Chapter 637
“You’re my hero! I’ll feel terrible if I don’t do something to repay you p>
“She’s right,” Hayden added, seeing his wife’s earnest plea. “Please, Ms. Payne, let us have your contact info. Think of it as making new friends. If you ever need help with anything, you can always call us p>
Juniper looked at the couple. They didn’t seem like bad people, so she eventually gave them her number.
After adding each other as contacts, they started walking toward their respective private rooms. Miranda and Hayden’s room was the first one they reached.
“Ms. Payne, wait just a moment,” Miranda said, pushing open the door. She disappeared inside and returned seconds later with her arms full of snacks. “These are delicious. You have to try them p>
Before Juniper could react, she had pushed the entire pile into her arms.
“You don’t Juniper started to refuse, but her eyes fell on the colorful array of treats, and the words died on her lips. have to give me so many. I can just take a couple p>
“Take them all,” Miranda said with a grin. “If you like them, I’ll buy you more next time p>
Hayden’s eyes widened in disbelief. His wife was giving away all her favorite snacks? He wasn’t even allowed to touch those snacks, let alone eat them. And now she was giving them all to a girl she’d just met?
A few minutes later, Juniper walked back into her room carrying a mountain of snacks.
Luella froze mid-sip, her lips twitching. “Where did you get all this p>
“Saved someone on my way back from the restroom. This is their thank-you gift.” “These don’t look cheap,” Luella noted, rummaging through the pile and pulling out her favorite chocolate. “A quick guess, this is probably a few hundred bucks’ worth of snacks p>
“That expensive?” Juniper’s eyelashes fluttered, and she suddenly became much more careful about where she set the food down.
“You said you saved someone. You didn’t get into a fight, did you?” Luella asked.
Most people who came to this club were not to be trifled with. It wasn’t that she was afraid of powerful people, but trouble was always bad for the mood.
“Yeah.” Juniper nodded, sinking into the sofa and casually crossing her legs. “Unless I’m mistaken, his ribs are completely shattered.” She raised an eyebrow also heard his last name is Garner p>
“Garner?” Luella thought for a
moment. There was only one prominent Garner family in Eclara City-an influential, upper-class family with considerable power
Juniper had broken one wer
of their
own’s ribs. They weren’t going to let
that slide.
Sure enough, half an hour later, there was a knock on their door. A waiter explained the situation.
“His ribs were all broken. The ambulance just took him away, and they’re saying his injuries are severe. The Garner family patriarch, Victor, has ordered the entire club to be locked down until they find the persoft who hurt his son. The security footageted them to one of the culprits in this room p>
The waiter spoke cautiously, well aware that Luella was a major client.
“Mr. Langley, the Garner family has already called the police. So, I’m afraid we’ll have to ask your friend to come out and answer a few questions p>
In the security video, Juniper had been wearing a hat and had her back to the camera, so the staff hadn’t recognized her.
“Did they call out the couple from the room next door, too?” Juniper asked without looking up, busy eating a spicy chicken wing.
“Yes,” the waiter confirmed, swallowing nervously. “Victor came here himself. It doesn’t look like this is going to be settled peacefully p>
“Fine.” Juniper tossed the bone into the trash can, wiped her fingers, and rose slowly from the sofa.
“We’ll see about that,” she said, her voice dropping to an icy tone. “Whether he can settle this or not depends on how tough he is p>
“Huh?” the waiter stammered.
Luella just sighed.
