Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 517

After a while, Chandler replied, "Great!"

Helen glanced at the reply on her phone screen and smiled. She then slipped her phone back into her pocket.

…

After carefully going over the steps Helen had outlined in his office, Gerard couldn't help but exclaim, "Genius! Pure genius! This kind of talent is once in a lifetime. She is a real math prodigy!"

Helen's steps were crystal clear, logical, and spot-on accurate. According to her, this was her first run-through without any prior checks.

Carlson entered with a glass of water. He teased Gerard, who looked excited, "Even at your age, you're still as restless as a teenager."

Gerard looked up and replied, "Hold your horses, Carlson. Once you lay eyes on these papers, you might just get as excited as I am."

Carlson gave a dismissive snort. "You're just talking big."

"Think what you want, but come over here and see for yourself."

"Genius! Pure genius!"

Then, he asked, "How long did it take her?"

Gerard replied promptly, "I estimate about three days. But to be precise, it might have been even shorter."

Carlson was stunned into silence. Could a problem that had baffled countless mathematicians be solved in less than three days, with both the steps and solution correct? It was a lot to process for those who had devoted years to the field of mathematics.

So, he said, "Hurry up and report this matter! Additionally, preserve this draft paper and assist Helen in applying for a patent.

"Helen is currently the only person in the country who has solved this problem. If word gets out, it's bound to make waves. So, we must handle this discreetly…"
