Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1218

"You're really just a fair-weather friend, drifting wherever the wind takes you," Helen sneered.

"Why should you care where I go?" Megan shot back confidently. "What matters is that wherever I am, you'll never be able to compete with me."

"The competition hasn't even started," Madelyn cut in firmly. "Helen's knowledge may not be the most extensive, but that doesn't make her automatically inferior to you.

"Tristan and I are still in the mix, after all. And let's not forget, you haven't managed to surpass either of us since joining the specialized preparatory program!"

Unwilling to back down, Madelyn continued indignantly, "You're still officially enrolled at the University of Glendale. Acting as a hired gun for another university is sheer disloyalty. Abandoning your teammates is unjust.

"Belittling your peers is inhumane. And wasting your parents' money on such actions is disrespectful. Someone like you, who is disloyal, unjust, inhumane, and disrespectful, can't even come close to Helen!"

"How dare you—" Megan was so furious that she was left speechless. She pointed a finger at Madelyn, struggling to find her words.

Meanwhile, Madelyn stood confidently with her head held high. She deliberately wore a smug expression to provoke Megan and assert her superiority.

Watching the scene unfold, Helen was taken aback. With over 300 people in the hall, Madelyn spoke at length without a hint of hesitation—her progress was truly remarkable.

"That's enough, Madelyn," Helen interjected as she approached.

Placing a hand on Madelyn's shoulders, she said softly, "Engaging in meaningful dialogue is important, but don't waste your energy arguing with fools. If you keep this up, it will only hurt your standing."

After all, intelligent people conversed with ease. Madelyn quickly understood Helen's point and calmed down.

There was no need to waste time being angry with such idiots.

Just as they were about to leave, the team from Howdy University arrived at the waiting area. Upon seeing Megan, one of the members promptly approached her.

"What's wrong, Megan? Struggling to say goodbye to your University of Glendale teammates? Maybe you should just head back," he said.

The man before them was Lennon McCarthy, a member of Howdy University's elite team. Despite his wealth and intelligence, he had a distinct habit of looking down on everyone around him.

Helen smirked, shaking her head. It was evident that Megan's return to Howdy University wasn't going smoothly.

"Hi there," Sadie interjected. She flashed a bright smile as she extended her hand to Helen. "I'm Sadie Fletcher, the team captain from Howdy University. Would you like to be friends?"

Helen was momentarily taken aback. She shook Sadie's hand politely before swiftly pulling it back.

"I heard you were the top liberal arts student last year," Sadie said, feigning ignorance. "This year, I've claimed that spot. Hopefully, we'll have a chance to compete head-to-head."

Helen's lips curled slightly as she replied, "I'm sure we will."

Sadie flashed a knowing smile. After nodding to Mason, she turned and walked away with him.

"Is everything okay?" Tristan asked, quietly approaching Helen and Madelyn from behind. He was apprehensive that the students from Howdy University might stir up trouble.
