Chapter 1075

[ 624 words ]

Scanning the crowd, Sheryl finally located Barnaby Yardley. “Dad, where’s Shanley? Did you get a chance to talk to him?”

“Over there,” Barnaby spat, his face dark with fury after being thoroughly brushed off. “Who the hell does he think he is? Throwing his weight around just because of his last name. He didn’t even have the decency to acknowledge me.”

“I’m technically his elder,” Barnaby seethed, his anger bubbling over. “Sheryl, this plan of yours better go off without a hitch tonight. I want Shanley Schwartz utterly ruined. I want the Schwartz family name dragged through the mud.”

Yardley Group was a massive powerhouse, yet they were constantly overshadowed by the Schwartz family. Barnaby had resented them for years.

He had originally planned to bridge the gap through marriage. Who could have guessed that arrogant bastard Shanley would look down his nose at both Sheryl and the Yardley empire?

The Yardleys were titans in Eclara City. If they didn’t strike back after this level of disrespect, they’d become the laughingstock of the elite circle.

“Don’t worry, Dad. Everything is set.” Sheryl glared at the devastatingly handsome man across the room, her eyes burning with pure malice. “If I can’t have him, no one else will either.”

Meanwhile, at the entrance.

Juniper pulled her beat-up e-scooter into the venue’s massive luxury parking lot.

After parking, she walked up and handed her invitation to the security guard at the door.

“Schwartz Group?” The young guard inspected the heavy cardstock, looking at her in confusion. “Excuse me, but what is your relationship to Mr. Schwartz?”

“Me?” Juniper, wearing an oversized hoodie and a black baseball cap pulled low over her eyes, nudged the brim up just enough to reveal her stunning face. She gave him a dazzling smile. “I’m his fiancée!”

“His fiancée?”

The guard’s jaw dropped. He stared at her, terrified of accidentally letting in a crazy stalker.

“Why don’t you just ask him yourself?” Not wanting to get the guy in trouble, Juniper pulled out her phone and dialed Shanley.

“Juniper?”

The call connected instantly, Shanley’s deep, velvety voice echoing through the speaker, laced with unmistakable adoration.

“I’m at the entrance. Tell the guard to let me in.” She put the phone on speaker and held it out.

“M-Mr. Schwartz?” The guard snapped to attention, his voice cracking slightly.

“My wife is downstairs. Send her up immediately,” Shanley ordered, his tone instantly dropping ten degrees, radiating pure ice.

Wife?!

Hearing the title, Juniper’s eyes darkened playfully.

“Yes, sir!” The guard turned pale, nodding frantically at the phone. “I’ll escort Mrs. Schwartz up right away.”

“I know the way,” Juniper said breezily. “Hanging up now.”

“Wait, Jun-“

Click.

Before the most powerful man in the city could finish his sentence, Juniper ended the call.

The guard’s jaw practically unhinged. He stared at her, awe radiating from his very soul.

Holy hell. She just hung up on Shanley Schwartz. This woman was a god!

“Let’s keep my arrival a secret, okay?” Juniper pocketed her phone, giving him a friendly smile. “Keep up the good work.”

tet

“Yes, Mrs. Schwartz!” The guard bowed deeply, maintaining a rigid posture of absolute respect “call the elevator for you. Have a great evening!”

As the elevator doors slid shut, Juniper stared at her reflection. polished metal her lips curling into a wicked smile.

Mrs. Schwartz?

She liked the sound of that.

Stepping out of the elevator, she found Felton standing obediently by the doors, clutching two massive bags of snacks.

“Ms. Payne Felton’s face lit up with

relief, and he immediately ther

over The Boss told me to

these for you.”

“Perfect.” Juniper peeked into the bags as she walked toward her private viewing suite. “What’s the status?”

“The fake is secured in the waiting room. Sheryl has already tampered with the Boss’s drink,” Felton reported crisply.

Juniper paused mid-step. A heavy, terrifying bloodlust bled into her eyes.

Oh, she actually thought she could throw another woman into Shanley’s bed?

Cute.
