Chapter 1044

“Juniper?” Seeing the person standing at the door, Barnaby’s face instantly dropped. He spoke with obvious displeasure, “What are you doing back here?”
As he spoke, he actively craned his neck to look past her into the hallway. Could it be? Did Juniper overhear Michelle’s conversation and realize Miss Seven was about to take Sheryl as a student? Was she trying to stick around, hoping to meet Miss Seven and steal the opportunity?
“Juniper, I know you have the Schwartz Group backing you, but don’t push your luck.” Without even giving Juniper a chance to speak, Barnaby fired off, “Miss Seven is a highly secretive figure. Not just anyone has the right or the qualifications to become her student. I highly suggest you drop this delusional idea right now.”
“You—” Before Barnaby could finish, Juniper simply walked right past him, treating him as if he were entirely invisible.
“You want to be Miss Seven’s student too?” Michelle stared at her suspiciously, her tone hostile. “With me here, she will never agree.” Even though they hadn’t spoken in years, she was confident that she still held some weight with Miss Seven.
“Not necessarily.” Juniper walked straight to the sofa, sat down, and crossed her legs.
Hattie cautiously tiptoed in behind her. Facing the fierce glares of six sets of eyes, she definitely didn’t have the mental fortitude to just sit down casually. She decided to stand. She specifically positioned herself right behind Juniper. If a fight broke out, Juniper had great moves and could definitely protect her. Hehe.
“Juniper, why did you come back?” Seeing her return, Lionel’s nerves instantly tightened again. He jumped out of his chair, forcing a smile. “Is there something else?”
“Yeah,” Juniper nodded slightly, actually being quite polite. “Sorry to bother you, Mr. Landon.”
“No bother at all,” Lionel forced a laugh, his face practically freezing in place. He asked gently, “Could it be that you also want to meet the tennis legend, Miss Seven?”
“Yeah.” Juniper answered bluntly, offering no further explanation.
“You want to meet Miss Seven too?” Right on cue, Sheryl walked out of the restroom, her makeup freshly retouched. Hearing Juniper’s
response, a mocking sneer crossed her face. “Miss Seven only cares about destiny and talent. Throwing your money around won’t work.”
“We’ll see about that in a minute, won’t we?” Juniper turned her face away. “Stand a
little further back. I’m allergic to idiots.”
Sheryl nearly ground her teeth into
far too
dust. Furious, she stomped over to Michelle’s side. “Has Miss Seven arrived yet?” Juniper was far too used to acting high and mighty thinking the whole world revolved around her. This time, Miss Seven was going to brutally knock her down a peg.
“I’m contacting her right now.” Michelle couldn’t stand Juniper either, especially after the girl had ripped her mask off earlier. She pulled out her phone and asked for Miss Seven’s location. Before hitting send she made sure to add. There’s afl here relying on her family’s wealth and power, trying to force you to take her as a student.’ From what she remembered, Miss Seven absolutely despised people who abused their power.
Michelle: ‘Where are you? Do you need me to send someone to escort you?’
Juniper lazily tapped her screen and replied: ‘I’m here.’
Overjoyed, Michelle immediately yanked the door open. The hallway was
completely empty. There was no one in sight.
Michelle: ‘Where are you? I don’t see you.’
Miss Seven: ‘Why don’t you turn around and look?’
Michelle held her phone, her body going stiff. Confused, she slowly turned around. She ended up staring directly at Juniper. By this point, Juniper had taken off her baseball cap, fully revealing her stunningly beautiful face.
Michelle froze in place, staring at the girl in sheer disbelief. Why did she look a little bit like Miss Seven? Years ago, Miss Seven had short hair, wore cool cargo pants, and her skin was deeply tanned from the sun.
