Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 510

The following morning, it was time for the professor's lecture on a major subject. It was held in the lecture hall.

As Helen entered, she was startled to see Gerard standing at the podium. Then, she remembered that he was their instructor for the subject, so it wasn't unusual to see him there.

She found a spot and settled in.

Soon, the bell rang, and Gerard glanced around the room before saying, "Today is my first time teaching you. I'm pleased to see everyone's here and looking sharp after the boot camp."

After some casual talk, he began the lesson.

A math problem popped up on the screen. "I've got a math problem for you today. Feel free to give it a try."

The students quickly grabbed their pens and got to work on the problem.

Helen glanced at the screen and recognized the problem as one from advanced mathematics. It was a subject she had already learned through self-study.

She quickly wrote down the solution. Just then, Gerard approached and stood beside her.

"Have you solved it?"

Helen nodded.

Gerard glanced at her solutions and said, "Well done! You've got the fundamentals down." Then, he handed her a sheet of paper from his book.

"I've got another problem for you to work on in your free time. If you solve it, let me know. If not, no worries."

Helen had no idea what Gerard's intentions were, but she simply replied, "Okay. I'll give it a try."

Gerard gave her a meaningful glance. Then, he left without saying anything.

After class, Helen studied the problem Gerard had given her. She found it difficult, but it was unsolvable. She knew it just needed some time and effort to solve it.

Carlson laughed heartily and asked, "So, are you up for the bet?"

After some thought, Gerard replied, "Sure, why not? Okay, let's make a bet."

Carlson laughed again. "That's the spirit. Let's set a month as the deadline. If your student solves the problem within that time, you win. I'll treat you to the finest bourbon!"

"No, I'm not into that. Just treat me to a pot of good tea at your place."

"Haha! Deal! But if you lose…"

Gerard sighed. "You can come to my place and drink whatever you want from my liquor cabinet."

"Okay. It's settled then!"

"Deal!"
