Chapter 14

Looking at Helen on the stage receiving the award, Jenson still couldn't believe it. She clearly said she only knew a little bit! Was she deliberately hiding her strength? After the long commendation ceremony, Helen felt tired. She had listened to the principal's summary for a full hour after her speech. Her legs were already numb. Jenson brought the Math Olympiad questions to test her. "Solve these questions! Or I won't believe your ability!" She lazily took the questions, glanced at them, and started solving them. Jenson carefully watched her problem-solving process. As a result, she got full marks, and some of her solutions were even simpler than the reference answers. He was shocked and speechless. Then, he pointed to one of the questions and asked, "This is the last question of the Math Olympiad. You know how to solve it. Why did you leave it blank?" Helen deliberately did not solve the last question, so she didn't even read the question. "I had no time to solve it," she lied. Although Jenson secretly admired her, he still said rudely, "I can also solve them well if I want to! Don't think you're smarter than me!" Esmond was happy after seeing the commendation ceremony. "Helen, you're worthy of being my future granddaughter-in-law!" Helen smiled awkwardly. "In that case, can you tutor Jenson?" "I don't have objections. It depends on his will." She let Jenson answer instead, and he said confidently, "Grandpa, as long as I'm serious, I can learn it myself!" "I know you can learn well, but..." Jenson struggled to resist but was persuaded by Esmond. From that day on, Helen taught him different math questions. ... "Here are the new questions. Solve them." Jenson snorted, taking the exercise book that Helen threw over. Reading the questions, he said casually, "I'm smart and quick-witted. After the tutoring, I don't even bother to solve these questions." She shrugged, feeling helpless. "You're indeed arrogant." After school, when he saw her walking out of the classroom alone, he followed her and shouted, "Chandler will pick us up later! Where are you going?" "Restroom." Helen heard people around her whispering and felt very irritated. They said she was lucky to stay with Jenson! She'd like to give them this kind of luck! But she only complained about it inwardly. The Newtons' admirers would scold her if she told them her real thoughts. "Then I'll go downstairs first. I'll wait for you at the school gate." Helen ignored him and continued walking until she met Yvette around the corner. "What's the matter?" She had received Yvette's note before class ended. Hence, she came to meet Yvette. "I've always seen you getting close to Jenson. Do you like him?" Yvette sobbed. Helen was a little helpless. "It's just your illusion." She choked and was stunned for a moment before asking, "You don't like Jenson?" Seeing Helen nodding, Yvette looked shy and said coyly, "Then, can you help me pursue Jenson?" Yvette was a top student. If she were together with Jenson, Helen wouldn't have to help him with tutoring in the future. "How can I help you?" Seeing that she agreed, Yvette turned around with a sly smile. "Let's go to a quiet place. There are too many people here. I can't talk about the details." Failing to notice her expression, Helen followed her without vigilance.
