Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1212

Edmund stood by the front door, his gaze following Helen until she turned the corner of the staircase and disappeared. Only then did he look away and step inside.

In the classroom, Tommy was deeply engrossed in his work, while Bentley idly played games with his headphones on. Nearby, Hunter was fervently scribbling calculations on a piece of paper.

After following Helen's advice and recalculating the physics problem using the correct approach, he arrived at a new answer.

"Mr. Reddick," Edmund called out, walking over with a look of sympathy. "You see it now, don't you? Helen isn't putting any effort into her studies at all. You really shouldn't waste your time on her."

Hunter met his gaze, raising an eyebrow in surprise. "Who said that? I actually find Helen to be quite meticulous."

"Meticulous? Didn't you notice? She intentionally caused a distraction to give herself an excuse to leave," Edmund retorted, his frustration showing. "She has the backing of the university sponsors, so she doesn't show much respect for us teachers. She's become arrogant and full of herself!"

Edmund's criticism was sharp and biting. Tommy, who usually kept to himself, couldn't resist giving Edmund a look of irritation.

The variety of people one could come across in a large institution was astonishing. Someone who spoke so disparagingly about their students hardly seemed deserving of the title "teacher".

Tommy was determined to talk to Taylor about finding a way to get Edmund expelled from the University of Glendale when he got home later.

"I genuinely appreciate Helen's spirited approach," Hunter said with a smile. "Students with such energy and enthusiasm are rare these days. Besides, I did make an error on that problem. Helen is, in fact, quite remarkable…"

"That was probably just a coincidence," Edmund insisted stubbornly. "Helen has a tendency to clash with her teachers. She's caused issues in my class more than once."

"Mr. Murdoch, I believe you're being too harsh," Hunter replied, his expression hardening. "From my observations over the past few days, Helen doesn't seem as problematic as you suggest."

Hunter's tone took on a more authoritative edge as he continued, "There's an old saying from Grand Cathay, 'To teach is to care without discrimination.' Regardless of a student's behavior, a teacher should be patient and supportive.

"We may not always turn students into exceptional individuals, but we can choose the kind of teachers we want to be. Mr. Murdoch, I encourage you to reflect on that."

With that, he strolled out of the room.

Edmund's face flushed with anger, and he clenched his fists at his sides. He couldn't understand why the university committee had appointed an elderly person to oversee the specialized preparatory program.

How could they expect Hunter to manage the class effectively when he couldn't even keep track of what was happening right in front of him?

If things continued like this, the specialized preparatory program was destined to falter under Hunter's supervision.

Edmund knew he needed to find a way to remove Hunter from his position and resume control of the class.

With this resolve, he adjusted his glasses, a calculating glint flashing in his eyes.
