Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1157

Megan felt nauseous upon seeing everyone flock toward Helen. "Those high-achieving students in the University of Glendale are so ignorant," she thought.

So what if Helen had become beautiful? So what if she had been famous once upon a time? She was merely a country bumpkin in the end.

Her genes were inferior, and the germs on her body would decrease the lifespan of anyone who touched her by ten years. Did they really need to stand so closely to her?

These days, there was no shortage of female celebrities, especially in Glendale. Approach a random young woman outside, and there was a high chance that she had already been scouted by an entertainment company.

Megan was different. She was an intelligent science prodigy who would make the school and the country proud. And yet, these people didn't try to curry favor with her. Instead, they were going crazy over a mere actress. They had no principles at all.

Edmund entered the room only to see Helen on the podium, surrounded by the other students who were asking her for a photo together or an autograph. The classroom was chaotic, unlike a space to study in.

Edmund's expression darkened and his displeasure was clear. This went on until an observant student spotted him and shouted loudly, "Mr. Murdoch!"

Upon hearing this, the others rushed back to their seats and sat primly. Helen finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked toward her seat.

Edmund headed to the podium, where he stood with his hands on his hips, glaring over the entire classroom. All the students hung their heads in shame—except for Megan, who held her head high proudly, waiting for the drama to happen.

It was completely silent in the classroom. The students felt like a mountain was weighing down on them; they knew how scary the calm before the storm was.

The students' heads drooped lower. Edmund didn't name anyone, but it was obvious from his accusations that he meant to single Helen out as the person behind the chaos.

Helen looked up exasperatedly, and her gaze met Edmund's across the classroom.

Edmund spotted her easily when she was the only one holding her head high in the sea of bowed heads. He could sense her strong self-assuredness; it wasn't characteristic of a naive university student. Rather, Helen seemed to have absolute confidence in her abilities.

He'd only seen this in the eyes of a globally renowned professor, and he almost faltered for a moment. In the first few seconds he met her gaze, his mind had gone blank, and he even forgot what he was supposed to be doing.

At this moment, Tommy walked in and took Helen's side from the get-go.
