Chapter 142 Putting the Pink Diamond on Her Finger
Juniper turned to look at the man beside her, her gaze slightly dazed.
Back together?
Patricia's fingers had already pinched into her palm.
Magnus wore a ring on his ring finger, but what about Juniper's? Juniper's ring finger was empty.
She couldn't believe they could reconcile.
Didn't Juniper know that her mother was killed by Ava?
"Is the ring Magnus is wearing your couple's ring? Juniper, why aren't you wearing yours?"
Seemingly kind inquiries were actually meant to expose them.
Juniper casually replied, "Forgot to wear it."
She certainly couldn't brush off the debtor's face and leave the debtor losing face.
She owed Magnus 49 million dollars, so naturally she had to lean towards the debtor.
Just when everyone thought this matter would end up this way, Magnus suddenly reached into his western trousers pocket and pulled out a small black velvet box.
Opening it, there was a pink diamond inside.
Ophelia was extremely shocked. Was he going to propose? All of a sudden?
Robert threw down his fork and complained, "Come on, how are we going to enjoy our meals? You guys are being too sweet."
Patricia's face turned sour.
And Michael, sitting there, holding a glass of wine, tilted his head back and finished it in one gulp.
Juniper was also stunned.
If earlier it was just to tease Patricia, she really couldn't understand Magnus's current move.
Magnus held her hand and slipped the pink diamond onto her ring finger.
The size was just right, not too tight or loose. The pink diamond had a deep luster, dazzling under the light, stirring up a storm in Patricia's heart.
Juniper was still in shock.
Hearing Magnus's indulgent tone, "Last time you said you lost it, I found it under the sofa, probably taken by the cat. From now on, never take it off again so it won’t be lost."
Juniper was overwhelmed by Magnus's words.
Ophelia was almost deceived, her jaw-dropping, "Are you living together?"
Didn't Juniper stay in a hotel a few days ago? And didn't Juniper swear that she just wanted to repay Magnus's money as soon as possible? Were they serious? Why didn't Juniper tell her?
At the table, some were happy, some were sad.
The pink diamond was about two carats.
Juniper's fingers were slender, and the two-carat pink diamond worn on her ring finger was neither too vulgar nor too inconspicuous.
Plus, Juniper's pale white skin, and the faint pink diamond glow, made her fingers look noble and elegant.
Magnus put the diamond ring on her right ring finger.
Whenever she lifted her fork, the pink diamond would sway in front of Patricia's eyes.
Patricia clenched her fists under the table.
Her eyes seemed to shoot out sharp blades, wanting to chop off Juniper's ring finger.
Halfway through the meal, Robert raised his glass and said, "Since Michael left the group, we rarely gather. Michael, you should bring Sinclair along. You guys are sweet too."
The three men drank several glasses. At the dinner table, Michael kept drinking quietly, not saying much.
Magnus naturally noticed and asked, "Where's Sinclair? Why didn't she come?"
Michael said, "She said she was feeling a bit unwell today, so I didn't let her come. Next time, I'll bring her over."
Feeling unwell? Juniper and Ophelia subconsciously exchanged a glance.
They had met Sinclair at the hospital during the day and knew that Sinclair was pregnant, not just feeling unwell.
So, Sinclair really didn't intend to tell Michael about the pregnancy? Patricia snorted disapprovingly,
"She's just making a fuss. If she's feeling unwell, it's just because she's afraid of seeing Juniper."
Suddenly, Michael snapped, "Patricia!"
“Why are you shouting? I'm just stating the truth. She always dresses like Juniper, isn't it obvious? Doesn't she have her own unique style? Always copying others, and let's be real, Juniper just looks better than her.”
Patricia's tone made it seem like she was on Juniper's side, but in reality, she was just trying to provoke.
If Magnus knew that her brother also liked Juniper, what would he think?
Would he think that Juniper was a fickle woman who tried to seduce even his friends?
Michael, holding his glass of wine, looked embarrassed.
He shouted at Patricia, "Shut up! Sinclair is your sister-in-law! If you continue like this, I’ll send you abroad!"
Patricia pouted, feeling a bit wronged, and said softly, "But you're not married yet."
Michael immediately changed the topic.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became awkward for a moment.
Juniper chose to play dumb.
As the dinner was coming to an end, she stood up and said, "I'll go to the restroom first, take your time."
Not long after Juniper left, Patricia followed.
In the restroom.
Juniper was washing her hands.
Patricia stood by the sink next to her, glanced at the pink diamond being washed by the clear water on her ring finger, and complimented, "Your ring is so pretty!"
Juniper finished washing her hands and smiled, "Would you like to try it on?"
"Can I?"
Patricia's eyes showed desire.
"Of course not. Everyone wants good things, but some things don't belong to you."
This pink diamond didn't belong to Patricia, nor did it belong to her.
She was just wearing it temporarily.
Patricia's eyes turned cold, but quickly she suppressed her anger and said with a smile, "Juniper, have you met Sinclair? Although she's not as pretty as you, the first time I saw her, I really thought she was quite extraordinary!"
Juniper listened attentively, "What's so special about her?"
"She looks quite similar to you."
"Really? Perhaps beautiful women like us all look somewhat alike."
‘Still pretending to not care,’ Patricia thought.
She couldn't hold back and directly attacked, "Have you never thought about why? My brother likes you. Can't you see it, or are you pretending that you don’t know?"
Juniper was about to leave, but she stopped upon hearing this.
"I don't care who your brother likes. But it wasn’t nice of you to talk about your brother’s privacy in public."
Patricia, in high heels, also left the restroom.
She glanced around and saw Magnus walking towards them.
Suddenly she asked Juniper, "Don't you like my brother? Juniper, stop pretending. If you haven't shown any interest in my brother, why would he like you for so many years?
"Admit it, you're flirting with two men at the same time. My brother was enchanted by you. My brother is so obsessed with Sinclair just because she looks a bit like you.
"Have you seduced my brother? You gave him false hope, right?"
Patricia spoke loudly, afraid that Magnus couldn't hear.
Juniper looked at her slightly fierce face and chuckled.
