Chapter 1111: Chapter 1110: Digging Into Young Master Peary’s...
He didn’t intend to do anything, so Nia Mitchell didn’t need to feel too troubled.
"Nia Mitchell, do you like Maxwell Peary?"
He had already investigated, knowing that Nia Mitchell and Maxwell Peary previously had no feelings for each other.
The reason for the two to suddenly get their marriage license was unknown.
He was still puzzled about it.
He wanted to ask Nia Mitchell but was a little scared, afraid of finding out something he didn’t want to know.
"Mr. Mitchell, why do you ask that?"
Nia Mitchell furrowed her delicate little eyebrows, thinking it was her private matter, so why ask?
Unable to think of an answer, she didn’t respond.
Seeing her like this, Edbert sat there, his smile stiffening for a moment.
"It’s nothing, I’m just curious, because before you were set to get engaged to Hendry Hampton but ended up marrying Maxwell Peary the next day."
"These are matters between him and me, and we will continue to interact like this."
Not knowing what else to say, she could only say that.
She wasn’t sure if she liked Maxwell Peary, maybe she did.
But admitting it in front of others felt a bit embarrassing, it was something she should privately say to Maxwell.
"Alright, if you don’t want to say, I won’t force you."
He smiled, sitting on the sofa, appearing particularly lonely.
Once he thought, maybe he would also get married, and the person would be someone like Nia Mitchell.
Just that...
He didn’t expect someone to be quicker than him.
A gentleman appreciates another’s success, so knowing that Nia Mitchell liked Hendry Hampton and was preparing to marry him, he could only let go.
But...
He did not expect Hendry Hampton to be such a bastard who would abandon Nia Mitchell so quickly.
Ironically, at that time he was swamped with work and didn’t stay by her side.
Unexpectedly, Maxwell Peary seized the chance, which left Edbert very frustrated.
"Alright, you can go back to work."
Nia Mitchell stood there, furrowing her brows.
She actually had no work to do, right?
However, Edbert seemed to be lost in thought, so she didn’t ask further.
After leaving the office room, Nia Mitchell returned to her position.
But...
This was just the calm before the storm.
Only ten minutes later, a bunch of posts about Maxwell Peary appeared online.
Digging into Young Master Peary’s personal feelings.
Digging into Young Master Peary’s achievements and past.
Digging into Young Master Peary’s past.
......
Well!
Nia Mitchell widened her eyes and incredulously clicked in.
The posts spelled out Maxwell Peary’s past, including him starting as an illegitimate child and then being taken back to the Peary Clan, all in detail.
The posts about Maxwell Peary’s emotions surprisingly mentioned Anne Davidson.
Back then, Anne Davidson and Young Master Peary made quite a commotion.
There were even people recalling the events from back then, from their first meeting to falling in love, and so on.
Later, some said that it was due to the Peary Clan’s opposition that Anne Davidson was sent abroad, forbidden to see Maxwell Peary.
Others said it was because Maxwell Peary did something to hurt Anne Davidson, leading her to leave heartbroken.
Some also claimed Anne Davidson was pregnant at the time, left to avoid something, and took the child with her.
With various opinions, no one could tell the truth of the matter.
Nia Mitchell looked at these and bit her lip while sitting there.
Although Maxwell Peary had explained many things to her before and she believed them at the time, now......
