The principal saw Brandon White spring into action, finally snapped back to reality, and quickly stepped forward to assist him in helping Upton up from the ground.
Unexpectedly, Upton scolded them, "Get out of my way. Her Majesty, July hasn’t allowed me to rise yet. How can I just stand up casually?"
Upton scolded both of them without the slightest hint of mercy.
But when he raised his head and met July Quinn’s cold gaze, he switched to a fawning expression, "Her Majesty, July, I truly didn’t know you were here. It was my mistake not to greet and pay respects to you first. Please, I beg Your Majesty’s forgiveness and not to mind someone as lowly as me."
This left both the principal and Brandon White dumbfounded.
It turns out their initial perception of Upton fearing July Quinn was not a misunderstanding.
But who can tell them what in the world is going on here?
How is it that the Royal Family, which usually holds such an aloof stance before them, is kneeling before July Quinn and dare not rise without her permission?
It’s not just the principal and Brandon White who are shocked; over on Joy Quinn’s side, she too was utterly bewildered.
She initially hoped that this so-called Mr. Upton would humiliate July Quinn, leaving her with no footing at the First University of Esteria!
Yet now this man is kneeling in front of July Quinn, not daring to rise at will.
What on earth is happening?
Amid Joy Quinn’s astonishment, Willow Young’s irritating voice rang in her ears again.
"Her Majesty, July? Joy, did that person just call your sister Her Majesty, July? Could it be that your sister is a lost jewel of the Meridia Royal Family?"
Although July Quinn was not the Quinn Family’s biological kin, Joy Quinn still could not accept the hypothesis that July was born nobler than her.
"But the current situation seems exactly like that..."
"Mr. Upton must have made a mistake. Just wait, I’ll prove it to you now."
As her words fell, Joy Quinn left her position.
At this moment, July Quinn, still on the podium, cast a cold glance at Upton kneeling on the ground, neither speaking nor moving, yet causing Upton to sweat profusely from nervousness.
Joy Quinn came up to the podium at this time, "Mr. Upton, you must have gotten the wrong person. This is my sister, July Quinn, not any Her Majesty."
"Yes, she’s just an ordinary student at our school, Mr. Upton, please get up."
Hearing Joy Quinn say this, Brandon White quickly chimed in.
Listening to this, Upton indeed hesitated.
But upon raising his head and meeting the cold gaze of July Quinn, he immediately felt an imposing aura surging towards him...
How could he possibly be mistaken with such a feeling?
He dared not meet July Quinn’s gaze again, quickly lowering his head to continue kneeling on the ground.
Brandon White and Joy Quinn exchanged a glance, seeing confusion and anxiety reflected in each other’s eyes. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire·net
At this moment, July Quinn finally spoke seeing Upton’s genuine attitude of acknowledging his mistake.
"Thank you, Her Majesty, July, thank you, Her Majesty, July!"
Upton expressed his thanks repeatedly before rising to his feet.
But just as he stood up, unable to wipe away the sweat from his forehead, he heard July Quinn ask him.
"Since when did Meridia have a research institute, a foundation association, and a One Leaf Academy?"
Upton froze for a moment, then hurriedly responded with an awkward laugh:
"Well... I heard that when venturing outside, it’s best to add a few titles before your name, so I arranged a few for myself."
The principal, Brandon White, and Joy Quinn: "..."
The crowd of students below the stage: "..."
