Nia Mitchell sat beside Aldy Mitchell, then raised her head to look at their father, who was standing to one side.
"In reality, I didn’t marry Hendry Hampton. The night we were supposed to get engaged, he despicably conspired with the Capital Town Police Bureau to have detained."
Nia had thought she would be very upset saying this, but she wasn’t; she was surprisingly calm.
"The engagent banquet proceeded as planned, but with a different bride. I t Maxwell Peary at the Police Bureau."
A smile suddenly graced Nia’s lips as she recalled that mont. She had never imagined she would et her other half under such circumstances, in such a place.
"Whatever I say next, you must keep it a secret. Not a single word can be leaked."
Nia abruptly paused, her gaze shifting to Molly Harguez, who stood to one side.
"Why are you looking at ? I’m not a blabbermouth," Molly Harguez said, feeling very uncomfortable. Why was Nia implying things about her?
Nia didn’t believe Molly would actually keep a secret. If she told her these things, Molly would undoubtedly go out and brag about them.
"Let tell you, in Capital Town, Maxwell Peary is more audacious than the highest authority. He can appear anywhere with a gun and his army. If you say sothing you shouldn’t, even I won’t be able to protect you."
Nia decided a threat would be more effective. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to suppress Molly Harguez’s base nature.
Indeed, the threat worked. Molly Harguez stood there timidly, swallowing hard. After all, she was soone who had never witnessed such significant events. The re thought of Maxwell Peary’s thods and his faction terrified her.
However, as she spoke, the other two n in the room simultaneously clenched their fists. This was such a formidable figure, soone they absolutely could not afford to offend. If Nia truly suffered a loss or was hard, they would be completely useless, unable even to seek justice for her.
Seeing her threat had taken effect, Nia imdiately continued with her story.
"He accompanied to the engagent ceremony, helped reclaim my dignity, and sheltered for a night. At the ti, I thought, Dad, that you would co. I didn’t want you to know about Hendry Hampton’s actions, and I didn’t want to worry you, so..."
Nia paused, a little embarrassed to continue.
"So what?" the three of them asked in unison.
Nia coughed awkwardly, feeling rather flustered. "So, I proposed to him, and we went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and registered our marriage that very day."
So, she was indeed married—just not to Hendry Hampton, but to Maxwell Peary.
The three of them stared, stunned. "You and Young Master Peary are husband and wife?"
They were all dumbfounded, montarily unable to process this reality. It was too shocking. Who was Young Master Peary? He wasn’t soone they could afford to get on the wrong side of. Everyone had assud Nia was rely Maxwell Peary’s mistress; who could have guessed they were in an open and legitimate marital relationship? If news like this got out, it would undoubtedly cause a massive sensation.
"Yes, we’ve been married for a good while now," Nia said sweetly, her eyes crinkling with a smile at the thought of Maxwell.
"Our relationship is very good. He treats wonderfully, protects in every way, and pampers . Except... he’s a little too controlling."
Thinking of his domineering style, Nia looked slightly disapproving. But it was still very sweet.
