Chapter 155 Help Him Tie the Tie
Juniper finished washing up and glanced at the trending topics on her phone.
There were several heated trending topics.
It said: [NovaTech Innovations' CEO, Thomas Hawthorne, returned to the country yesterday]
[Thomas Hawthorne had a late-night date with a married woman]
[Robert Brown and his ex got back together]
[Mr. and Mrs. Brown both cheating on each other]
Juniper looked at these shocking trending topics and felt bad about it.
It was like a storm brewing.
There were even photos.
Ophelia got into Thomas's car.
Riley helped Robert into the InterContinental Hotel.
Magnus finished washing up and came downstairs.
He sat down at the dining table.
Juniper couldn't help but ask, "Did you see the trending topics?"
While Magnus was washing up, Paul had sent him the news.
He asked Magnus if he needed to handle it.
After all, Robert was also a high-ranking executive at the SY Group, and such scandals involving top executives weren't good for the company.
"Yes, I took a look."
Magnus seemed very calm.
The Browns and Robert, the parties involved, didn't seem to be in a hurry about this.
Magnus, as an outsider, was even less concerned.
Since Robert hadn't asked to remove the trending topics, it meant he wanted the scandal to escalate.
Perhaps Robert had made the news the trending topics.
It was possible.
With the Browns' background and Robert's silence, the media wouldn't dare to spread these matters widely.
However, Juniper was unaware of all this.
She quickly took a few bites of food. "I promised Ophelia I would accompany her back to the Perezs. Can you lend me a car?"
"I'll drive you there and get to know more about Robert and Ophelia's matter."
"Okay."
Juniper got up, but Magnus grabbed her wrist.
"What's wrong?"
Magnus looked at Juniper and glanced at the bag on the couch. "Is that tie you bought for me?"
If Magnus hadn't asked, Juniper would have forgotten.
Indeed, she bought it for him, but using his card.
It was because of a discount for buying two items, So, Juniper just picked one up.
Juniper brought the tie over, unwrapped it, and asked him, "Do you want to try it on?"
In her memory, Magnus usually wore ties with eagles or diagonal stripes, which were more business-like and formal.
The tie Juniper bought was a slightly narrower black tie, more casual.
She wasn't sure if he would like it.
It seemed like Magnus had never worn this kind of casual tie before.
Seeing Magnus not moving, Juniper thought he didn't like this style.
She said, "It's okay if you don't like it. It was 10% off, and it was basically free."
Magnus slightly bent down, indicating, "Help me put it on."
Was his hand injured?
Of course, Juniper didn't voice her thought.
Magnus looked down at Juniper.
Seven years had passed, and Juniper was standing in front of him, earnestly helping him with the tie.
It was as if they had never been apart for seven years.
It was if they had been together for seven years straight, and Juniper seemed quite adept at this.
She tied a simple knot.
This slightly narrower casual tie was suitable for a simple knot.
It was quickly tied.
Magnus was wearing a white shirt today, with two buttons open at the collar. The casual narrow tie was loosely wrapped around his neck, giving off an air of elegance with a hint of evilness inside.
Additionally, Magnus was somewhat aloof.
The restrained yet reckless contradictory feeling became even stronger.
Accidentally meeting Magnus's deep gaze, Juniper felt her heart inexplicably quickened.
"Let's go quickly. I'm afraid Ophelia will be in trouble when she returns to the Perezs."
If Patrick really got angry, he might hit Ophelia.
Ophelia wouldn't back down, and if she retorted, she would only end up being hit more badly.
Yelling came from the Perezs' villa.
The servants didn't dare to intervene. The air was filled with tension in the room.
Patrick pointed at Ophelia, berating her loudly, "I've raised you since you were young, nurturing you and spoiling you! I finally managed to get you into the prestigious Browns family! How dare you do such shameless things!"
"What's so good about that poor man Thomas? Can he be compared to the Browns? Robert's grandfather is someone with a background!"
"Now! Call Robert immediately! Apologize to him! Invite him over for dinner!"
Ophelia stood there with her eyes down, showing no emotion, and mocked, "Even if you invite him over for dinner and make me a servant, he wouldn't want me anymore. Accept the reality. I've been abandoned by the Browns."
Robert was with Riley last night.
He was probably still in dreamland.
Neither of them wanted to receive a call from Patrick.
Ophelia didn't want to make the call and ruin the mood.
Seeing Ophelia's uncooperative attitude, Patrick was furious!
After searching around, Patrick finally found a clothesline in the yard and hit Ophelia with it!
Ophelia's mother's eyes turned red with anxiety. "Can't you talk? Why are you hitting her? Just because you want Robert to come over for dinner? Let me make the call instead. Don't hit her..."
Ophelia stood there, neither running nor hiding, indifferent. "Mom, just let him beat me to death. If he does, he won't have to rush to send me to someone else's bed every day!"
