Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1222

Helen looked down and took the gaming device. Although she had played similar games before, the weight of this one still took her by surprise.

Maintaining her composure, she said, "I'll make sure to enjoy it."

"Ms. O'Connor, it's time," the assistant reminded her.

Georgia gave a slight nod. With her assistant's help, she made her way out.

As soon as they were out of sight, Madelyn approached eagerly and asked, "What did Ms. O'Connor say to you?"

She couldn't help but sneak a look in the direction Georgia had gone.

"She told me to enjoy the game," Helen said with a straight face.

"What?" Madelyn asked, puzzled. "Shouldn't she have advised you to study hard and aim for success?"

Helen shrugged and replied, "Who knows? Maybe academicians just have a different way of thinking."

"True," Madelyn replied with a nod. "If everyone could understand the mind of an academician, then anyone could become one."

Her enthusiasm quickly returned as she grabbed Helen's arm. "After being overshadowed by Howdy University for so long, we finally get to hold our heads high today. Let's go to the street market and celebrate!"

"Sounds good," Helen agreed. She had no other plans, after all.

Just as they were about to leave, a warm, friendly male voice called out, "Hey, excuse me."

Madelyn stopped and turned around, pointing to herself. "Are you talking to me?"

After a moment, Madelyn shook herself out of her daze. Seeing Helen's smile, she felt her cheeks grow warm.

"What's so funny?" she asked, playfully tugging on Helen's sleeve.

"Hehe… I'm not laughing," Helen said with a teasing smile, clearly enjoying herself.

"Yes, you are! You're so annoying! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

The two quickly got into a playful squabble.

"Helen!" Megan suddenly cut in, striding over with a fierce expression. "Just because you have a good memory doesn't give you the right to insult people! You've really crossed the line!"

Madelyn's playful expression vanished instantly, replaced by a cold stare. "Megan, stop trying to play the victim. If Helen hadn't let you win, do you really think Howdy University would have taken the championship?"
