Chapter 1574

[ 575 words ]

In the classroom.

As soon as Janet sat down, her desk mate leaned over and whispered in her ear, “The university president actually stepped in to clarify those rumors Kian made

about you.”

“The university president?” Janet was genuinely surprised. Such a trivial matter had caught the president’s attention?

“Of course,” her desk mate nodded furiously like a chicken pecking at grain. “You’re Mr. Steele’s girlfriend, and Mr. Steele is Goddess Juniper’s brother, and Mr. Schwartz is Goddess’s fiancé… Does the president dare offend Goddess? Or does he dare offend Mr. Schwartz?”

He couldn’t afford to offend either, so he had to step in and fix it.

Janet pursed her lips, then asked, “What did they say?”

“Kian got three days of administrative detention and a major demerit from the school.”

Her desk mate beamed with excitement. “And then a bunch of his girlfriends stormed his dorm and smashed all his stuff to pieces.”

“With a major demerit on his record, he’s going to have a terrible time finding a job after graduation.”

He wanted to be a lawyer?

Who would ever hire a lawyer with a stained record?

“That’s good,” Janet nodded, then suddenly looked up, her cheeks turning bright red. “Who said Mr. Steele is my boyfriend?”

“Ah, he’s not?” Her desk mate looked confused for a second, then chuckled. “Come on, we’re practically best friends, stop pretending.”

Janet choked on her words. She wanted to explain but didn’t even know how to begin.

The day of the birthday.

Juniper had invited quite a few people.

But they were all close friends her siblings, Luella, Lorelei, and Kurt.

Everyone wanted to just relax and have fun, so they didn’t invite any of the elders.

Luella arrived dragging a small suitcase, clinking and clattering with a pile of makeup.

She gave Janet an exquisite, adorable makeover.

“Juniper, you really didn’t have to do all this,” Janet had never had such an elaborate birthday before.

Her family used to be poor, so there wasn’t much spare cash.

Her mom would just buy her a small cake and cook a hearty meal.

That was always her birthday.

“Are you going to listen to me or not?” Juniper sat cross-legged on the sofa, browsing through necklaces.

This one was too flashy; that one was too bold.

Eventually, she settled on a delicate, petite teardrop diamond pendant.

Also known as: A tear upon the collarbone.

Hearing Juniper’s tone, Janet didn’t dare say another word.

She simply let Luella dress her up like a doll.

“Perfect!”

Finishing the makeup, Luella admired her brilliant “masterpiece.” She purposefully looked toward Melvin, who was sitting nearby, and said loudly, “Such a beautiful girl. I wonder who’s going to get lucky.”

“Luella.”

Janet’s cheeks flushed hot. She kept her head down, too embarrassed to look at the

man who had just raised his eyes.

“Hehe.”

Luella grinned. She was absolutely loving this.

“She’s shy, stop teasing her,” Juniper walked over and fastened the necklace around Janet’s neck.

“Fine, I’ll go tease the one with thick

skin,” Luella’s, smile grew even brighter. She crossed her arms and sauntered over to Melvin. “Melvin, 1 heard you’ve been chasing Janet for awhile now. Why havent you caught her yet?”

“Luella!”

Melvin, who was taking a sip of water, nearly spat it out.

“Keep your voice down.”

Jimmie walked over with a glass of juice, naturally wrapping an arm around Luella’s

waist, adopting a stern tone. “Show some respect.”

“???”

Melvin was momentarily annoyed.

“Janet looks incredibly pretty today,”

Luella took a sip of her juice, herë

eyes narrowing into

Mischievous

smile “It’s such a great day, you

better hurry up and make your

move.”

“I will, Luella.”

Just as Melvin finished speaking, Juniper brought the birthday girl, Janet, out.
