Chapter 1597
[ 554 words ]
“Oh, stop scaring the girl.” Kent Schwartz was tinkering with his chessboard, preparing to teach Shanley a lesson. “Bloody business like this is best left to us men.”
Miranda and her husband naturally agreed, comforting Juniper and telling her not to worry. They even arranged for the Schwartz Group’s private corporate jet to follow her. She could fly back at a moment’s notice.
March 10th.
Juniper and Tucker led the computer science graduate students from Eclara University to the airport.
“Goddess, Tucker.”
The doctoral students gathered together, greeting Juniper with deep reverence.
In their minds, Tucker was a teacher.
But Juniper was a god.
Whenever they encountered a problem they couldn’t solve, they just had to find her, and it would be fixed in minutes.
Rumor had it that for this competition, Tucker had practically “begged” the Goddess to guide them.
And they even got to ride in a private jet.
Most of them hadn’t even flown business class, let alone on a private jet.
Things were looking up.
Hehe.
A few of them immediately started sucking up:
“Goddess, let me carry your suitcase.”
“Goddess, do you want some water? We brought drinks—oh, and snacks!”
“Goddess, are you hot? Do you need a fan?”
“Goddess, Goddess…”
Juniper hadn’t said a word, but her ears were already drowning in the title “Goddess.”
Seeing this scene, Tucker felt neglected and annoyed.
“Ahem.”
He cleared his throat, saying pointedly, “Do your eyes only see the Goddess? Can’t
you see your professor being crushed to death by his luggage?”
Tucker was carrying a massive hiking backpack that had him practically bent double.
“And!”
Tucker let out a cold huff, then smiled. “The Goddess has a husband with serious connections. She doesnt need your little brats kissing up to her!” fo FindNovel.net
Husband?
Mr. Schwartz was here too?
Just as everyone was looking around in confusion, the sharp sound of footsteps echoed from nearby.
A tall, striking man in a sharply tailored suit strode elegantly toward Juniper on long legs.
His handsome face was stony,
features sharp, and the aura
surrounding him was like a
suffocating storm cloud, instilling an
instinctive sense of fear content
“Mr. Schwartz.”
The grad students swallowed hard, instinctively parting to create a path for him,
greeting him respectfully.
“Mhm.”
Shanley had naturally seen the
scene just now. He gave a slight et
nod, his face calm and indifferent, though his deep eyes held a
terrifying glint.
A few of the students felt their hearts seize in panic, wishing they could bite their own tongues off.
“Mr. Schwartz won’t misunderstand, right?” one of the boys whispered to his friend.
His friend rolled his eyes. “Oh please, you’re not important enough for him to misunderstand.”
Boy: “That was harsh!”
“Are you sure you don’t need me to come with you?”
Shanley stepped up to Juniper, his icy gaze instantly softening.
The shift in his demeanor was so drastic he seemed like an entirely different person.
“No need.”
Juniper checked the time, her expression completely unfazed. “If everything goes smoothly, I’ll be back in a few days.”
“But I’m going to miss you…”
Shanley didn’t care if his image was completely shattered. He held onto her hand, refusing to let go, clinging to her like a needy puppy.
The group watching from a distance started whispering amongst themselves.
“Is that really Mr. Schwartz? He doesn’t look much like the guy on TV.”
“That’s putting it mildly. He doesn’t even look like the guy who just spoke to us.”
“I heard their wedding is on the 20th. Do you think Mr. Schwartz is worried the Goddess is going to make a run for it?”
