Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities

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 glanced 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 accelerator 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.

Occasionally, there would be some commotion outside the classroom and curious glances thrown her way.

"Hey, ugly, how can you sit there so calmly? Or have you lost all confidence in your looks and become 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, Jenson laughed openly.

Helen must be joking, he thought. With her plain Jane looks, how dare she claim to have an interesting soul?

Helen ignored him and took out a Math Olympiad workbook to start solving problems.

Since she had topped the last Math Olympiad exam, the math teacher had recommended her for a regional-level competition. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.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 place. 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 Olympiad competition.

"With your level, you should just give up. There's always someone better out there. Don't embarrass yourself."
