Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1018

Helen withdrew her hand and casually fiddled with her phone. "While I don't concern myself with others' opinions, I have a short temper and dislike being falsely accused. In cases like this, we should just let the facts speak for themselves."

Megan's heart began to race uncontrollably.

The next moment, Helen held up her phone and played an audio recording.

"Haven't you realized that all your opponents so far have been amateurs? None of them were truly skilled. Those games you played earlier were nothing more than child's play. Forget about me; any of my friends would easily outmatch you!"

As the recording concluded, the audience began murmuring among themselves, their expressions turning to confusion.

"Isn't that Megan's voice? What do you mean, Megan—do you actually think my chess skills are just child's play? Wasn't it you who lost to me at last year's tournament?"

"At first, I thought it was Ms. Spencer causing trouble, but it turns out it was Megan all along. I never expected her to be so arrogant and disrespectful. She's a disgrace to our association!"

Megan's face flushed with embarrassment as she struggled to find the right words. "No, I didn't mean to insult anyone. I just—"

Before she could finish, another segment of the recording began to play.

"Fine. If I lose, I'll kneel before everyone here. But if I win, you'll have to apologize in the same way!"

As Helen put her phone away, the room was filled with shock and murmurs.

"So, it turns out Megan was the one who insisted that the loser kneel, not Ms. Spencer!"

"Mr. Murray…" Megan stood frozen, her mouth open in shock. She had never expected Benedict to take such drastic action for Helen's sake.

Being Benedict's protégé was the only reason she was valued at home.

Now that she had been publicly dismissed, not only would this bring shame to the Zollinger family, but her parents would also undoubtedly make her face the consequences.

As Megan was about to protest, Benedict had already approached Helen, eager to extend his hospitality. "Ms. Spencer, it's a rare pleasure to meet you. Would you do me the honor of joining me for a cup of tea? I have some exceptional Earl Grey that I'm sure you'll find delightful."

Helen remained silent for a moment before turning to Otto. "Do you still want to finish the last match?"
