was gettingte, Chandler began to worry. "Do you have her phone number?"


    "I thought that country bumpkin was so poor that she didn''t have a phone. Try to ask others."


    Chandler called the rest of his brothers, but no one knew how to contact her.


    So, he used all his connections to find Helen. A country bumpkin probably wouldn''t wander around


    in the city. He hoped nothing would happen to her.


    Uneasiness spread, and he began to worry about her. If something happened...


    "Didn''t I ask you to watch over her at school?"


    Jenson was startled by his sudden words. Chandler''s temper had never changed much. But today,


    he was angry.


    Sensing his brother''s anger, Jenson felt aggrieved. "How could I go to the female restroom with


    her?"


    Noticing that he was losing hisposure, Chandler said coldly, "I''ve sent people to look for her. I


    hope she only got lost."


    ...


    Helen had lost consciousness. When she woke up, she couldn''t see around and couldn''t speak. Her


    hands were tied, her eyes blindfolded, and something stuffed in her mouth.


    She was in an unknown ce that exuded a lifeless smell. Usually, no one came to this kind of


    ce.


    But she calmed down quickly. Fortunately, her phone was still in her shirt pocket. They probably


    didn''t expect that she had a mobile phone.


    At that moment, a vague female voice came from outside. "Deal with her well. After you seed, I''ll


    help you to go overseas."


    Helen still wondered when the door creaked open, apanied by several footsteps. As the wind


    blew in from outside, she felt a little cold.


    "Without looking at her face, she looks like a beauty from her figure," the man squatted down and


    tutted.


    Yvette mocked, "I didn''t expect you to like this ugly country bumpkin."


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Ms. Smith, I was just joking," he said in a ttering manner.


    Looking at the bundled Helen, she sneered. "This is your consequence of approaching Jenson!


    You''re not qualified to be with him!"


    Hearing the familiar voice, Helen realized that it was Yvette. Could it be that Yvette was jealous of


    her getting close to Jenson?


    Before Helen could react, a p hit her face, causing the thing stuffed in her mouth to fall out.


    "You''re not worthy of the scions of the Newtons!"


    She was caught off guard. Feeling the pain, she knew she had no time to think much. It was more


    important for her to escape.


    So, she pretended to be scared, but her hand secretly approached the phone in her shirt pocket.


    "What do you want?"


    "I want your life!" Yvette grabbed her chin hard and said fiercely.


    The man next to her was shocked. "When you asked me to help, she didn''t say you wanted to kill


    anyone!"


    "Just kidding. We just need to let her know what she shouldn''t covet!" Yvette smiled evilly.


    Then, Helen got kicked by Yvette. While falling, she used her strength to touch a button on her


    phone, sessfully sending out a call for help.


    Just kidding? This would not end well for them!

    Chapter 16


    On the other side, Taylor''s phone rang, and he felt something was wrong. This notification tone


    would only ring when something happened to Helen.


    He quickly opened the phone software, and the message clearly showed that she had been


    kidnapped.


    "My poor Helly!" Looking at her position on the map, Taylor pretended to be sad, sighing.


    "It seems that Helly has many enemies in school. I can only find a rescuer for her."


    He was about to send her location to Chandler. But after thinking about their previous grudge, he


    worried that Chandler would expose her identity. So, he sent a message to Jenson through an


    anonymous ount.


    "Helly, you must be safe!"


    ...


    Jenson was asking all his friends to find Helen when he suddenly received an anonymous


    message. He was stunned.


    "Chandler, someone sent me a location saying that Helen is there. Should we go there?"


    Chandler took the phone, feeling doubtful. But he decided to give it a try. "Let''s go there. What if it''s


    true?"


    Even if it were fake, he would still go take a look!


    Chandler got out of the car and ran to the map location. Jenson hurriedly chased after him.


    Following the location, they arrived at a secluded corner of the school. It was an abandoned


    dormitory building that had been in disrepair for many years.


    No one would discover it if someone hid people here.


    Chandler walked into the dormitory building, opening the doors of each room, anxiously looking for


    Helen.


    Jenson followed him while panting, feeling a little ashamed. Although he usually liked to quarrel with


    her, he wouldn''t forgive himself if something happened to her.


    ...


    Helen could taste the blood in her mouth, feeling fishy every time she spoke, "Ms. Smith, how dare


    you kidnap me!"


    She shouted on purpose to dy, "I really can''t think of any reason. Why do you hate me so


    much?"


    Yvette sneered. "Do you really not know the reason? You snatched away my first ce! You''re also


    so close to Jenson!"


    "Only you will treasure this first ce. I don''t even want it!"


    Yvette was pissed off, feeling humiliated. She wanted to p Helen again.


    Just then, there was a loud bang. The door suddenly opened, and Yvette turned around in fright.


    The man on her side rushed forward to stop them. "Who are you?"


    Jenson rushed forward to knock the man to the ground. Chandler pushed Yvette away and walked


    straight to Helen.


    She was blindfolded, and her hands were tied. She was huddled in the corner like a wounded deer.


    He couldn''t help but want to protect her.


    Jenson was in disbelief. "Yvette, what have you done!"


    "Jenson, I..."


    He didn''t want to hear her exnation, so he interrupted her, "No need to exin! I don''t want to


    hear it!"


    Chandler looked at Helen in his arms, and his voice turned a little colder.


    "I don''t want to know what happened between you two. But since you hurt Helen, I won''t let you get


    away with it!"


    After Jenson punched the man several times to vent his anger, he left with Chandler.


    Frightened by the scene, Yvette took out her phone in a panic to make a call.


    "What should I do? Chandler rescued Helen!"


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Rescued?"


    The woman on the other end of the phone was a little shocked, but she calmed down soon. "Just do


    as I say. We''re in the same boat now. I''ll help you."

 Chapter 17

    Chapter 17


    Chandler looked at Helen. Her lips were pale, sweat broke out on her forehead, and she moaned in


    pain weakly. Her eyes were closed as if she was unconscious, but she was clutching his clothes


    tightly.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Helen had heard the faint sound of the door opening earlier, so she deliberately angered Yvette. It


    turned out that she was right.


    She took a deep breath, feeling that her face still hurt a little.


    Chandler gently put her in the back seat, asking softly, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"


    She was a little stunned. "No."


    He frowned but said nothing, driving her back to Newton Residence.


    ...


    Returning to the room, Helen took out her phone and saw dozens of messages from Taylor.


    "Helly, how are you? Were you saved?"


    She replied, "Yes, but I was hurt."


    He made a crying emoji and wrote, "Helly, you''re so miserable! Do you need my help?"


    "I can handle it myself. You don''t need to follow up."


    "Okay, call me if you need anything," Taylor replied tteringly.


    After Helen finally finished messaging him, she made a phone call.


    The other party was angry after hearing what had happened to her. "Yvette Smith, right? I''ll take


    care of the aftermath!"


    "Thank you then," Helen coquettishly said.


    "By the way, Helly, I''ll be at Aguilisco to meet an old friend. I''ll see you then!" the person on the


    other end of the phone said dotingly.


    "Okay, I''ll take you around to have fun then!"


    Just then, someone knocked on the door. Helen put away her phone, opened the door in confusion,


    and saw Chandler''s cold face.


    "Doctor, here is the patient. Please check on her."


    "Ms. Spencer, could you please let us in?"


    "Sure," Helen said. Seeing the family doctor bring medical equipment, she couldn''t refuse, so she


    let the doctore in.


    The doctor gave her some simple treatment, finding that she had no serious injuries, and then


    prescribed her some medicine.


    "Nothing serious has been found so far. You''ll be fine after taking some medicine. If something


    happenster, you can do aprehensive examination."


    Helen couldn''t wait to send the doctor away. "Okay, thank you."


    After the doctor left, Chandler and Helen looked at each other. He suddenly asked, "Who were you


    talking to on the phone just now?"


    She said casually, "It was just a harassing phone call."


    He had expected to get nothing for her, so he said, "Give me your phone number. I can contact you


    in the future if needed."


    "Okay," Helen agreed quickly, wanting to drive Chandler out of the room.


    She quickly entered her phone number into his phone and gave it back to him. "Good night,


    Chandler."


    Looking at her smiling face, he reminded her, "Remember to take the medicine."


    After leaving her room, he went to the study when his assistant called, "Mr. Chandler, there''s no one


    at Smith Residence. It''s strange. Did they run away?"


    Within a few hours, the Smith family was nowhere to be found. Obviously, someone got the quick


    news and took action first.


    Chandler remembered that Helen was on the phone just now. Her tone was so happy that it didn''t


    seem like a harassing call. There must be something weird about her when she was being so


    secretive.


    The assistant continued, "Do we need to investigate their whereabouts?"


    He replied in a deep voice, "Stop investigating the Smiths first. Go investigate Helen..."

 Chapter 18

    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.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    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.


    Once Helen had dressed up, a driver took her to the old mansion.


    ...


    Chandler and Jenson were really surprised to see how Helen appeared after dressing up. Her face


    was still dark, but a few shades lighter had made her features stand out more.


    Esmond was pleased to see Helen looking so much prettier.


    Helen didn''t like being forced into this kind of meeting. She picked a corner seat, hoping to just get


    through it.


    However, Esmond made her sit next to Tyrone. "You two, sit closer and get to know each other."


    Tyrone looked at Helen. She was dark and ugly, unlike the actresses he had worked with before. He


    forced a smile and politely said, "Hello."


    Helen didn''t even look at him. She just said, "Hello!"


    Tyrone felt annoyed. He was a big star. His fans would be thrilled to talk to him. But Helen, who


    came from the countryside, didn''t even give him a proper look.


    He tried to find a topic she might like. "Have you seen any dramas I''ve acted in?"


    Helen gave him a mocking smile and rolled her eyes. "Nope."


    Tyrone was not convinced. "Do you have a favorite actor? I could introduce you."


    Helen rolled her eyes so hard they almost went back in her head. Her aunt was an international


    movie star. Which celebrity had she not met before?


    "I''m not interested," Helen said coldly.


    Jenson noticed that Tyrone seemed interested in Helen. He felt annoyed.


    "Bro, have you be immune after seeing too many pretty actresses? Now you''re into ugly


    ones? Your taste is really weird!"

 Chapter 19

    Chapter 19


    Although snubbed by Helen, Tyrone did not give up. He continued to talk to her, "I have a fan


    meetingter. Why don''t youe and see?"


    He was usually very aloof, not saying much. Just a word or two from him would send fans into a


    frenzy.


    But this woman was putting on airs, acting all high and mighty. He wanted to prove to her that he


    was a movie star with millions of fans. His influence would be more than enough to make her back


    off.


    Helen didn''t have much else to do recently. So, she agreed to go.


    Esmond recalled the kidnapping incident before. Fearing for their safety, he asked Chandler to


    apany them. "Take good care of Helen. Make sure nothing likest time happens again."


    "Yes, Grandpa."


    ...


    "Tyrone! Tyrone! Tyrone!"


    Amid loud cheers, a figure stepped into view. Cameras shed non-stop as Tyrone walked in. He


    was wearing a sharp suit and basking in the sunlight.


    At that moment, he was shining like the brightest star.


    "Hello everyone, I''m Tyrone Newton." After wrapping up his opening remarks, he shed a


    charming smile at his fans.


    He coughed twice and leaned close to the mic. "This is my first fan meeting in Aguilisco. So, let''s


    have a little treat for you all!"


    The fans went wild. Their screams echoed in Helen''s ears.


    "You''ve all seen mytest drama, right? Today, I n to reenact a climax scene right here. I''ll pick a


    few of you to act with me." Tyrone signaled his manager to walk over.


    After receiving the instruction, the manager took out a poster. "This poster has a QR code. Scan it


    to enter a draw. The system will choose a few lucky fans toe up on stage."


    Hearing this, fans quickly took out their phones. They couldn''t wait to scan the QR code.


    "Is everyone done scanning?" The manager pointed at the QR code on the poster.


    After getting a response from the fans, he asked the assistant to move to the corner and then


    started to announce the names.


    Actually, the so-called "lucky fans" were all prearranged. Still, they acted surprised when their


    names were called.


    The manager handed out scripts and props to each fan who went up on stage. The fans below


    started buzzing again, "Who''s the leadingdy?"


    Seeing the fans react as expected, Tyrone said slowly, "To avoid making fans jealous, we''ll pick the


    leadingdy from the staff."


    Then, he pointed at Helen and raised his eyebrow yfully.


    As expected, she knew Tyrone wasn''t up to anything good when he invited her to the fan meet.


    Helen looked at Tyrone, who had a smug look on his face, and silently cursed him eight hundred


    times in her heart.


    Seeing Helen''s strange makeup, the manager was worried. After all, she wasn''t a prearranged


    actress, especially for the lead role.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    The manager whispered in her ear, "Ms. Spencer, you don''t have any dialogue. You just follow


    along with Tyrone''s performance."


    Forced to y along, Helen felt displeased but still cooperated with Tyrone for his performance.


    In the final scene, Tyrone''s eyes welled up with tears as he smiled. Then, he turned around and


    closed his eyes slowly. He was ready to face death.


    This was the most thrilling part of his new drama. Deeply immersed, the fans in the audience cried


    their hearts out.


    Then, holding a dagger, a bystander slowly approached Tyrone with a sinister smile.


    The dagger glinted in the sunlight. Sensing something was wrong, Helen immediately rushed to


    push Tyrone away.


    She reacted quickly to dodge, but the dagger still cut her delicate skin. The blood gushed out.

    Chapter 20


    Tyrone remained stunned for a moment before quickly ordering security to subdue the fake reporter.


    Looking at the bleeding wound, Tyrone furrowed his brows. "Are you okay?"


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Helen gave a wry smile. "You should take care of your fans first."


    Tyrone nodded and signaled his manager.


    "Sorry, today''s fan meeting is canceled. We''ll meet next time."


    The fans yelled and protested, but the manager had security surrounding them.


    Tyrone then supported Helen and took her to the makeup room.


    ...


    The stack of files was tossed onto the makeup room''s table with a loud "thump", scattering papers


    everywhere.


    The manager was trembling. "We''ve figured it out. It was done by one of your anti-fans."


    Tyrone was furious. "How could you let this happen? How did someone manage to bring a knife to


    the fan meeting?"


    "I''m sorry. It was a prop for the acting performance. So, we didn''t check properly." The manager felt


    guilty about it.


    Chandler sat on the side, looking at the injured Helen. His heart felt heavy as if it were entangled by


    an invisible thread that drew him closer to her. The thread tightened inch by inch.


    "Enough, I''m taking her to the hospital. You handle your matters properly," Chandler said coldly, his


    voice tinged with anger.


    With that, he bent down and lifted Helen into his arms, carrying her out of the makeup room.


    The manager waited for Chandler to leave before speaking about the following matter. He handed


    his phone to Tyrone and asked, "How should we deal with this?"


    After canceling the fan meeting, Helen was criticized online by the crazed fans. Soon, she became


    the most talked-about topic on social media, flooded with negativements about her.


    "That woman was totally in cahoots with the attacker. She couldn''t snag the star''s attention. So, she


    yed this sympathy card."


    "Such a clever scheme!"


    The manager considered for a moment and said, "How about I find a good PR team to issue a


    statement?"


    "No need."


    Tyrone quickly typed out a Twitter post. "Helen Spencer saved me. Please stop spreading rumors


    and let her live in peace!"


    The manager took the phone and looked puzzled. "You''ve never posted about anyone on Twitter.


    Why are you being so impulsive? You might lose fans. This is a crucial time for your career."


    Tyrone''s voice grew stern. "Don''t think you can tell me what to do just because you''re my manager.


    If you weren''t my brother''s rmendation, I would have reced you long ago."


    It had been a long time since someone had been so kind to him. Helen had rushed over to push him


    away and got hurt, yet she smiled at him. He couldn''t bear to see such a girl being attacked and


    insulted like this.


    ...


    After taking Helen to the hospital, the doctor did a full check-up. "Fortunately, it''s just a minor injury,


    no damage to your tendons or bones. Some medicine should fix it right up."


    As soon as she stepped out of the orthopedics department, she saw Chandler sitting on a bench at


    the entrance. He stared at her with a slight frown. "I''ve never seen anyone as foolish as you."


    "What do you mean?" Helen was confused. Was he angry? Why would he be mad when she was


    the one hurt?


    "Do you think you aren''t injured enough? You had to throw yourself into danger!"


    After saying that, Chandler paused for a moment. He realized he was unexpectedly worried about


    her.


    Even though he was worried about her, it sounded like he was ming her. Helen felt wronged and


    didn''t know what to say.


    Just then, a nurse came over with the prescription, breaking the deadlock. "Are you her boyfriend?


    This is anti-inmmatory medicine. Could you help her apply it?"


    Chandler frowned but didn''t say anything.


    The nurse couldn''t read his expression. She put her hands on her hips and scolded him, "I heard


    you two arguing just now. Your girlfriend is injured.


    "Is this the time to argue? If you don''t treat the wound now, it might get infected."


    Chandler remained silent. He took the medicine from the nurse''s hand with a cold face.


    Seeing the nurse scold him, Helen felt like she had scored a point. She said to the nurse with a


    smile, "Thank you, you''re so kind."

 Chapter 21

    Chapter 21


    Chandler had no intention to talk much. His deep voice broke the silence. "Sit still. I''ll apply the


    medicine."


    Helen stubbornly refused, "I don''t want you to do it."


    Chandler paused, and his expression became hard to read.


    Seeing Chandler staring at her, Helen didn''t back down but stared back at him. Unexpectedly, he


    suddenly leaned in closer.


    "What are you doing?" Helen''s heart raced, her eyes wide with shock.


    Chandler had been looking at Helen, seemingly lost in thought. He unconsciously moved closer.


    When he realized it, he immediately stepped back and spoke with his usual cold tone, "You''re not


    thinking straight. If we wait any longer, the wound could get infected."


    His words made sense and were firm. Helen obediently stretched out her hand.


    Chandler used scissors to cut open the fabric near the wound. Her bare skin was fair, much brighter


    than her face. He chuckled and said nothing as he continued applying the medicine.


    He recalled the different side of Helen he had seen in the bedroom, leaving him deep in thought.


    There must be something fishy going on.


    Helen turned her head away, clenching her jaw to prevent making a sound.


    Chandler noticed Helen furrowed her brows. So, he applied the medicine more gently. "Alright, all


    done. Rest well, and try not to go out much for a while."


    Hearing this, Helen was puzzled.


    "You messed up Tyrone''s fan meeting. His fans won''t let you off easily."


    "What kind of logic is that? I saved their idol, and now they want to target me?" Helen couldn''t


    understand the crazy logic of those fans.


    "You''re staying in the hospital for now." Chandler didn''t want to exin further. "If you need


    anything, just let me or Jenson know."


    Thinking about the incident that happened earlier, Helen felt uneasy. Staying in the hospital didn''t


    seem too bad. She could stay away from the Newton family.


    "Well, alright then."


    ...


    So, Helen stayed in the VIP ward arranged by Chandler. She woke up to the smell of disinfectant


    every day. She never thought she could hate hospitals this much.


    One day, while she was daydreaming, the door to her room suddenly opened. A woman in good


    shape walked in.


    Helen was trying to figure out who the woman was. Then, the woman took off her disguise. Helen


    saw a familiar face.


    "Aunt Molly, what are you doing here?"


    It was none other than the international superstar, Molly Spencer!


    Molly''s thick golden curls casually draped over her shoulders. Her thick eyshes, alluring eyes,


    and plump lips exuded charm all the time.


    She blinked those mesmerizing eyes and said softly, "Helly?"


    Helen forgot she was in disguise. So, it made sense that Molly didn''t recognize her right away. She


    took quite some time to exin everything to Molly.


    "I get it now." Molly nodded.


    "Oh, by the way, Aunt Molly, how did you know I was injured?" Helen was shocked. Did the news


    reach abroad?

    "Your grandpa told me you were hurt. He asked me toe back to check on you so he could be at


    ease."


    "Grandpa? I haven''t seen him in a long time. How''s he doing?" Helen murmured to herself.


    "Don''t worry. Your grandpa is in good health."


    Molly poked Helen with her hand and continued, "But you, why don''t you take better care of


    yourself? You got seriously hurt before trying to protect someone else. Don''t rush into danger next


    time."


    Helen hugged Molly and said in a honeyed tone. "Got it, Aunt Molly."


    Just as Helen was about to chat more with Molly, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

 Chapter 22

    Chapter 22


    The person who came in first was Jenson. He came striding in and grumbling, "Can''t we take turns


    visiting? Why alle at once?"


    After a few steps, he suddenly froze. "Holy... Isn''t that Molly Spencer, the famous international


    actress?"


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Hearing this, the Newton family members following him were also stunned.


    Tyrone recognized the true identity of the woman next to Helen. He was so shocked that he almost


    dropped the gift he was carrying.


    Everyone seemed quite startled except for Chandler, who looked stern. He was beginning to


    suspect Helen''s identity.


    Helen was also startled. She didn''t know how to break the awkward silence.


    Molly patted Helen gently and stood up. She brushed her hair aside and introduced herself.


    "Hello, I am Helen''s aunt."


    "Aunt?" Tyrone couldn''t believe his eyes. No wonder Helen paid no attention to him earlier. It turned


    out her aunt was an international superstar.


    He felt quite foolish for saying he could introduce any celebrity to her. Recalling this, he felt so


    embarrassed.


    Chandler looked at Helen, who was avoiding eye contact with him. He took a moment to collect his


    thoughts.


    Then, he walked up slowly and extended his hand politely. "Hello! Are you also here to visit Helen?"


    "I just returned to the country and came to see her." Molly reached out and shook his hand.


    She observed the man in front of her. His gaze remained steady and calm as he looked at her.


    Molly considered him aposed and decent man who seemed to be quite a good match for Helly.


    Molly spoke like an elder, "Are you here to see Helly? Well, Helly is the apple of my dad''s eye. The


    whole family''s been worried sick about her injury."


    "Sorry to have worried you. It won''t happen again." Chandler felt guilty about Helen''s injury because


    he hadn''t been careful enough.


    "That''s very kind of you. Please take care of Helly." Molly smiled when she heard Chandler''s


    promise.


    She then walked back to Helen''s side and teased her, "Helly, I must say, the scion of the Newton


    family is quite the looker. You two make a perfect couple."


    Chandler''s face turned colder upon hearing this.


    "Aunt Molly, this..." Helen blushed and stammered awkwardly.


    The small hospital room was already crowded, and now the atmosphere turned even more


    awkward.


    "Now that Helen''s aunt is here, we should be good hosts." Zac, who had been silent, suddenly


    spoke in a gentle tone. He looked up and met Helen''s gaze directly.


    That look waspletely different from Chandler''s. There was a twinkle in his eyes.


    Zac''s gaze shifted to Chandler. His tone was still calm and gentle, "Chandler, what do you think?"


    Chandler responded briefly, "Fine, you handle it."


    Helen looked at Zac. On the surface, he and Chandler were brothers. But they resembled more like


    superior and subordinate, perhaps due to theirpany roles.


    Zac suddenly spoke, his voice carrying the warmth of a smile, "Would Ms. Spencer care to join us


    for dinner?"


    Dinner!


    Helen felt a surge of excitement. After days of nd meals and ackluster appetite, she was more


    than ready for a delicious feast.


    "Of course!" Helen agreed without hesitation.


    Molly looked at Helen and felt a bit worried. "But can Helly get out of bed so soon after being


    injured?"


    "I once read in a divination book that mingling with people helps speed up recovery," Zac said


    nonchntly.


    Mingling with people helped speed up recovery? Only Molly, who spent most of her time abroad,


    might believe such nonsense.


    But Helen still gratefully winked at Zac as if to say, "Thank you!"


    ...


    The atmosphere at the dinner table quickly warmed up. However, Helen couldn''t shake the feeling


    that this meal felt less like a wee back and more like an audition for her aunt''s future nephew-


    inw.


    "Chandler, Helly''s hand hasn''t fully healed yet. Could you help her with the dishes that are farther


    away?"


    And so, while Helen was still nibbling on a sausage, a piece of pork belly suddenly appeared on her


    te.


    Chandler said dryly from the side, "You''re wee!"


    "What nonsense are you talking about? I hate fat the most. How could you pick such a big piece?"


    Helen screamed silently in her mind.


    Helen rested her chin on her hand, casually scanning the room. Everyone seemed to enjoy the


    lively conversation except for her and Chandler.

 Chapter 23

    Chapter 23


    "Are you not feeling well?"


    Helen was stunned. She didn''t expect that Chandler would suddenly be concerned about her.


    Before she could respond, Molly chimed in, "Helly''s wound hasn''t fully healed yet. Why don''t you


    take her back to the hospital first?"


    The implication was clear. Molly was trying to set her up with Chandler.


    Helen was speechless. Why did everyone think she liked Chandler?


    "Okay." Chandler had no reason to refuse.


    "Sorry to trouble you," Helen said with a wry smile. She looked at Chandler, whose expression


    remained unchanged.


    Helen felt very embarrassed. What Molly did just now made it seem like she couldn''t find a


    husband.


    As Chandler drank some wine at dinner, he called for a designated driver.


    Later, Helen and Chandler sat together in the back seat. Helen unconsciously shifted to the side


    before moving a little further again.


    Chandler frowned at her. "Do I scare you that much?"


    Helenughed awkwardly, "I''m just worried you might crease my dress."


    Chandler tilted his head to look at her and smiled slightly. "Is that so?"


    Did he just smile? Helen thought she saw it wrong. But his smile seemed a bit intimidating.


    Helen choked as she saw his smile. She tried hard to focus on something else instead of Chandler''s


    presence next to her.


    She soon fell asleep.


    In a drowsy state, Helen saw a familiar signboard sh by andpletely forgot Chandler was


    beside her. "Stop here, I want to eat spaghetti."


    By the time Helen remembered there was someone beside her, it was toote.


    Chandler stayed silent for a moment, then instructed the driver, "Go back to that shop we just


    passed."


    So, the driver made a U-turn and stopped in front of an old signboard.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Sorry, this won''t take long." Helen swiftly got out of the car and headed straight to the shop.


    "I''ll have these add-ons," Helen ordered one of everything without hesitation. Then, she noticed


    someone was standing behind her.


    "You got out too?"


    Chandler responded, "I''m hungry too. Is that okay?"


    "Sure, sure." Helen wiped her sweat and scanned the QR code with her phone. "I''ll have one more


    of everything I just ordered, please."


    The boss quickly prepared two portions and handed them to Helen.


    "This one''s for you." Helen gave one to Chandler.


    Chandler frowned. Actually, he wasn''t hungry.


    Helen exined patiently, "Just a token of thanks for your family hosting my aunt for dinner. If you


    think this is too cheap, I can treat you to a fancy meal next time."


    Chandler nced at the spaghetti. He took it and said indifferently, "No need."


    Helen lowered her head and feasted on the spaghetti. Indeed, delicious foods were often hidden in


    inconspicuous street corners.


    Chandler looked at her. His ice-cold demeanor softened a little, and his tone became more gentle


    as he said, "Pack it up, please."


    Helen thought that he was wasting the food. She said, "Don''t you know food tastes best when it''s


    hot?"


    "I didn''t," Chandler said.


    Dumbfounded, Helen continued to eat her spaghetti.


    After dropping Helen back at the hospital, Chandler looked at the spaghetti. He wondered if it could


    taste that good.


    He nced at the bag before opening it and was surprised that the spaghetti was still warm. He


    was doubtful about it. He took a small bite and chewed slowly.


    "Actually, it''s quite tasty."


    ...

 Chapter 24

    Chapter 24


    Chandler had not noticed he felt more rxed, showing his mood had uplifted.


    He ate the spaghetti bit by bit. Soon, the te was empty, which left him wanting more.


    His lips slightly curved upwards. He had forgotten his initial reluctance.


    Helen''s unique taste in food had taken him by surprise.


    ¡­


    The next day, Helen woke to the smell of disinfectant.


    She was surprised to see Chandler sitting on a chair by her bed. With his legs crossed, his posture


    was rxed yet posed a sense of elegance.


    Her gaze lingered on him for a few seconds before she asked in surprise, "What are you doing


    here?"


    Chandler looked up, and their eyes met.


    "You''re awake. Good. Get ready, we should head back."


    Helen''s face lit up with joy at his words. She forgot to ask why Chandler was there.


    "So I can go back to school? That''s wonderful!" she said cheerfully.


    She had been bored during her extended stay in the hospital.


    Seeing her delight, Chandler stood up tactfully and nced at the takeout box on the table.


    "Pack up and eat your breakfast. I''ll handle your discharge paperwork."


    Helen noticed the takeout box, which looked familiar.


    Wasn''t that the spaghetti fromst night?


    "You..." Before she could finish, Chandler had already left the room.


    Helen looked at the box again and touched its warm surface. Her brow furrowed in confusion.


    Then it dawned on her.


    Esmond must have been the reason why Chandler acted this way.


    After packing, Helen ate her favorite spaghetti.


    When Chandler returned afterpleting the paperwork, they left the hospital together.


    Helen sat in the back seat of the car. The car started slowly and moved away.


    Soon, her phone rang. It was her aunt, Molly Spencer.


    She answered the phone happily, "Good morning, Aunt Molly!"


    "Your voice tells me you''re in a good mood today," Molly teased.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    "What are you talking about, Aunt Molly? When am I ever not in a good mood? I''m always cheerful,"


    Helen replied.


    "Yes, my dear Helen! There''s something I forgot to tell you yesterday about the Newton boys.


    Chandler seems like a reliable guy. You should take the chance and maybe make him your


    husband."


    Helen nced at Chandler, feeling a bit guilty. She blushed as she lowered her voice.


    "Aunt Molly, what are you saying? There''s nothing like that between us."


    Mollyughed heartily.


    "Well, not now doesn''t mean not ever. I quite like that young man. He''s worthy of you."


    Helen was at a loss for words.


    "Aunt Molly!"

 Chapter 25

    Chapter 25


    Aunt Molly replied, "Alright, I know you''re young and might feel shy about these matters. I


    understand. But this concerns your future, so you must take it seriously.


    "To me, Chandler seems like a good match. But it also depends on whether he''s the right one for


    you and if he can win your heart.


    "As for everything else, I can only advise you. I can''t make decisions for you. No matter what, as


    long as it''s your choice, I''ll support you."


    Helen knew Molly meant well. "I understand, Aunt Molly. Don''t worry!"


    "That''s good to hear. I have some things to take care of these next few days, so I won''t be able to


    visit. Call me if you need anything."


    After hanging up, Helen put her phone back in her pocket.


    Chandler nced at her meaningfully through the rearview mirror.


    Any fondness he had for her had vanished.


    Molly''s voice was loud. Though he hadn''t heard everything, one tends to be extra sensitive to their


    name.


    He knew the conversation had been about him.


    Yet, looking at Helen''s expression, it seemed she was reluctant to talk about him.


    Chandler looked away and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He stepped on the elerator


    and sped away.


    ...


    After dropping Helen off at school, Chandler left without a word.


    Before entering the school, Helen watched Chandler drive away. She did not ponder over his


    behavior much, thinking it was just the way Chandler was.


    Due to the fan meeting incident, Helen became quite notorious.


    Every fan of Tyrone at the school despised her.


    If Tyrone hadn''t posted on social media requesting people not to trouble Helen, she would have had


    a hard time at school.


    Though the fans couldn''t do anything openly, they had caused trouble for her in secret.


    For instance, the "Ugly Girl List" that had appeared on the school forum had Helen''s name at the


    top.


    But Helen remained unaware of this. She sat at her desk, minding her own business.


    asionally, there would be somemotion outside the ssroom and curious nces thrown


    her way.


    "Hey, ugly, how can you sit there so calmly? Or have you lost all confidence in your looks and


    be immune to us?" Jenson teased with a careless demeanor.


    Without changing her expression, Helen replied, "Our appearance is a gift from our parents. I prefer


    an interesting soul over a pretty shell."


    Hearing this, Jensonughed openly.


    Helen must be joking, he thought. With her in Jane looks, how dare she im to have an


    interesting soul?


    Helen ignored him and took out a Math Olympiad workbook to start solving problems.


    Since she had topped thest Math Olympiad exam, the math teacher had rmended her for a


    regional-levelpetition.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    She had initially refused but eventually agreed under the persistent persuasion of her teacher.


    Seeing his words having no effect on Helen, Jenson felt annoyed.


    Watching Helen seriously solve math problems, he couldn''t help but taunt her again.


    "What, giving up on the beauty persona and trying for the nerd one? Last time was just luck that got


    you first ce. Don''t get too full of yourself!"


    Helen frowned slightly and coldly retorted, "Why are you so noisy!"


    Her response angered Jenson, especially seeing Helen''s face, which he found extremely


    unattractive.


    Without any reservations, he snatched the workbook from her hands.


    "Stop pretending! Ugly, is it fun for you to act like a nerd? I heard you''re going to the regional Math


    Olympiadpetition.


    "With your level, you should just give up. There''s always someone better out there. Don''t embarrass


    yourself."

 Chapter 26

    Chapter 26


    Helen found Jenson''s childishness somewhat endearing. Why should it matter to him whether she


    joined the Math Olympiad? It was as if her loss would be his.


    "Give me back my book!" Helen was getting angry.


    But Jenson, the simpleton, didn''t care.


    "I won''t give them back! Just won''t!"


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Helenughed, and her anger started to fade.


    So he wanted to y?


    She''d y along.


    "So you''re sure I''m going to embarrass myself? What if I''m the champion?"


    Helen''s words made Jensonugh uncontrobly.


    He knew the caliber of students who participated in the Math Olympiad. They were born to excel in


    academics, never pausing in their studies, which is how they reached such heights.


    And here was Helen, a country girl who got lucky to win a minor school-levelpetition. She was


    thinking too highly of herself.


    The difference between her and those born for academics was vast.


    "Helen, don''t even talk about getting first prize. Even if you win any prize, I''ll let you say my name


    backward."


    Jenson was confident that winning an award in the Math Olympiad wasn''t for the likes of Helen.


    "Oh, is that so? Let''s make a bet then," Helen proposed.


    Jenson hesitated. He was starting to have some doubts. What if Helen''s luck was so good she won


    a participation prize?


    "Let''s be clear. A participation prize doesn''t count. It has to be first, second, or third," Jenson added.


    Helen''s smirk pierced through Jenson''s doubts.


    "Sure! But are you certain you want to take on this bet? Or is it just all talk on your end?"


    Jenson couldn''t stand being challenged.


    "Let''s bet. What''s the wager?"


    Seeing her provocation work, Helen raised the stakes.


    "If I win first ce, you have to get out of my sight whenever you see me. But you have to call me


    ''boss'' if we are not alone."


    Upon seeing how confident Helen was, Jenson no longer had any hesitation.


    "Deal. But let me be clear. If you lose, you leave the Newton family and return to whatever vige


    you came from."


    "Deal."


    They reached an agreement, unaware of the implications.


    Jenson was convinced Helen would lose. Once she was gone, he was relieved that he wouldn''t


    have to deal with her ugliness.


    The thought brought a smile to his face. He returned the workbook to Helen without further ado.


    Of course, he couldn''t resist sharing the news in their WhatsApp group.


    Jenson: "Guys, great news! The ugly freak Helen is finally leaving! Celebration time!"


    Tyrone: "Are you serious?"


    Jenson: "Trust me, it won''t be long. Don''t forget to buy me a drink when the timees."


    Tyrone: "So you''re making a sacrifice to get rid of her?"


    Jenson: "Stop it. I''m not that desperate. I''m using the power of justice to make her back off."

 Chapter 27

    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 g. 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 oue clear to any discerning eye.


    Yet, Chandler unexpectedly found himself hoping that Helen wouldn''t lose.


    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 feltpelled 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


    ce with his skills."


    Chandler was like a god to them.


    Winning first ce was expected for someone like him.


    Helen, on the other hand, was in apletely 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 alsopeted 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 hepeted 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 Olympiadpetition.


    "What have you been busy withtely?"


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    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 toze 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."

 Chapter 28

    Chapter 28


    Helen foundfort in Taylor''s understanding. She put away her phone and dove back into the sea


    of problems.


    She gradually discovered the joy of tackling difficult questions.


    Meanwhile, Chandler''s mood hit rock bottom after being rejected.


    His assistant reported cautiously, "Mr. Newton, the invitation was declined."


    Chandler stopped what he was doing. His brow furrowed deeply as he recalled the scene at the


    racetrack.


    The woman''s graceful figure and confident demeanor lingered in his mind.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    He had been searching for her ever since. But it was as if she had vanished without a trace.


    She remained indifferent despite his willingness to pay a fortune for a rematch. But her indifference


    only intensified Chandler''s interest in her.


    "Increase the offer to fifty million. We must find her."


    "Yes, Mr. Newton." The assistant wiped his forehead and quietly left.


    That left Chandler alone in the spacious office. He looked out the window in thought.


    After a moment, he opened a drawer and took out a CD. Then, he inserted it into theputer.


    The screen disyed a racing video from an international race in Furine three years ago. A racer


    from Choloot named Sutton had won and made international headlines.


    Since then, Chandler had been intrigued by Sutton, especially her 360-degree drift technique.


    But after the international race, Sutton seemed to disappear.


    Despite his efforts, Chandler found no trace of her untilst week.


    The woman''s appearance rekindled memories of Sutton.


    Could it be her?


    A deep look crossed Chandler''s eyes as he watched the screen.


    Sutton executed a perfect 360-degree drift and stopped the car smoothly. The door opened, and


    she stepped out with a slight smile which captivated Chandler.


    Just one nce felt like an eternity.


    Chandler vowed to find her, no matter what it took.


    ...


    Taylor was shocked when the offer was raised to fifty million.


    "Are you sure? Fifty million?" Taylor asked for confirmation.


    Upon getting a positive response, Taylor was stunned.


    But as he remembered Helen''s words, he declined again.


    "Sorry, but no. She''s been too busy recently."


    "It''s okay, Mr. Xander. If it''s about the price, we can negotiate again. We''re willing to pay any


    amount to make this happen."


    Taylor found it hard to stay calm after seeing such a response. The idea of spending such an


    amount for a friendly race was astounding.


    Taylor tapped his fingers on the table and pondered. He decided not to shut the door entirely and to


    discuss it with Helenter.


    After all, the offer was too tempting to ignore outright.

 Chapter 29

    Chapter 29


    "Alright then! We''ll discuss it further and get back to youter."


    The assistant was relieved to hear Taylor say this.


    "Good, we''ll wait for your good news."


    After hanging up, Taylor was already thinking about how to bring this up with Helen.


    But with Helen busy preparing for the Math Olympiad, it seemed best to wait until after the


    competition.


    ...


    Helen was surprised by the persistence of the other party.


    But right now, her focus was solely on the Math Olympiad.


    She was diving deep into math problem-solving daily, even during Encerian ss, which annoyed


    the Encerian teacher.


    "Helen, trante this sentence." The Encerian teacher suddenly called on Helen.


    All eyes in the ss turned to her.


    The Encerian ss representative, Anne York, couldn''t help but interject, "Ms. Suares, she''s from


    the countryside. She might not have learned Encerian before. Maybe you should speak to her in


    Cholonese."


    The ss erupted intoughter at this.


    Sally Suares, the Encerian teacher, looked at Helen with annoyance.


    "If your Encerian foundation is weak, focus instead of distracting others. With the monthly exams


    nearing, we can''t afford to fall behind as a ss."


    Helen frowned slightly but quickly nced at the content on the ckboard.


    She stood up and said, "This sentence means, ''If the world bes dark, innocence bes a


    sin.''"


    Helen''s calm and clear voice reached everyone''s ears.


    Sally was left dumbfounded. She had taken this sentence from an advanced text well beyond their


    current level. She intended to use it to dampen the students'' overconfidence.


    But Helen, seemingly unremarkable, tranted it correctly.


    "Is my trantion correct?" Helen asked calmly.


    Ms. Suares coughed to hide her embarrassment. "Absolutely correct, Helen. Please take your


    seat."


    Ms. Suares'' attitude had changed entirely, while the ss was in disbelief.


    Did the country girl know Encerian?


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Jenson was also surprised. "Helen, you''re getting better at making guesses. You even got this


    right."


    Helen rolled her eyes at him. It was only luck if she guessed right once or twice.


    But if she always did, was it still luck?


    Jenson didn''t consider this possibility. He just thought Helen was good at guessing.


    He began to worry about their bet. But then he thought, how could anyone always be that lucky?


    No one could be that lucky, especially not in the Math Olympiad. Not someone from the countryside


    like Helen.


    He must have overestimated her.


    Helen didn''t expect tranting a sentence would upset several ssmates, especially Anne.


    Before this, only Anne could answer Ms. Suares'' advanced trantion questions correctly.


    Encerian ss was her domain.


    But today, Helen had stolen her spotlight.


    Losing to someone else might have been eptable for her. But losing to Helen, the country girl,


    was a bitter pill to swallow.

    Anne''s eyes darkened as she came up with a n in mind.


    During the reading session the following day, Anne handed a lengthy Encerian article to Helen.


    "You''ll demonstrate reading this to the ss."


    Without ncing up, Helen promptly declined, "Sorry, I''m not interested."


    Anne had been confident Helen would decline. This made her even more determined to have Helen


    read Encerian.


    In their country, those without a proper environment had struggled with speaking despite taking the


    written exams.


    Helen''s spoken Encerian must be poor, Anne thought. Helen was afraid to read aloud and be


    laughed at.


    But Anne wanted precisely that, to see Helen embarrassed.


    "You must read today, or I''ll dock your conduct points," Anne threatened.


    Conduct points mattered to most students. But Helen seemed unfazed, not bothering to engage


    with Anne.


    "Do as you please. Dock the points if you want."


    Furious, Anne exerted her "authority" to the fullest.


    "Helen, what''s the meaning of this? Everyone follows my instructions. Are you the exception?"


    With that, Anne put Helen in a tough spot. The rest of the ss gradually paused their activities,


    curious about themotion.


    Helen was puzzled why Anne insisted on her reading Encerian. But seeing Anne''s persistence,


    Helen realized it was just petty jealousy.


    Helen disliked such petty rivalries among girls and had no interest in engaging with Anne.


    "If everyone else is at your beck and call, find someone else. Why bother me?"


    Anne scoffed. "You''re new here and have not properly read before. I need to assess your level."


    Though flimsy, the excuse held.


    Anne added, "Just read today, and I won''t ask you again."


    Helen hummed in agreement.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "To avoid further trouble, I won''t resist this time," Helen conceded, taking the Encerian textbook.


    Helen began to read earnestly to Anne''s anticipation.


    But once Helen spoke, the ss fell silent. Everyone listened to the pure Encerian ent flowing


    through the room. It was a treat for the ears.


    Anne''s face paled. She dug her fingers into her flesh silently.


    Helen''s level was like that of a native speaker. It far surpassed hers, not at all the country bumpkin


    Anne presumed.


    "No, this can''t be!"

 Chapter 31

    Chapter 31


    Anne vehemently denied it. Her gaze was skeptical as she looked at Helen.


    Not until Helen finished herst syble did she nce at Anne and ask, "Are you satisfied now?"


    Anne wanted to retort. But she found herself speechless as Helen had gained a new level of


    respect from their ssmates.


    It turned out that the new student in ss, though not the most attractive, had redeeming qualities.


    Her Math Olympiad skills weremendable, and her Encerian fluency was exceptional. It


    surpassed even Anne, the ss representative in Encerian.


    Helen hadn''t anticipated such a minor incident would change her ssmates'' perceptions of her.


    She returned to her seat and continued solving Math Olympiad problems, aware that the


    competition drew near and more practice was necessary.


    ustomed to arrivingte and leaving early, Jenson missed the morning''s events. He was puzzled


    to see Helen, previously ignored by everyone, now conversing with ssmates who approached


    her willingly.


    Jenson wondered what could have happened that made Helen so popr.


    "Can I call you Helen?" A timid voice broke Helen''s concentration. She looked up to see a petite girl


    with bright eyes full of hope.


    Helen was always kind to friendly peers. She responded warmly, "Of course!"


    The girl''s smile widened at the affirmation.


    "Hello, Helen. I''m Phishie Daniels. I''m delighted to be your friend."


    Helen paused at the offered handshake. The word "friend" seemed a luxury for someone like her


    whocks outward beauty.


    After a moment, she reciprocated, "Hello, I''m Helen Spencer."


    Phishie was thrilled with Helen''s response. She hoped to learn Encerian from Helen as her


    Encerian exam results needed improving. After all, Helen''s fluency had impressed her that morning.


    "Helen, your Encerian is so good. Could you teach me?" Phishie asked.


    Helen thought she was about to face a significant request but found it was just a minor matter.


    As friends, it was no trouble at all.


    "Sure, bring your Encerian book, and I''ll teach you."


    Phishie eagerly brought out her book and learned earnestly from Helen.

    Helen corrected her pronunciation and shared effective Encerian learning methods, greatly


    benefiting her.


    At the end of the school day, Helen wasn''t alone for a change but walked out chatting andughing


    with Phishie.


    After spotting the familiar Newton family car, she waved goodbye to Phishie. She approached the


    car and found Chandler waiting to pick her up.


    Once inside, the car started moving.


    But Helen didn''t ck, pulling out her Math Olympiad problems to work on.


    Watching her through the rearview mirror, Chandler couldn''t help but notice the contradiction


    between her in appearance and her distinguished presence, which seemed out of ce.


    Breaking his usual silence, Chandler initiated a conversation.


    "Are youpeting in the regional Math Olympiad?"

 Chapter 32

    Chapter 32


    Helen was chewing on her pen when she heard the question. She quickly looked up at Chandler


    and acknowledged with a hum.


    "When is thepetition?" Chandler inquired further.


    "Next Friday, at One High School," Helen answered honestly.


    Her eyes flickered as she remembered Tyrone mentioning Chandler''s past participation in the Math


    Olympiad.


    "Didn''t you win first ce in a Math Olympiad before? Any tips you could share?" she ventured.


    Chandler raised an eyebrow slightly.


    "That''s ancient history. There''s nothing I can do to help."


    Helen simply responded with an "Oh" and then fell silent again.


    The atmosphere between them cooled but was soon relieved as the car arrived at the Newton


    residence.


    Upon stopping, Helen opened the car door and stepped out.


    After changing shoes, she found Esmond leisurely enjoying tea in the living room.


    "Mr. Newton Senior!" Helen greeted him politely.


    Esmond''s face lit up with joy at the sight of Helen.


    "Helen dear, how are you adjusting to school? Let me know if you need anything, or you can tell


    those boys too. Don''t be too hard on yourself."


    "I understand, Mr. Newton Senior. You needn''t worry about me."


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    "You''re being too formal with your grandpa," Esmond said with a smile, then nced at Chandler


    entering the door.


    "Chandler, if Helen needs anything, help her out. She''s ady, after all. Help me take good care of


    her."


    Chandler didn''t object, replying impassively, "Understood, Grandpa."


    Esmond didn''t mind his expression and turned back to Helen.


    "Helen, I hear you''re entering that regional Math Olympiadpetition. Chandler is quite good at


    math. He could tutor you."


    "No need, Mr. Newton Senior. Let''s not bother him," Helen immediately declined.


    "Ah, what''s this about bothering? Chandler, from tonight onward, you''ll tutor Helen in math. Make


    sure she''s well-prepared for the exam," Esmond insisted, leaving no room for refusal.


    Helen wanted to protest but ultimately held back.


    Chandler had always taken Esmond''s words as a decree. Thus, he epted the tutoring


    arrangement withoutint.


    During dinner, Jenson learned about Chandler''s new role as Helen''s tutor and was visibly upset.


    If Chandler helped Helen, her sess was almost guaranteed. This meant Jenson had likely lost


    his bet.


    Unwilling to ept this, Jenson pulled Chandler aside after dinner.


    "Chandler, please don''t tutor Helen."


    Chandler''s response was calm and unrippled. "It''s Grandpa''s wish."


    Jenson became desperate.


    "Come on, Chandler! Just tell Grandpa that Helen doesn''t need tutoring. Or just pretend to tutor her.


    As long as Helen doesn''t win, it''s fine."


    Chandler gave a nomittal nod. "I''ll see what I can do."


    Jenson clung to him, pleading pitifully, "Please help me out¡­"


    Just then, Jenson met Helen''s gaze as she approached. He quickly regained hisposure and


    pretended nothing happened.


    "Well, I should get going. I have things to do..." With that, he hurried off.


    Helen was unfazed and headed upstairs, followed shortly by Chandler.


    Helen returned to her room and was about to close the door when arge hand prevented it from


    shutting.


    Then, the door was pushed open, and Chandler walked in directly.


    "What are you doing here?!" Helen asked.


    Chandler, ignoring her question, walked straight to her desk with a businesslike demeanor.


    "Grandpa asked me to tutor you," he stated.


    Helen quickly refused.


    "No need to trouble yourself. Please get out."


    However, Chandler showed no intention of leaving and simply pulled up a chair to sit down.


    "You know I can''t disobey Grandpa, so it seems you''ll have to bear with me," he said.


    Helen was silent. She wanted to say she didn''t need tutoring but thought about Esmond''s good


    intentions.


    Then, she decided to let it be.


    Chandler began flipping through the problems Helen usually worked on.


    Helen''s handwriting was beautiful. Her problem-solving steps were clear, making her work a


    pleasing sight.


    "Your approach to solving problems is pretty decent, but you made a mistake on this one." Chandler


    pointed out a specific issue.


    Helen quickly went over to check her workbook.


    "Where did I make the mistake?" she inquired.


    Chandler pointed to the second problem on the page.


    "You used the right method and form, but in the second step, you mistook the square root of 3 for


    the square root of 2, which led to all the subsequent errors," he exined.


    Helen realized he was correct.


    "I kept feeling something was off despite checking several times. So this was the mistake," she


    noted, correcting it while sitting on a nearby stool.


    Helen was focused on her corrections, unaware of how close she and Chandler had be.


    After correcting the problem, Chandler highlighted another issue in a different question.


    "You didn''t solve the second part here because you forgot to draw an auxiliary line. Look, if you add


    an auxiliary line here and use the principles of trigonometry, you can solve it." He guided her.


    Following Chandler''s instructions, Helen quickly found the solution.


    "You''re amazing! That was brilliant," she couldn''t help but praise him.


    She then flipped to thest problem that had been troubling her.


    "Could you help me with this one too?" she requested.


    Chandler hummed in acknowledgment and began reviewing the problem.


    However, the subtle scent unique to youngdies filled his nostrils, momentarily unsettling him.


    He quickly regained hisposure. He tried to refocus his attention but couldn''t help looking at


    Helen''s face.


    Every subtle expression and movement of hers was fully captured in his view.

    Chapter 33


    Immersed in solving the question, Helen did not notice Chandler staring at her.


    Once she had solved the question, there were scribbles all over the draft paper.


    As she stretched, the deep voice by her ear said, "You did well. The method and steps are correct.


    Move on to the next problem. It''s a bit easier."


    "Right," Helen acknowledged and continued with renewed focus.


    Time passed by quietly.


    Eventually, Helen''s exhaustion caught up, and she sumbed to sleep at her desk.


    In the dim light, Chandler found Helen''s usually unattractive face seemed softer and even gentle.


    Chandler lifted Helen gently and ced her on the bed. Once on the bed, Helen turned to find a


    comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep until morning.


    ¡­


    The next day, Helen woke to sunlight streaming through the window.


    Sitting up, she realized she was still in yesterday''s clothes. Slowly, it dawned on her that she had


    fallen asleep at her desk.


    How did she end up in bed?


    The possibility made Helen p her forehead in annoyance.


    Quickly, she got up and changed clothes in the dressing room. She was relieved to find her makeup


    intact, and her wig was properly in ce.


    After a final check in the mirror, she grabbed her backpack and headed downstairs.


    Her transport for school was already waiting. Helen hurriedly opened the door and got in, only to


    find Chandler was the driver.


    Memories of the previous night made her feel awkward. She sat silently in the back seat and


    pretended to be indifferent.


    Chandler started the car and drove off in silence.


    For the first time, Helen experienced what genuine awkwardness felt like. Even the air felt heavy.


    She silently prayed for a quick arrival at school.


    As soon as the car neared the school, Helen couldn''t wait to open the door but found it locked.


    "Could you please unlock the door?" she asked.


    In the next moment, Chandler handed her a notebook.


    Helen was puzzled. "What''s this?"


    Chandler exined, "Math Olympiad topics. It may be helpful."


    "Ah, no need for that," Helen refused almost instantly.


    But Chandler wouldn''t take no for an answer.


    "I never take back what I''ve given. If you don''t need it, throw it away."


    Chandler''s tone was even, but Helen sensed his displeasure. Not wanting to provoke him further,


    she epted the notebook.


    "Alright, thank you."


    Seeing Helen ept the workbook, Chandler seemed more at ease.


    He nodded in acknowledgment and finally unlocked the door for Helen to get out of the car.


    "Thank you. You can go back now." She waved at him.

    This time, Chandler didn''t leave immediately but watched until Helen entered the school and


    disappeared from his sight.


    Only then did he drive away.


    Helen walked along the school path toward her ssroom, holding the notebook Chandler gave her.


    Yet, she couldn''t fathom his intentions.

    Helen couldn''t think it throughOriginal from N?velDrama.Org.


    Deciding not to dwell on it, Helen epted Chandler''s kind gesture.


    With the exam approaching and her workbook nearlyplete, the new one from Chandler was timely.


    Upon this realization, Helen let go of her reservations and got to work as soon as she reached her ssroom.


    "Hey Helen. good morning!" Phishie greeted her right away and offered her favorite lollipop.


    "How did you know I like this vor?" Helen was pleasantly surprised.


    Phishie was just as surprised to discover their shared taste. "Does this mean we have simr interests?" sheughed.


    Helen savored the lollipop, letting the familiar taste wash over her. She had given up consuming lollipops as part of her disguise, making this moment


    especially sweet.


    "I have many more vors at home. I''ll bring you some next time.¡± Phishie winked, and they shared augh.


    Anne watched from the back of the room, her eyes darkening.


    She had never considered Helen a threat until Helen''s abilities became apparent


    Notably, the ssmates¡¯ attitude towards Helen had shifted in just a few days.


    Moreover, Helen''s fluency in Encerian overshadowed Anne, embarrassing her as the ss representative.


    Encerian had always been Anne''s strength. and she had never encountered a real challenger.


    Anne clenched her fists with a cold huff, determined to surpass Helen.


    ¡°Anne, let''s go to the libraryter," her deskmate suggested.


    Lacking any interest, Anne declined.


    She had I Reard about her teacher,


    Billy Beter''s return, seeing it asan


    opportunity to study under ao ¡ã


    renowned foreign teacher.   ~~


    Determined, Anne resolved to practice hard and be Billy''s disciple, refusing to let Helen outshine her again.


    Meanwhile, Helen was oblivious to Anne''s thoughts. She focused solely on the Math Olympiad problems in Chandler''s book.


    The day of the exam arrived, and Jenson escorted Helen to the venue.


    Despite seeing Helen''s diligent


    preparation, Jenson doubted her


    naturaktalent for math. To him, ,


    math wasn''t just about efforts Tt


    required a certain innate ability.


    Before leaving, he advised, "If you?


    can''t salve the problems, just sleep


    on thedesk. We won''tugh atyour

    Helen raised an eyebrow, "Are you so sure I''ll lose?"

    Jenson wore an expression that said, "What else?"


    Helen didn''t add more, leaving only a reminder.


    "Remember, a bet''s a bet."


    She then entered the exam hall without looking back.


    The Math Olympiad teststed two hours.


    Helen found her seat with her admission ticket and answered the questions as soon as the paper was distributed.


    Time flew quietly, and Helenpleted the paper within an hour. After reviewing her answers and finding no issues, she submitted her paper early.


    She heard the sound of a car horn as soon as she exited the exam hall.


    A discreet Audi A8 pulled up in front of her, and the window rolled down to reveal Taylor''s yful face.


    "Helly, get in.¡± he said


    Helen didn''t expect Taylor to pick her up. She got into the car, and they drove off.


    "How did the exam go?" Taylor inquired


    "Not bad," Helen replied with just two words, to which Taylor responded knowingly.


    "Helly, you could be a bit more modest."


    "Oh! Were you looking for me? What''s up?" Helen asked directly.


    Taylor chuckled.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Can''t I just hang out with you, Helly? Maybe take you out for a meal?¡±


    Helen knew Taylor well enough to suspect he had an ulterior motive.


    "Let''s just grab something quick then.¡±


    "You got it, Helly." Taylor said and hit the pedal, and the car sped off.


    Taylor took Helen to a high-end members-only restaurant, choosing a private room


    Helen got straight to the point. "Spit it out, what do you need?¡±


    Taylor eagerly poured her a cup of tea.


    "Heh, you know me too well. You knew I had something up my sleeve."

    Helen felt the tea in her mouth suddenly lose its vor. She put down her cup.


    "Why him?"

    "Whatever you need, Helly.¡±


    Helen''s gaze hardened.


    "I race him alone, no spectators."


    Taylor understood immediately.


    ¡°Alright, Helly. I''ll make it clear to them. If they agree, good. If not, so be it.¡±


    Helen hummed in approval

    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 rtive 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 rtionship 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 hade to discuss a contract with a business associate who preferred the restaurant''s cuisine. He didn''t expect to meet Helen here


    "Did youe alone?¡± he asked.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    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 epted 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," hemanded.


    "Yes, Mr. Chandler."


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


    "How did thepetition 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 teacherforted her, "It''s okay. You did your best. Head back to ss.¡±


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

    Helen took the driver''s seat and floored the elerator, speeding off to their destination.


    As dusk settled, the warmth of the summer night added aforting touch to the surroundings.


    Helen arrived at ck Dragon Tunnel right on time and greeted Chandler, "Didn''t expect you to be on time."


    Helen''s appearance right now was totally different from her image by day. Chandler didn''t suspect her identity at all.


    "You set the rules. I''ll follow," Chandler said.


    Helen smirked. "Twops through the tunnel. First to finish wins."

    Joy spread across Chandler''s face as he elerated to catch up to her.


    On ck Dragon Road, their cars raced at breakneck speed.


    Chandler couldn''t help but shout, "What''s your name?¡±


    Helen couldn''t hear him as his words were drowned out by the rushing wind drowned.


    "What did you say?" she yelled back.


    "Are you Sutton, the champion from the international race three years ago?" Chandler shouted louder.


    But at the speed they were going, Helen couldn''t make out his words at all. Confused by Chandler''s urgent look, she sped up, nning to hear him


    out at the finish line.


    Helen didn''t slow down at the curve but drifted sharply around it.

    But Helen directed his attention to Chandler. "I''m okay. Check on him first.¡±


    At that, Taylor finally noticed the unconscious Chandler. The situation was urgent so he immediately carried Chandler to the car.


    He was still worried about Helen and asked again. ¡°Helly, are you okay?"


    I''m really fine. Take him to the hospital first," Helen insisted.


    Taylor was uneasy. He confirmed again that Helen was alright before rushing Chandler to the hospital

    Chandler''s ident rmed many. The Newton family, including Esmond, all turned up at the hospital.


    "How is he? Is his life in danger?" Jenson asked the doctor urgently.


    The doctor reported the situation truthfully. ¡°Apart from external injuries, Mr. Newton doesn''t have any major trauma to other parts of his body. We''ll


    know more after further examinations. Please, remain calm."


    "Thank you, doctor," Esmond said sincerely.


    Aware of Chandler''s prestigious status, the doctor reassured, "Rest assured, we''ll give him the best care."


    When Helen arrived, she had reverted to her usual appearance. She had also taken the time to bandage up her injured right hand.


    "Mr. Newton Senior, how is Chandler?" she inquired


    Esmond absentmindedly took her left hand and patted it. unsure if he wasforting Helen or himself. "Don''t worry, he''ll be alright."


    Helen nodded and looked at the closed doors of the surgery room, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.


    Jenson was full ofints


    He pulled aside Chandler''s assistant, Carles, to question, "What exactly happened? Why did my brother suddenly go racing and end up in such a big


    ident?"


    "Mr. Jenson, I''ve already dispatched people to investigate this matter. I believe we''ll have the results soon. Please, calm down. The most important


    thing now is Mr. Chandler''s health.¡± Carles responded.


    "If anything happens to my big brother, I won''t let you off!" Jenson said angrily, his demeanor like that of a lion ready to pounce on prey.


    Just then, the doors of the surgery room opened.


    The doctors and nurses filed out, and the Newton family gathered around them.


    "How is it, Doctor? My grandson doesn¡¯t have any serious injuries, right?¡± Esmond inquired.


    After removing his surgical mask, the doctor briefly reported the patient''s condition

    "When will he wake up?" Jenson asked.


    "He should wake up after the anesthesia wears off,¡± the doctor replied.


    The doctor''s words reassured everyone and eased their worries.


    Looking at the silent Zac, Esmond instructed, "Alright, it''s good that it''s nothing serious. You guys can go back first."


    Zac hesitated momentarily. ¡°Grandpa, how about I stay here tonight, and you return home first?¡±

    Helen originally wanted to find an excuse to stay but had to give up and leave with Esmond. Zac trailed behind them.


    On the way back, Esmond noticed .


    Helen¡¯ sand and asked in concert,


    "Helen, what happened to yours


    hand? How did you get injured?"


    Helen instinctively put her hand in her pocket and exined, "I identally fell this afternoon. It''s nothing serious.¡±


    "You''re always so hasty. Are you sure you''re okay?" Esmond prodded.


    Helen nodded. "I''m fine, Mr. Newton Senior. It''s just a minor injury. Don¡¯t worry about it."


    Despite her words, Esmond was still worried and instructed Zac to bring some medicine to Helen when they got home.


    Zac knocked on Helen''s room door.


    When she opened the doar, he handed her a bottle of top-grade medicinal dressing for wounds.


    "Grandpa wanted me to give this to you.¡±

    "No, it''s fine. My hand isn''t seriously injured. Please thank Mr. Newton Senior for me.¡±


    Despite her words, Zac reached out and pulled her wrist toward him.


    Helen had already bandaged it, but the wound had slightly split open, with faint traces of blood on the bandage.


    "The wound doesn''t seem to be properly treated. Let me help you with it."


    "There''s no need..." Helen instinctively refused.


    But Zac didn¡¯t take no for an answer. He unwrapped her bandage and applied the dressing with a cotton swab


    As he removed the bandage, he realized that Helen''s hand injury was more severe than a simple fall. The cuts were irregr, resembling wounds


    inflicted by a sharp object. No, it was more like cuts from small fragments of ss.


    Zac''s pupils dted, but his expression remained calm.


    He asked casually, "How did you get hurt this badly?¡±


    Helen instinctively pulled back her hand, not wanting to go into details with Zac. "I''ll do the rest myself.¡±


    "Do you girls like to act tough or something? You''re already injured so badly but you still want to act like it''s nothing? If you don''t want to talk about it, I


    won''t pry.¡±


    ¡°It''s not like that. I-" Helen didn''t manage to finish her sentence when she felt a sharp sting on her hand. She winced and said, "That hurts!"


    Zac smirked. "So, you are afraid of pain. I''ll be gentler."


    He proceeded to focus all his attention on carefully tending to Helen''s wounds. He even wrapped the bandages neatly.


    Even though Helen didn''t want to admit it. she was sincerely grateful. "Thank you.¡±


    "There''s no need to be so polite. After all, we''re staying in the same house. We can be considered friends, right?¡± Zac said this in a friendly manner.


    This caused Helen to somewhat change her previous impression of him. She figured that Zac must be treating her differently because he had seen


    her real appearance.


    Helen didn''t know that Zac''s friendliness was just a front. He had an ulterior motive for acting this way.


    At 3:00 am the next morning, Chandler suddenly opened his eyes on the hospital bed.


    The dim light allowed him to see the


    ceiling, and the smell of disinfectant


    confirmed to him that he was ina

    "Wait. This matter should be kept a secret. You''re the one I trust the most so I''d prefer you investigate it personally."


    Carles had no objections. "Yes, Mr. Chandler. I will do everything I can to find her.¡±


    After Carles left, the spacious room fell silent. The night was gettingte, yet Chandler''s mind was strikingly clear.


    He looked out the window, reying the scenes of that day in his head.


    The more he thought about it, the more intensely his heart throbbed. He finally found the person he had been so persistently seeking for years


    He believed they would meet again soon.


    Upon learning that Chandler had awakened, Helen''s heart finally settled.


    The past few days, the Newton brothers took turns driving her to school and caring for Chandler in the hospital.


    During this time, Helen hadn''t visited Chandler even once.


    The results of the regional Math Olympiadpetition were due to be released soon.


    Suddenly, an incredible incident urred at the school. The principal''s office received an unexpected call from the Mathematics Department of a


    prestigious university.


    "We''ve heard there''s a math prodigy at your school. Remember to put in a good word about Zr University when she fills out her college


    applications. Our university has great prospects and will hugely benefit her future.¡±


    The principal needed rification. "May I ask which student you are referring to?"


    The caller merelyughed. ¡°You''ll know in a couple of days. But let me say this. If this student scores above the first-tier college entrance line in the


    senior high mock exam, our university can admit her directly, bypassing the national college entrance exam.¡±


    This was practically an offer, leaving the principal astonished.


    In his many years at the school, aside from that time a few years back with the Newton family¡¯s scion, no other student had directly caught the


    attention of a professor from Zr University.


    Could it be...


    The principal thought of something.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Perhaps in the recent Math Olympiadpetition. someone from their school scored with flying colors. But with dozens of students participating. who


    could it be?


    "Could you please tell me who this student is? Are you sure they''re from our school? Could you give me a hint?¡±


    "Oh,e onkYou''re ying coy

    ¡°Don''t keep me in suspense. Just give me a hint.¡±


    No matter how much the principal asked, the caller wouldn''t divulge more.


    Eventually. the principal could only resort to guessing. He asked several top students in the grade but to no avail.


    Over the next few days, the principal continuously received calls from various levels, including the city education bureau and university leaders. Even


    other high schools called to inquire.


    However, the principal didn¡¯t know who they were referring to, so he resorted to giving vague answers.


    Finally, the principal gathered all the mathematics teachers for a meeting.


    ¡°Among those who participated in the Math Olympiadpetition, was there anyone exceptionally outstanding?¡±


    The math teachers looked at each other in a confused manner.


    Gerard couldnt help but speak up,

    Chapter 42


    "What about the others? Any other students in particr who stand out to you?"


    The other math teachers all shook their heads.


    This puzzled the principal. He reasoned that those who had called him must have heard something.


    One or two callers could make a mistake, but the flurry of calls over several days suggested something more.


    Yet now, even after summoning all the math teachers, he had no clue who it could be.


    "Principal, are you asking us this because our school did exceptionally well this time?"


    The principal pursed his lips with a concerned look, "I don''t know, but I have a feeling that our school might have done well. How many days until the


    Math Clympiad results are out?"


    ¡°Another two or three days.¡±


    "Then let''s wait for the results. Everything will be clear, and I hope it will be good news that makes everyone happy."


    The teachers exchanged smiles, not taking the principal''s words to heart. They knew their students well and didn''t pay much attention to the matter.


    However, the entire school was astounded when the results of the Math Olympiadpetition came out.


    "Did you hear? Someone from our school got full marks in the regional-level Math Olympiad!"


    "What? Full marks? Who is this genius? Let me worship them! I remember a senior from our school in previous years also got full marks. What was


    their name?"


    "You must be talking about Chandler! He''s amazing. He was so good at everything, not just mathematics. He was truly a godlike figure."


    ¡°How inspiring! Who is the person from our school who scored full marks this time?"


    In the principal''s office, the principal looked incredulously at the Math Olympiadpetition results.


    He was beside himself with joy. "A full score! This is truly a rare talent. Mr. Ziegler, you have really made a great contribution."


    Gerard hadn''t recovered from his shock yet.


    Seeing her-solid foundation, he had.

    Gerard, hearing this, felt a surge of pride. When he left, there was a confidence in his steps that wasn''t there before.


    Gerard leisurely entered the ssroom and immediately spotted Helen sitting at the back.

    Helen turned away from Jenson''s provocative gaze.


    She opened her textbook and began to concentrate on the new lesson for the day. She wasn''t overly concerned about her score on the Math


    Olympiad test.


    Jenson let out a cold snort.


    He looked towards Gerard with expectation.


    He remarked, "Mr. Ziegler, it seems our ss didn''t do too well, did it? But that''s to be expected. The regional Math Clympiad is notoriously tough.


    Only those with true skill can score well on it.¡±


    Gerard responded with a chuckle. "Jenson, you are correct. Thepetition¡¯s difficulty level was indeed higher than before. But Helen from our ss


    performed exceptionally well. She scored a perfect hundred on the percentile-based exam.¡±


    The announcement from Gerard caused the ss to stir in surprise.


    Jenson''s face twisted in disbelief.


    "How is this possible? It can''t be!" He struggled to ept that he had lost, and so embarrassingly at that


    The other students turned their eyes to Helen


    Her ordinary appearance, usually bringing down the ss''s average in looks, contrasted starkly with her remarkable achievement in the regional


    Math Clympiadpetition.


    It was like a miracle


    There was scattered apuse which quickly caught on and soon the whole ss was apuding Helen. Everyone joined in except for Jenson


    He sat with a thunderous expression, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.


    Gerard called on her, ¡°Helen, why don''t you share a bit about your approach to studying with your fellow ssmates.¡±


    Helen had estimated her score to be at least 95.


    She was surprised to learn she had correctly solved thest question. which was the most difficult one, thanks to Chandler''s notes.


    Helen stood up.


    "Thank you, everyone. My approach is simple: extensive practice. Exposure to various problems and the ability to apply concepts creatively is crucial


    in the Math Olympiad.¡±


    Phishie expressed her admiration, "You''re incredible, Helen. You''ve been working through math problem after math problem. You must have finished


    at least a dozen practice books by now."


    Gerard nodded in agreement, urging the ss to learn from Helen''s example.


    After sitting back down, Helen''s gaze identally met Jenson''s. She offered him a faint smile.


    Jenson reluctantly looked away, his hands still clenched at his sides.


    The ss ended, and the students surrounded Helen. They were eager to learn her study methods.


    Jenson made his way through the crowd to Helen


    "Ugly... No, I mean. Helen," he corrected himself.


    It was the first time he had dropped his derogatory nickname.


    Jenson continued, "I lost our bet and I''ll honor it. I won''t bother you again. From today, I acknowledge you as the one in charge. I''ll steer clear


    whenever I see you at school.¡±


    He spoke with genuine sincerity.


    Jenson had always underestimated Helen, seeing her as just a country bumpkin. This incident had taught him a lesson.


    He resolved not to cause any more trouble.


    Helen replied, "A true gentleman epts defeat. I have to say, Jenson, I admire that about you."


    Jenson''s lips tightened. He clearly found it hard to ept. but he still managed to call her Helen and not revert to his derogatory nickname for her.


    Helen felt her previous resentment fade away after seeing Jenson¡¯s strained reaction.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "Let''s agree to coexist peacefully from now on,¡± she suggested.


    Jenson grunted his understanding. He was sulky after losing the bet.


    In their group chat, Tyrone kept asking about Helen''s score


    Jenson felt so annoyed, he threw his phone aside and ignored the messages.


    This time, his embarrassment was evident for all to see.


    Helen became a sensation after securing first ce in the Math Olympiadpetition. She was the only student to achieve full marks following


    Chandler.


    She became the apple of every teacher''s eye.


    In almost every ss, teachers would pick her to answer questions, especially Encerian teacher Sally Suares


    Sally noticed Helen''s solid foundation in Encerian and excellent spoken skills with perfect pronunciation. which she greatly admired.


    After ss, Sally called Helen to her office.


    "Helen, did you learn your Encerian back in the countryside?"


    Helen thought for a moment and nodded


    In truth, she had attended a private international school since childhood and received a bilingual education. Her Encerian had always been excellent.


    She even spent a year abroad as an exchange student, which naturally put her ahead of other students her age.


    But, since the teacher assumed she was educated in the countryside, Helen didn''t feel it appropriate to borate on her past.


    "Sort of," she replied.


    Sally smiled. ¡®Honestly, your level of


    Encerian far €xceeds that of a high

    Helen asked nonchntly, "What does it have to do with you?"
