Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1123

"I came to pick you up," Edmund said calmly. "Since you're not from the University of Glendale, I thought you might need some help finding your way around."

"Mr. Murdoch, you're so considerate," Megan replied with a sweet smile.

Edmund's expression remained impassive. His interest lay in students' academic potential, not their appearances; to him, everyone looked fairly similar—attractiveness made no significant impact.

"Follow me," Edmund instructed as he led the way.

Amidst the envious stares of the crowd, Megan walked confidently behind Edmund toward the Advanced Studies Building.

Her arrival quickly sparked a flurry of speculation and chatter.

"Who's that? She's pretty cute. I don't remember seeing her on the campus beauty list before. Could she be Mr. Murdoch's girlfriend or something?"

"You're out of the loop. That's Megan from the neighboring Institute of Technology—she's a physics prodigy and has won awards in almost every competition. She's truly exceptional!"

"Seriously? How did someone this talented not get recruited by the University of Glendale?"

Megan deliberately slowed her pace, savoring the compliments and feeling her ego swell. It was clear that the students of the University of Glendale recognized true talent when they saw it.

Just as Megan was about to quicken her pace, the students suddenly erupted in astonished murmurs.

"Oh my god! It's Mr. Tyrone Newton! He's here!"

"I can't believe I'm seeing three unbelievably handsome men at once! Is this real?"

"I think I'm falling in love!"

Megan frowned, curious about who might be stealing her spotlight. She halted and instinctively followed the direction of the students' gazes.

In the nearby square, a sleek MPV came to a stop. Chandler, Jenson, and Tyrone stepped out of the vehicle.

Realizing she had overreacted, Megan quickly composed herself and offered an awkward smile. "It's nothing. I just think that woman is really lucky to have so many protective older brothers looking out for her."

As Megan spoke, she deliberately glanced toward the square.

Edmund instinctively followed her gaze and was struck by the commanding presence of the Newton brothers. Nonetheless, he found the woman surrounded by them to be somewhat out of place.

"This is a campus, not a social event. It's strange for a woman to be surrounded by so many men," Edmund remarked, clearly displeased.

"Maybe she's just too delicate," Megan said with a hint of sarcasm. "She seems so fragile; it's no surprise the guys are so protective of her."

"Can't she manage anything on her own? If she needs this much protection, maybe she shouldn't even be here!

"Let's go; I still need to prepare for the class placement test later."

Annoyed, Edmund quickened his pace and led Megan away.
