Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1202

What did he have to say?

Edmund was reluctant to face the situation. He was both embarrassed and infuriated, bowing his head in silence.

"Actually, we can't put all the blame on Mr. Murdoch," Helen said nonchalantly. "Understanding the full context is part of our country's nine-year compulsory education. Since Mr. Murdoch was educated abroad, it's understandable that he might overlook some details."

"It's good to see you're informed," Edmund replied, regaining his composure. "But I'm not completely out of touch with domestic issues. As the saying goes, 'To err is human.' Even as a teacher, making mistakes is only natural."

As soon as he finished, a few students couldn't hold back their laughter.

Edmund's authority was clearly shaken. He scowled and snapped, "What's so funny? This is a serious matter—there's nothing to laugh about!"

Unable to restrain himself, a student sighed and muttered, "Mr. Murdoch, what Helen's suggesting is that you might have slipped through the cracks of the nine-year compulsory education…"

As soon as Tommy and Bentley caught on, they immediately stopped their argument and laughed louder than anyone else, unable to hold back their amusement.

Embarrassed, Edmund turned his frustration toward Helen. "Helen, are you now leveraging your strong performance in the liberal arts to distort my words and subtly criticize me?"

Jacob cleared his throat, stepping in gently. "As an educator, you should uphold a professional demeanor. Please be mindful of your conduct!"

"Mr. Morrison, it's not my intention to create a scene, but Helen is being incredibly presumptuous!" Edmund argued. "Even if I misunderstood her, does that give her the right to insult and undermine a lecturer?"

"Tommy and Bentley, this is going too far," Jacob said in a calm tone. "Please, take your seats."

Tommy crossed his arms and declared, "We'll sit down, but only if Mr. Murdoch keeps his promise to resign as our lecturer. Otherwise, I won't stay in this class for even a day!"

"Count me out too!" Bentley added.

Edmund's face darkened, his jaw tightening with frustration. If looks could kill, those two troublemakers would already be in pieces.

Seeing Jacob ready to act, Edmund stepped in decisively. "Megan, get up!"
