Chapter 149 He Had the Drink
Michael walked up to Juniper and handed her the cup of juice, "Have a drink, where's Magnus?"
Juniper took it out of politeness, "He's got something to do today, said he'll come later."
Michael stood next to her with a glass of champagne, took a sip, not knowing what to talk about.
"Where's Ophelia? I just saw her with you."
"She went to the restroom," she answered curtly.
Patricia not far away stared anxiously at Juniper.
‘Why isn't she drinking yet?’
Juniper picked up the juice cup, about to take a sip.
Magnus's voice suddenly sounded, "Juniper."
Juniper paused and looked up.
The man approached with long strides, his arm draped in a suit jacket, his shirt collar unbuttoned three buttons, not as neatly dressed as usual, indicating that he came in a hurry.
What was he busy with today?
On the other side of the banquet, Karen also saw Magnus.
She shook the champagne in her hand, about to go over and say hello to K.
Her gaze paused on the woman next to Magnus.
The woman had her back turned, with her long hair tied in a low bun, exposing her fair back. Just below her shoulder blades, there was a light blue birthmark.
Karen's watery eyes trembled.
Her foster father had said that his daughter also had a light blue birthmark on her back.
Was it a coincidence?
She wanted to take a closer look.
Magnus draped the suit jacket he had wrapped his arm around over the woman.
Her back was covered.
Karen's gaze shifted from the woman's back to her face.
It was Juniper!
"K, did you see her back just now?"
K frowned slightly and gave a fair assessment, "Yes, it’s beautiful and skinny."
Magnus had a good taste. The woman he came with was stunning.
Karen gave him a look and her mouth twitched, "I asked if you saw the birthmark on her back!"
K innocently and honestly replied, "No, I just glanced, although she's pretty, she's not my type."
He didn't look closely because she wasn’t his type.
Superficial.
Karen wondered if she had seen it right.
She narrowed her eyes and ordered, "Let's go and say hello to Magnus."
Magnus looked down at Juniper, in front of Michael, he reached out and adjusted the suit jacket on her. "Are you cold?"
The air conditioning was on and the temperature was rather low. Due to her weak lungs, she often caught colds and had fevers.
Juniper was indeed a little cold, probably due to her poor health, in the middle of summer in a place with strong air conditioning, she was also extremely sensitive to the cold.
She subconsciously adjusted the jacket on her body, and nodded, "Much better."
Just now, the air conditioning had made her throat a bit sore.
Magnus took the iced drink from her hand, and took a sip very naturally, as if testing the temperature for her.
He frowned slightly, "It's cold, don't drink it."
After speaking, he placed the drink on the bar.
Patricia, who had been watching the situation here in the corner, was furious.
Juniper didn’t even take a sip.
Magnus actually drank it!
When Matthew gave her this frug, he specifically reminded her that it was very strong.
She had just put the whole pack in. Although Magnus only took a sip, it wouldn't be surprising if he became excited in a while.
She had to distract Juniper and get close to Magnus!
She couldn't let Juniper take advantage.
Michael’s heart ached to see their intimate behaviors.
He tightened the glass in his hand, but his face remained calm as he remarked, "Looks like there are hot drinks over there."
Magnus was pulling Juniper towards the hot drinks when Karen came over.
Karen smiled, "Mr. Blackwood, it's an honor to meet you."
Magnus nodded slightly. "Hello."
Her gaze fell on the hands they held, and she said with a faint smile, "Oh, hey, Juniper. Are you getting married soon?”
Although both were Christopher's foster daughters, Juniper and Karen weren't close.
Juniper was not very outgoing. She nodded politely towards Karen.
Karen, who was good at socializing, said, "When you two get married, Juniper, Dad will surely prepare a wonderful gift for you. I wish you and Mr. Blackwood happy forever.”
She raised her champagne glass, taking a sip.
Magnus chuckled lightly. "Thanks."
Juniper looked at him, finding him serious.
For a moment, it felt like they were indeed getting married.
As Magnus led Juniper past Karen, something happened.
Karen made a subtle move.
Juniper's suit jacket slipped off her shoulder and fell to the ground.
She immediately looked up to see Juniper’s back, and the birthmark, once again vividly showed up.
It was a blue oval-shaped birthmark in the size of a coin.
Karen's eyes darted momentarily, but she swiftly bent down, picked up the jacket, gave it a symbolic shake even though it wasn't dirty, and handed it back to Juniper with a sweet smile, saying, "Sorry.”
After Magnus and Juniper left, K snorted, "Did you see it clearly this time?"
"If she really is Quinn, I won't let her have a chance to return to Lindwood City."
K swirled the champagne in his hand, took a sip, and commented, "What a ruthless woman. She could even be a matchmaker as long as she could get the Windsor Group."
"Juniper will be his cute wife, and I will be the boss of Windsor Group. It’s a win-win.”
K looked at her, agreeing, "Women are truly unpredictable."
Karen glanced at him.
K was becoming more and more cryptic.
She'd just fire him when she had enough of it.
Juniper had some hot drink, feeling her throat ease a bit.
Robert also arrived, glanced at Magnus and Juniper, and teased, "Haven't seen you two in a while. Hiding here for some alone time? Where's Ophelia?”
"She's been in the restroom for a while, I'll go check on her."
Juniper held her gown and headed towards the restroom.
Magnus watched her back, his gaze deep, lost in thought.
Robert snapped his fingers in front of him, "Everyone has left, and you're still here watching? Are you so worried that Juniper will leave that you have to keep an eye on her even when she goes to the restroom? You're too obsessed.”
Magnus casually mentioned, "I saw Thomas Hawthorne just now."
"Thomas Hawthorne? Who's that?"
As Robert said that, his hand holding the champagne froze.
Thomas Hawthorne.
The name Ophelia called out in her sleep.
He paused, "Is he back?"
Magnus said, "Ophelia hasn't returned for so long, maybe she's catching up with him."
Robert tossed the champagne in his hand onto the bar counter, spilling some out.
He stood up and headed towards the restroom.
Magnus followed behind him, lazily asking, "Where are you going?"
Robert gritted his teeth, "To catch them!"
Magnus was about to catch up. The next second, his vision went black.
He lost his balance.
