Chapter 1359
[ 604 words ]
With her striking features, undeniable presence, and radiant aura, she stood out effortlessly in the crowd.
Passing Eclara University students couldn’t stop staring, huddling together and whispering.
But they were about to be disappointed.
After the news broke labeling Juniper a “monster,” not only did the Schwartz family not cancel the engagement, but Shanley had actually become even more high- profile about his devotion.
“Look at the news!” someone suddenly shouted. “The Schwartz family just released a statement!”
It was a single, direct sentence: “The future matriarch of the Schwartz Group will only ever be Juniper Payne.”
This was an undeniable declaration of support, backing Juniper to the absolute limit.
By the looks of it, she shouldn’t be called a monster-she was an enchantress.
How else could she have completely bewitched the Schwartz family?
Spotting Shanley, Juniper furrowed her brow.
Mr. Show-off.
Shanley stepped forward, took her hand, and smiled gently. “Let’s go home.”
Juniper let him lead the way.
Of course, the man couldn’t just walk in a straight line. For a distance of only a few feet, he deliberately paraded her in a wide circle.
Even though Juniper was cringing internally, it was admittedly quite satisfying.
The expressions on the gossiping onlookers’ faces were far more entertaining than any of the articles online.
They got into the car.
Shanley leaned over to buckle Juniper’s seatbelt. Then, resting his arm out the window, his cold gaze swept over the crowd as his voice cut through the air.
“I have three things to clarify.
First: My fiancée is not some genetically modified freak. She is a natural-born genius. If you want proof, just wait.
Second: The position of my wife has a name permanently engraved on it. Her name
is Juniper Payne, and that will never change in this lifetime.
Third: You can gossip all you want, but you cannot insult my fiancée. I have a terrible temper, and I am extremely protective of what’s mine. If I see even half a word of insult directed at her again…”
The rest of his sentence was too bloody to speak aloud.
But anyone with half a brain understood.
Even if Shanley wanted to kill someone, he could do it without leaving a single trace.
The onlookers were dead silent.
Only after the sports car sped away did they finally gasp for air.
“Holy crap, Mr. Schwartz’s presence is terrifying. I almost suffocated.”
“He said there’s proof! Could it really just be a misunderstanding?”
“Didn’t you watch the video? The kid in that footage was definitely Juniper!”
“Everything is fake these days! You know what? I’m done blindly following rumors. It’s just bad for my health!”
“Me too!”
A girl nearby chimed in, muttering,
“Even if her genes were modified et
what? It’s not like Juniper has done
anything illegal
or hurt anyone!
“That might be true, but what about her parents? Gene modification is an ethical violation!”
“Yeah, why are her parents playing dead?”
“They aren’t playing dead, they’re
just too scared to show their face

scoffed, ber tone
dripping with smugness. “That
whole family is a menace.”
The whispering crowd turned to look at Yolanda, their expressions shifting instantly.
One sharp tongued student fired
back, “Setting aside whether Juniper is a monster or not who the hell are
You
to judge her, Yolanda2ont
Even if Juniper was a monster, she was a kind-hearted one.
As for Yolanda…
Everyone already knew exactly what kind of trash she was!
And she still had the nerve to run her mouth?
“Fine.”
Yolanda’s face turned ugly, but she refused to back down. “Just wait. Juniper is never going to recover from this.”
However, Shanley had just mentioned having proof. What proof could he possibly have?!
No.
She needed to contact Nadia and find out.
Little did she know,
The second she tried to contact Nadia, her IP address was instantly locked on by Flint.
Flint immediately notified Felton. “Prepare to move out. We’ve got a rat to catch!”
