Chapter 13

"Oh, about this matter!" Taylor patted his chest. "Don't worry. I did not reveal your identity. You can relax." "Okay." Helen reminded him, "From now on, we can only contact each other privately. If anyone sees us, the Newtons will suspect me." "Okay," he agreed before leaving. Before Taylor had gone far, Helen turned around and saw Jenson walking this way. Her heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the document. After being startled for a while, she calmly walked past him back to the classroom. Unexpectedly, the difficulty level of the Math Olympiad was so low. She had thought highly of this school. She glanced through the question bank several times before stuffing it into the drawer. It seemed like she did not have to worry about the Math Olympiad. ... Before the Math Olympiad, the school specially tutored the participants, including Yvette and Jenson. Helen always saw Yvette approaching Jenson under the guise of learning, but he cruelly rejected her every time. The week of tutoring passed quickly, and the Math Olympiad began. The classmates were full of confidence in Yvette. "She was the number one last year. There is no doubt that she'll get the same result this year. It's boring!" "Yeah, it would be great if someone could replace her. I can't stand her arrogance!" It turned out that everyone felt jealous of whoever got the first place. Not wanting to cause trouble, Helen deliberately left the last question blank. Yet, she still won first place, leaving her speechless. The classmates were surprised when she won first place. As she grew up in the countryside, they did not expect her grades to be so good. Yvette had always been number one in the school but was still far behind Helen. Gerard was extremely emotional when he saw the Math Olympiad results. He had been teaching for many years but had never met such a talented student. So, after hearing the news, he couldn't wait to show off his teaching achievements before the principal. The school took it very seriously and held a commendation ceremony for Helen. ... At the commendation ceremony, the principal and Gerard talked for more than an hour before letting Helen give a speech. They firmly believed that she would become Aguilisco's top scorer in the college entrance examination, and they should pay attention to her future studies. “Let's give a round of applause to welcome the winner in this Math Olympiad competition, Helen Spencer!" Under the gaze of thousands of people, Helen took the stage. The students applauded enthusiastically, wondering what the legendary genius student would look like. But soon, they saw a tanned, ugly girl on stage. The top student was indeed different. She must be focused on studying and had no time to take care of her appearance. Disappointed, the boys comforted themselves with such a thought. Gerard smiled awkwardly before inviting Helen up on stage to summarize her learning experience. Helen went on stage, ready to recite the speech she had written the day before. Then, she saw a familiar figure in the audience. Her mouth twitched. Why was Chandler here? She heard that only Esmond was coming. She was stunned for a while. But when she looked over again, he was no longer there. She blinked, thinking it was an illusion, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Returning to her senses, she started her speech. She spoke eloquently, without making any mistakes in every word. After all, she was used to receiving awards frequently. She had even attended larger occasions before. Looking at the energetic speaker on the stage, Chandler was in a daze. After listening to her speech, he didn't stay for a second longer and left quietly.
