Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1217

The students competing in the event arrived at the television station by bus at 8:00 am.

Following Megan's arrest, Helen stepped into the third position and assumed the role of the team's primary responder.

Before the competition kicked off, the teams convened in their assigned waiting areas.

Tristan remained calm and composed. He sat on a leather chair with a focused, attentive demeanor.

In contrast, Madelyn, who had been anxious on campus, found her nerves even harder to manage at the venue. She took deep breaths in an effort to soothe herself.

"Here, take this," Helen said, handing her a specially formulated pill. "It will help control your anxiety."

Madelyn picked up the pink pill and examined it closely. "Is this a new type of medication?"

"Kind of," Helen answered calmly. "I made it myself. If you're not comfortable taking it, that's okay. I can also massage your pressure points to help you relax."

Madelyn flashed a grin upon hearing this. She then tilted her head back and swallowed the pill. While capping her thermos, she said with a chuckle, "If it's from you, I'd take it even if it were poison!"

"Well, Madelyn, it looks like you've picked up some questionable habits from Tommy and Bentley!" Helen joked.

Recently, Helen had been spending most of her time on campus. She mainly interacted with Madelyn but also saw Tommy and Bentley frequently. As a result, they had all become quite close.

Having someone as outgoing as Bentley around had done wonders for alleviating Madelyn's social anxiety.

At that moment, a familiar yet menacing voice cut through the air.

Helen narrowed her eyes, skeptical that the staff at Destiny Corporation could have made such a mistake. It seemed evident that the Zollinger family had gone to considerable lengths to extricate Megan from her predicament.

"Given your involvement in a hitman case, you should be ashamed," Madelyn said firmly. "It doesn't matter that you've returned. Mr. Morrison has already disqualified you from representing the University of Glendale, and as team captain, I'm not accepting you back either."

Megan chuckled arrogantly. "Oh, please. Do you really think that just because I'm no longer with the University of Glendale, no one else would want me?"

"Isn't that the case?" Helen asked, her expression unwavering.

"Not at all!" Megan's demeanor grew icy as she bragged, "If Mr. Murdoch hadn't personally convinced me, I wouldn't have transferred to the University of Glendale.

"Everyone knows that Howdy University has consistently outperformed the University of Glendale for years. Now that I'm here, I'm fully committed to representing Howdy University and beating all of you!"
