Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 67

In the car, Zac was busy with company affairs on his iPad.

His temperament was a stark contrast to Jenson's.

Jenson was reckless and immature, a typical spoiled rich kid. Whereas Zac was the epitome of calm and composure, usually reticent and sparing with words.

When Zac sent Helen to school, they rarely conversed beyond what was necessary.

Upon arriving at school, Helen encountered Jenson heading out with a basketball.

Their eyes met, and despite his reluctance, Jenson greeted her respectfully, "Helen, good morning."

The boys following Jenson were taken aback by his deference.

Yet Helen remained unruffled and replied, "Good morning."

They brushed past each other, and the boys whispered in astonishment, "Jenson, are you out of your mind? Calling such a weirdo by her name."

Jenson threw the basketball at them, "What weirdo? That's my boss. Remember this: don't you dare bully my boss. If you go against her, you go against me too."

The group was stunned, not daring to utter a word against Jenson.

"Don't worry, Jenson. Your word is our command. We wouldn't dare mess around."

Jenson's mood lightened, though admitting Helen as his boss was the last thing he wanted. But a man's word is his bond, and having acknowledged her as the boss, there was no turning back.

Helen's response was indifferent. "May your wish come true."

"Hopefully!"

As they spoke, Anne entered the classroom. A dejected air had replaced her usual vibrancy.

She looked at Helen as her father's words echoed in her mind. "Anne, did you offend someone at school to warrant such retaliation?"

Anne snapped back to reality. She was puzzled to no end.

She couldn't think of anyone she'd offended at school except maybe Helen. But she dismissed the thought that it might be Helen, considering a country bumpkin like her too insignificant to cause such damage.
