Flash Marriage: Pampered by Mr.Bigshot

Chapter 684: Chapter 683: Principal, My Parent is Here

Damn it! It’s her uncle! Doesn’t that mean the ’parent’ Nia Mitchell just called is Young Master Peary? If I’d known beforehand, even if I had the courage of a god, I wouldn’t have dared let Nia Mitchell bring her parent! Who doesn’t know Young Master Peary’s temper? That old saying about it being easier to invite a deity than to send one away is truly timeless.

Just let me go, please, Principal Wu desperately wanted to plead, but the words caught in his throat, refusing to come out.

”Nia Mitchell, did the Principal ask you to bring your parent?” Maxwell Peary inquired.

Principal Wu’s mind went blank with panic. It’s here, it’s here! The inevitable has arrived. Young Master Peary is indeed bringing it up!

”Yes,” Nia Mitchell replied with a nod, allowing the CEO to hold her hand with an air of perfect obedience, standing demurely by his side.

Maxwell Peary slowly curled the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with an icy coldness. ”Principal, I’m here now. What did you prepare to say to me?”

A fresh wave of terror washed over Principal Wu. Swallowing hard, he struggled to raise his head. ”Young Master P-Peary... I... It’s nothing, nothing. Nothing happened at all.” I have to downplay this, make it seem like nothing happened, he thought desperately.

Seeing Principal Wu’s expression, Maxwell Peary clearly had no intention of letting the matter drop. ”Expel her, is that it?”

Maxwell Peary’s cold sneer made him seem like a demon from the depths of winter, plunging onlookers into an imaginary ice cellar.

”N-no... there’s nothing of the sort...” Principal Wu was trembling from head to toe, wishing he could simply faint on the spot. How wonderful it would be if I could just faint right now! he thought, suddenly detesting his own robust health.

Standing to the side, Julia Adams bit her lip. Uncle? So, Nia Mitchell isn’t Maxwell Peary’s lover or anything like that? Just a relative? Oh! Does that mean I still have a chance? But... their interactions don’t look like those between mere relatives at all.

”Young Master Peary,” Julia Adams chimed in, a smile on her face, completely forgetting her own disheveled state. ”I can testify that Principal Wu did indeed want to expel Nia Mitchell.”

Never mind her ruined makeup; her bird’s-nest hair alone was enough to make anyone burst into laughter. Only she remained oblivious to what a buffoon she looked like.

Hearing a woman’s voice, Maxwell Peary finally shifted his gaze towards her. One look was all it took to give him a start. Even Young Master Peary was taken aback by Julia Adams’s current state.

Julia Adams, however, was completely oblivious, still believing herself to be stunningly beautiful. She even batted her eyelashes at him, trying to be seductive. ”Young Master Peary, you have no idea how outrageously Principal Wu behaved just now.”

As Julia Adams spoke, she pouted coquettishly and feigned a pitiful expression, as if she were the one who had been wronged, not Nia Mitchell.

Let alone Maxwell Peary, even Nia Mitchell, standing beside him, felt a wave of nausea listening to Julia Adams.

Meanwhile, Principal Wu, upon hearing Julia Adams’s words, nearly fainted from rage. This turncoat! he fumed internally. He clearly remembered her whispering the troublemaker’s name to him just moments ago. And now she has the gall to expose me! Once this business with Young Master Peary is settled, I’ll definitely deal with this Julia Adams!

”Young Master Peary, it was truly terrifying just now,” Julia Adams continued, instantly casting herself as the victim. ”Thank goodness you arrived! Otherwise, Nia Mitchell—and all of us—would have surely been bullied.” She blinked rapidly until a tear welled up and trickled down her cheek.
