Chapter 960 The Bet Principal Chow remained silent with a serious expression.
However, Mr. Doyle was already extremely impatient. He slammed the table heavily with his hands and aggressively demanded, "You ignorant fool! You have no idea what time means to a virus expert. Hand over Callum's information to me immediately!" Hamish put down the book in his hand and walked forward. His gaze slid heavily across Cameron's face and finally settled on Mr. Doyle. "Lady Selena won't lose. The one who will ultimately lose is you!" Mr. Doyle sneered and said disdainfully, "What does she amount to? How dare she compare herself to me?" Hamish's eyes grew colder and he did not back down. "This is a bet between Capital University's laboratory and Lady Selena.
Even if your status is high, you have no right to deprive others of their qualifications without the parties being present.” "And this is Capital University. Please show some respect to our principal!” Mr. Doyle was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected anyone to dare accuse him in public. He was so angry that he started cursing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPenelope saw that the situation was getting tense and cursed Hamish inwardly. She quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Mr. Doyle, please don't be angry. Hamish has a point. We need to make sure Miss Turner loses convincingly, don't we?" Mr. Doyle was originally angry, but he seemed to have been reminded of something by Penelope's persuasion. A malicious smirk appeared on his face as he pointed at Hamish's nose. "I can wait, but if | win in the end, | want this person and Callum's daughter to kneel down and apologize to me on the spot!" As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy.
If Mr. Doyle's previous comments could still be attributed to the eccentricity of a genius, this demand was blatantly humiliating.
Principal Chow's face had completely darkened.
Putting aside Selena, Hamish was still the most prominent figure in Capital University, with extremely high prestige.
The eyes of many young people in the meeting room stared at Mr. Doyle, and their expressions shifted from shock and admiration to disgust and anger.
Even many of the laboratory's teachers felt that this demand was too much.
But obviously, not everyone thought so.
Winnie was still angry that Hamish had ignored her. Now, seeing him being humiliated, she raised her chin and sneered, "Hamish, did you hear Mr. Doyle's demand? Why don't you apologize right away?" Although Winnie was angry, she still had some sense of propriety.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Hamish really knelt down in front of Mr. Doyle, it would be a major blow to Capital University's reputation and the reputation of the younger generation.
Penelope's eyes flashed with a cold smile. She looked at Cameron's furrowed brow and still pretended to persuade him, "Hamish, Mr. Doyle's achievements and status are enough to show that he has given us enough face by coming here." "As for the issue of disrespecting the principal, you misunderstood. Mr. Doyle spends most of his time in the laboratory and is not very familiar with social interactions. If you apologize to him, he probably won't give you too much trouble." "As for Selena, the more miserable she is, the happier Penelope naturally becomes. When Winnie and Penelope spoke, the expressions on the laboratory teachers’ faces improved." Hamish seemed not to have heard their words and stared at Mr. Doyle with a piercing gaze. "So, according to your logic, if Lady Selena wins in the end, you will also kneel down and apologize to me, Lady Selena, and Principal Chow?" Mr. Doyle cursed loudly and his tone became increasingly strange. "You ignorant child, how dare you talk to me like this-" Before he could say any more offensive words, Hamish interrupted him. "If you agree, then I'll take your bet!" The atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense. Hamish's mentor hurried over to pull him aside and whispered, "Hamish, don't act impulsively. Besides, who gave you the right to speak for Selena?" Hamish lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "All | know is that wherever | am, no one can humiliate my mentor." "As for Lady Selena, with her temperament, if anyone openly insults Principal Chow, no matter who they are, she will directly beat them up!" His mentors expression changed, but she could not say anything more to persuade him. Others could only think that Hamish had lost his mind because of Selena's influence. The laboratory teachers looked at Hamish with a deeply disappointed expression.
"Hamish, what's going on with you? In a situation where the outcome is already decided, why do you still choose to stand on Selena's side?" "Hamish, Capital University has taught you for so many years, and if you don't want to give back, that's one thing, but how dare you make Mr. Doyle kneel down? You've really disappointed us!" Winnie was so angry that she almost screamed, "Hamish, are you crazy?" Ignoring the disappointed and angry voices, Hamish continued to stare at Mr. Doyle. "So, Mr. Doyle, do you dare to agree to my request?" Mr. Doyle smirked maliciously, no longer concealing the contempt and ridicule in his eyes. "I'm waiting for you, you bunch of ignorant lackeys. Kneel down and lick my shoes!" A cold glint flashed in Hamish's eyes. He lowered his eyelids and remained silent.
Penelope's lips curled into a smug sneer as she calmly linked arms with Cameron, waiting to see the joke between Selena and Hamish. One was her mortal enemy, the other had previously openly humiliated her. Regardless of who was unlucky, she would enjoy the outcome.
After Penelope was done gloating, she remembered that Cameron and Hamish had been partners for over a decade. She turned to Cameron, who had a serious expression on his face, and spoke softly. "Cameron, Mr. Doyle is a proud man. It's understandable that he's angry when Hamish openly humiliates him... | don't want things to turn out like this. Don't blame me, okay?" Cameron looked deeply at her and said, "After this is over, don't go and provoke Selena again!" Penelope smiled happily, "I'll do as you say." Anyway, after today, Selena was destined to have no future. She didn't need to dirty her noble hands and go after Selena.
Cameron looked away from the tense scene in the conference room.
Time slowly ticked away in the stiff atmosphere, and it was almost eight o'clock.
Mr. Doyle angrily questioned, "Did Callum's cowardly daughter escape at the last minute and dare not show up?" Penelope stared at the ticking second hand, a smug sneer in her eyes. "Principal, I'm sure Selena knows that Mr. Mae Lane and Mr. Doyle are here and doesn't dare to come. The outcome of this bet is already clear..." Before she could finish her sentence, the closed door of the office suddenly pushed open from the outside.
