Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1125

Jacob took the form back to his desk, stamped it with a flourish, and handed it to Megan. "Congratulations! You're officially enrolled at the University of Glendale starting today. I wish you a rewarding journey here."

"Thank you, Mr. Morrison. I'm excited for what's ahead," Megan replied with a polite smile.

Jacob nodded and turned to Edmund. "Mr. Murdoch, allow me to introduce Helen Spencer, the final addition to the specialized preparatory program."

Megan's eyes widened in surprise. She was stunned by Jacob's audacity in openly introducing his girlfriend to a faculty member.

Wait a minute—did he just say Helen was joining the specialized preparatory program as well?

Jacob must have pulled some serious strings to get a liberal arts student into a science-focused program. Was he trying to secure Helen a spot for graduate studies abroad?

The surprise was evident not only on Megan's face but also in the subtle change in Edmund's expression.

As he thought back to the scene in the square and Jacob's earlier comments, Edmund's disdain for Helen became glaringly apparent.

He had no intention of showing any leniency to someone who used personal connections to advance their position.

It made no difference how many sponsors Helen had or how influential they were. If she didn't pass the first monthly exam, she would be dismissed from the program.

Edmund shot Helen a frosty look, his patience waning. "Ah, so you're Helen Spencer. You must be the one Mr. Otto Sheridan invested millions in to secure your place in the specialized preparatory program. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

Helen's expression tightened into a frown. No wonder her application process had been so seamless—Otto must have used his influence to smooth things over behind the scenes.

He probably had a network of spies tracking her; otherwise, how could he have known every detail of her actions?

Why?

Megan struggled to understand.

What did Helen possess that she didn't? Why was Otto so devoted to her?

Otto was meant to be with Megan—she was the one who deserved him. Yet, Helen's greed was staggering; she had everything she could want but still coveted what others had.

Megan's indignation reached a fever pitch, almost making her faint.

Just before losing consciousness, she heard Edmund's stern voice. "It's not a matter of effort. I treat all students equally; there will be no favoritism or cover-ups. Anyone who fails to meet my standards in the monthly exams will be automatically dropped from the class. Helen, are you ready for that?"
