A colleague finally couldn't hold himself back and asked, "Academician Aria, is your wife truly Nikita Parker?"
This was no longer a matter of envy; it was a grievance of a wife being snatched away.
Peter Aria remained unruffled no matter who asked. His response was consistently the same six words: "don't trust rumours, don't spread rumors."
"Academician Aria is truly a successful man in life, both his wife and daughter are distinguished figures."
Theodoric Cosmo's face turned gray. Upon seeing Peter Aria, he immediately turned around and left.
Peter Aria didn't bother arguing with him, he just acted as if he hadn't seen him.
Nikita Parker was at home scrolling through comments and laughing at one of the screenshots she had taken to send to Aubree Groove.
"Someone claims I am your stepmother, what do you as my stepdaughter think of this?"
