The Unwanted Girl Is Their Princess novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166

Neo was shorter than Yannis. With pain shooting through his body, Neo couldn’t even straighten his back and had to crane his neck to look up at ham.

“Your mouth stinks,” Yannis said coldly, a cruel smirk on his lips as he threw a glass of water at Neo.

Neo got soaked as water splashed all over his face. “How dare you throw water at me?” he yelled, frantically wiping his face with his hands. Bracing himself against the table, he lunged at Yannis, ready to teach him a lesson.

Yannis sneered, tightening his grip on Neo’s wrist, and kicked him. A scream of pain broke the air, so loud it sent chills down everyone’s spine. Even Zinnia outside could hear it clearly.

At that moment, Neo realized w

horror that he had picked a fight with someone way beyond his level.

Pain shot through Neo’s body as he clutched his groin, writhing on the floor in pain. In that second, all his confidence disappeared. I’m going to regret this forever,‘ he thought, scared stiff.

He never thought that after sending out invites to all those heirs and heiresses, not one would come. Instead, the place was full of spoiled kids from second–rate families. It was frustrating.

When he heard that Maisie and Zinnia had arrived, a thrill ran through him. But those two girls totally disrespected him, which made him angrier. They need to learn a lesson,’ he thought. Little did he know, those two weren’t ones to mess with.

“Don’t even think about messing with people you shouldn’t,” Yannis said coldly, giving a blank look at Neo on the floor. “Otherwise, today’s trouble will be the least of what you’ll face.”

He walked out and gave orders to Toby, “Charge him with group assault and keep him locked up for the longest time allowed by law. No bail, no visitors.”

“What just happened?” Zinnia asked, surprised by the loud scream. As a doctor with many years of experience, she could tell that the person must be going through something really inhumane–pain way beyond normal.

“No idea,” Maisie said, but she knew how her cousin usually handled things.

“Thanks for helping me with the medicine, Charlie,” Maisie said, her cheeks pink as she watched him. He had carefully dabbed the corner of her mouth with a cotton swab.

Maisie had been accidentally bumped, leaving a bruise at the corner of her mouth.

Zinnia had just come out for fun and didn’t think to bring any first–aid stuff. Luckily, Charlie always kept a first–aid kit in his car. When he heard about the fight and worried they might be hurt, he grabbed it right away.

“Don’t mention it. I should thank you for protecting Zinnia today,” Charlie said softly, his voice warm as he carefully applied the medicine.

Maisie smiled. “Don’t mention it. Looking out for Zinnia is just what I should do.”

“I never thought you’d be so strong now, Maisie–fighting so many people all by yourself! But next time, if there’s a fight, remember to protect yourself first. If you can’t win, just run. Stay safe.”

Charlie’s lips curled into a gentle smile as he spoke patiently, “You don’t have any serious injuries, Maisie. I just checked your shoulder. It’s okay. Only the cut at the corner of your mouth is a little noticeable.”

A flicker of coldness appeared in Charlie’s eyes. “I can protect myself too, you know,” Maisie said confidently with a grin. “If they hadn’t all come at me together, I could’ve taken them down myself. Next time, I’ll protect you too, Charlie.”

Maisie tucked his concern into her heart, feeling a little happy inside. She thought, If I hadn’t taken the lead, none of them would’ve even hit me. But if I didn’t teach Neo a lesson, I’d regret it.”

Maisie had been sent to military training camps every school break since she was seven, for ten years straight. With skills like hers, most people couldn’t

harm her.

“Alright, I’ll count on you to protect me from now on,” Charlie said with a small laugh at her words. He threw the cotton swab into the trash, put the cap back on the medicine, and gently placed it in her hand.

Charlie said, “Use the ointment three times a day. I just checked your shoulder. It looks fine, but I can’t say for sure. When you get home, put on the ointment. If it doesn’t get better, come back for a proper check–up, okay?”

“Thank you, Charlie,” Maisie said, holding the medicine in her hand. She could still feel its warm feeling from his touch. Her heart skipped a beat at that thought.

Zinnia watched Maisie’s cheeks turn red and thought, ‘Is her mouth really hurting that much? Her face is red from the pain. Why does it feel like her body temperature is off? And her heartbeat seems weird.‘

“Zinnia,” Yannis called as he came out. Zinnia was thinking about checking Maisie’s pulse when she saw him. His face looked strong, his sharp black clothes were perfect as he came toward her.

Yannis’s face softened when he saw Zinnia. He looked her over carefully and asked, “Are you hurt?”

He had been watching her in the lobby, but he was still worried until he saw her in person.

Zinnia shook her head. “I’m not hurt. Maisie was protecting me the whole time, but she got injured.”

Zinnia thought, ‘If I’d known I’d run into trouble today, I would’ve brought some special powders. All I had were ones that make people fall asleep or cause rashes. Neo really got off too easy.’

“Nothing serious?” Yannis asked Maisie, gently touching the corner of her mouth as he frowned. He thought that punishment for Neo wasn’t enough.

Yannis didn’t worry about Maisie’s fighting skills. After all, he trained her himself, and most people couldn’t harm her.

Maisie nodded, not worried about her injuries. Secretly, she thought happily, ‘This injury was a good thing. I got to see Charlie, and he even put medicine on my wounds. Totally worth it!‘
