Flash Marriage: Pampered by Mr.Bigshot-Chapter 685 - 684 - Ah, Shameless
Damn! Impressive! Nia Mitchell almost wanted to applaud. She mentally gave Julia a thumbs-up. This Julia Adams really had some skills. She was the one trying to make her presence felt and adding fuel to the fire in front of Principal Wu just now. And now that Maxwell Peary had come over, she was trying to make her presence felt with him, shamelessly classifying herself as a victim too. Nia Mitchell truly hadn’t imagined Julia could be shameless to this extent.
"Young Master Peary, I can’t help Nia Mitchell at all. I really... I feel so guilty," Julia Adams said, her voice laced with false remorse.
Before, she had proclaimed herself as Nia Mitchell’s good friend in front of Maxwell Peary. Today, knowing Nia Mitchell was just Maxwell Peary’s niece, she became even more determined to pull Nia Mitchell into her camp. As long as I get close to Nia Mitchell, I can definitely get close to Maxwell Peary, she schemed.
Hearing Julia Adams’s words, Nia Mitchell felt nauseous. So shameless!
"Uncle, don’t listen to Julia Adams’s nonsense," Nia Mitchell immediately spoke out in front of everyone. As she said this, Julia Adams’s expression changed.
So, Nia Mitchell, you dare to ruin my plans? Just you wait, I’ll make you regret this! Julia fumed internally.
Principal Wu, however, felt a sudden, immense satisfaction. Yes, yes, expose her true colors right here!
Charles Northwood, standing aside, felt the corners of his mouth twitch. Suddenly, it seemed as if he had no part to play in this anymore. He had gone from initially defending Nia Mitchell to now feeling like an unnecessary presence. Charles Northwood found this a bit hard to adjust to. Still, it wasn’t all bad, he thought. Seeing Maxwell Peary come over meant he at least cared somewhat about Nia Mitchell. Thinking this, he sighed, turned, and left.
Tara Jameson hadn’t been paying attention to what was happening over there; she kept her head down until...
A large shadow fell over her, completely enveloping her.
Huh?
She lifted her head, only to meet Charles Northwood’s tender gaze.
"You..." she began.
She didn’t know why he had come over; perhaps he was just passing by.
Sure enough, Charles Northwood only paused in front of her for two seconds before continuing on his way, brushing past her.
Tara Jameson’s eyes welled with tears. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, struggling to keep her emotions in check.
He hadn’t said a word, just as... she hadn’t managed to say anything either. Silence. And then, though so close, they felt worlds apart.
Julia Adams was so angry she wanted to push Nia Mitchell aside, her eyes fixed on their clasped hands. Damn it! What exactly is the relationship between this Nia Mitchell and Maxwell Peary? Their relationship was becoming more and more baffling.
"Principal Wu," Maxwell Peary said, his tone cool, "I’ll have MC’s lawyer contact you later regarding the car repair costs."
Maxwell Peary didn’t want to delay here any longer, so he decisively stated his terms.
Upon hearing this, Principal Wu suddenly went limp; his legs lost their strength, and he could barely keep himself upright. He staggered a couple of times but managed to remain standing.
It’s over, it’s all over. This time, I’m completely done for, he despaired.
However, the bad news wasn’t over yet.
"You asked Nia Mitchell to bring her guardian. Now I’m here. What did you want to say?" Maxwell Peary pressed.
Principal Wu remained silent. He wanted to expel Nia Mitchell. But could he say that now? Every one of his reasons was a distorted argument; he simply couldn’t bring himself to voice them. If even one of them had been justifiable, he might have taken a chance and argued his case. But... there wasn’t a single one.
Principal Wu seemed to age ten years in that moment, standing there like a man on the verge of death.
"Since you have nothing to say," Maxwell Peary continued, "I’ll have my lawyer settle the costs for my lost work time and Nia Mitchell’s damages with you in one go."
