Chapter 1575
[ 545 words ]
She wore a long, flowing dress today. Her long hair was slightly curled, her makeup impeccable, and the diamond necklace around her neck sparkled brilliantly.
Janet was already naturally petite and sweet, but dressed up like this, she was incredibly captivating.
“The rooftop suite is ready, and the others have arrived. We can just head straight over.”
Luella pushed Jimmie away, sidled up to Juniper, and linked her arm through hers. “Juniper, I want to ride in the same car as you. Mwah, mwah.”
Jimmie, who was suddenly shoved aside: “?”
And Shanley, who was just about to reach for Juniper: “?”
“Is there a problem?” Juniper asked.
“Yeah, is there a problem?” Luella echoed.
Shanley: “None at all.”
Jimmie: “Wouldn’t dare.”
The two men exchanged a helpless glance and walked outside.
Melvin followed right behind Janet, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curling upward.
Moonlight Peak.
Everyone attending the birthday dinner had arrived.
Since Janet wasn’t one for loud, wild parties, the gathering was kept simple.
Exchanging gifts, making a wish, and blowing out the candles.
“What did you wish for, Janet?” Luella teased from the side.
“Health for my family and friends,” Janet replied.
Her family naturally included Juniper and everyone here.
“That’s right, that’s right. We’re practically all family anyway.”
Luella narrowed her eyes and deliberately prompted, “Melvin, aren’t you going to help Janet pass out the cake?”
“Right.”
Melvin stepped forward, looked at Janet, and said softly, “I’ll help you.”
“Thank you.”
Blushing, Janet handed the sliced plates to Melvin.
Once everyone was served.
The group naturally broke off-some were singing, some were chatting.
Janet sat quietly next to Juniper, a blissful smile radiating from her face.
Juniper glanced at Melvin, then at Janet, and suddenly stood up.
“Where are you going?” Shanley, who was peeling a tangerine for her, asked in confusion.
“I’m going to make a catalyst,” Juniper arched her brow slightly.
A catalyst for what?
Not long after.
Juniper returned to her seat.
Ten minutes later.
A waiter walked in holding a kettle. “Excuse me, who asked for hot water?”
“Over here.”
Juniper pulled the lollipop out of her mouth and waved at the waiter.
“Right away.”
The waiter caught on immediately. He approached with the kettle, locking eyes with Juniper.
The silent exchange complete.
The waiter purposefully stepped close to Janet, then let out a sharp “Ah!”
He pretended to trip over his own feet, “barely” catching himself from falling.
“Janet, watch out, the water is hot!” Juniper casually lifted her gaze and shouted with deliberate exaggeration.
“Water?”
Hearing that, Melvin’s alarm bells rang. He instantly threw himself over to shield her.
“Smash-“
The kettle hit his shoulder, and the water inside soaked his entire upper body.
“Mr. Steele, are you okay?”
With the plan executed perfectly, the waiter wore a highly exaggerated look of panic. “That water was really hot.”
The next second.
Janet leaped to her feet, rushed to his side, and asked frantically, “Are you burned? Does it hurt?”
“Huh?”
Melvin froze, realizing that the water was lukewarm at best. Where was the heat?
“It looks really serious.” Juniper
didn’t move an inch from her seat, crossing her arms to enjoy the
show. “You’d better go to a private room and take off your shirt to check right away. It leavesa sear no one’s going to want you.”
“Huh?” Melvin looked over at
