Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1194

"You..." Megan frowned. Upon realizing that Madelyn wasn't going to be on her side, she left in anger while muttering, "We'll see about that."

When Helen returned from her phone call, she saw the two of them parting on bad terms. Madelyn clearly looked upset.

She approached with concern, "Did Megan give you any trouble?"

"It's not me she's trying to deal with; it's you," Madelyn explained. "I don't know what happened between you two, but I think she's not only talking behind your back but might be doing other things against you. You need to be extra cautious."

Helen smiled slightly. "Megan probably painted me as a villain. Even so, do you still want to be friends with me?"

"I'm an adult, and I make my own judgments about people. If I were to judge my friends solely based on what others say, I wouldn't be worth associating with. I might have social anxiety, but I won't let others' opinions sway me easily," Madelyn said calmly.

Helen took her arm and leaned close as good friends do. "Well, I'm sticking with you from now on."

Who wouldn't like to be friends with a beautiful woman? Being close to a celebrity like Helen left Madelyn flattered and blushing. She was too shy to respond.

However, with Helen's obvious affection, Madelyn became much more cheerful during the training sessions. She no longer hid in the corner but actively engaged and shared experiences with other teams.

"There's no way I'm lending money to someone like you. When Dad comes next time, I'll tell him about this. Let's see if you can still stay in the Cunningham family!"

He would have been heartbroken in the past, but today, he felt no turmoil inside. Instead, a faint smile tugged at his lips.

He stood in the shadow, and his face looked frightening. She felt a strong sense of unease and instinctively looked away while clutching her blanket tightly.

"I'll call for help if you don't leave." She lowered her voice to prevent provoking him further.

"Are you scared, Nana?" he said with a slight smile as if soothing a child. "Don't be afraid. I'm not here to ask for money. I'm here to do one last thing for you—take you out and give you freedom."
