Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1219

"It's nothing," Helen reassured Tristan. "We were just exchanging pleasantries."

Tristan gave a slight nod before walking away.

Helen couldn't help but glance after him. Despite his quiet demeanor, Tristan had shown real integrity when it mattered.

Back then, he had lent her his laptop, which helped Helen reveal Megan and Edmund's false accusations. Because of this, Helen felt indebted to him.

Given how devoted Tristan was to his studies, she wasn't sure how to best show her appreciation.

"With Sadie involved, winning the championship is going to be a real challenge," Madelyn said with a sigh, her concern evident in her voice.

"Is she really that impressive?" Helen asked casually.

"Don't you know?" Madelyn replied, clearly surprised. "Sadie's been famous since high school. She's won the Mindfield Competition two years running and has an amazing memory. Some even say her knowledge is as good as a search engine's."

"What's the Mindfield Competition?" Helen asked, genuinely interested.

"It's a knowledge-based show that's even tougher than the National Quiz Competition," Tristan added. "Each challenge is designed to test the limits of human ability, and it's often humorously called a gathering of extraordinary talents. Anyone who stands out there is truly remarkable."

Helen took Tristan's praise seriously, gaining a deeper insight into the stakes. As the competition neared, she sharpened her focus.

At 9:00 am, the match officially kicked off.

Following five rounds of elimination, both the University of Glendale team and the Howdy University team made it to the finals.

After four rounds of intense questioning, the scores were deadlocked, resulting in an overtime round.

"In Encerian, there's a word that describes someone who creates and drives trends. Please buzz in—"

Without hesitation, Helen buzzed in confidently. "Trendsetter," she replied.

"Correct!"

As Sadie observed the host's enthusiasm, a regretful smile tugged at her lips.

Fortunately, there was still one final chance to change the outcome.

"There's one last question remaining. The current score stands at 440 points for the University of Glendale and 410 points for Howdy University. This final question is worth 40 points. If Howdy University answers correctly, they will win the championship and retain their title."
