Chapter 190 Give Herself to Him
Patricia stumbled back to the booth from the dance floor and checked her phone for trending topics.
She remembered Juniper getting slammed online earlier today.
She wanted to catch up on some entertainment news, but Juniper's story was gone!
Thinking she was seeing things, Patricia searched keywords like "Harper Beaumont" and "Juniper," but the viral video with thousands of likes had vanished.
Juniper's stepmom had injured someone with a knife at a mall, causing a bloody scene. How could such a big story disappear in just a few hours?
Patricia squinted. Someone must've suppressed the trending topic.
Netizens were still posting heated discussions from private accounts.
But soon after posting, network admins deleted them, citing violent content. Yet, the more something got blocked, the more people talked about it privately.
[This is too scary. What kind of connections does Beaumont have to block the whole internet?]
[I believe the rumors now. She must have a powerful sugar daddy.]
[The speed of this block is insane!]
[Her sugar daddy must be a big shot!]
[The guy in that video looks like the SY Group boss!]
[You mean the SY Group boss, Blackwood?]
[Yeah, that's him! He's been in interview videos. It's definitely him!]
[So the rumors about Harper Beaumont wanting a baby for her sugar daddy are probably true!]
[Totally! I heard she's trying to marry into a wealthy family.]
Patricia saw these ridiculous comments and replied with her private account: [Mr. Blackwood from SY would never marry her! She gave false testimony seven years ago and got him imprisoned for three years! She's selfish and awful!]
After posting, Patricia logged out, not expecting her comment to blow up.
Netizens quickly dug up the story about Juniper's false testimony from seven years ago.
The next day, Beaumont's account was flooded with comments.
Meanwhile, Juniper and Magnus returned to Royal View from the hospital.
Jenny, hearing the car, ran out holding a kitten.
She wasn't just there to greet her parents; she wanted her juice! She'd been waiting all afternoon!
Jenny immediately noticed Magnus's bandaged arm. "Daddy, what happened to your arm?"
Magnus said, "There was an accident."
Jenny asked worriedly, "Daddy, will your arm be okay?"
Magnus just rubbed her head and comforted her. "It's not serious. It'll be fine."
The family walked towards the villa, with Juniper holding Jenny's hand.
Jenny asked, "Mommy, where's my juice?"
Juniper remembered and said apologetically, "I left it at the mall."
With Isolde causing chaos and cutting Magnus's arm, no one cared about the juice. After five or six hours, it was probably spoiled.
Juniper was about to promise they'd buy it next time.
But Magnus pulled out his phone and handed it to Juniper. "Order takeout."
Jenny's eyes lit up. "Mommy, order! I want juice!" She'd been craving it for days!
Inside the villa, Juniper held Magnus's phone, ready to unlock it.
She hesitated, thinking of letting Jenny use her phone instead since she didn't know Magnus's password.
Magnus, standing beside her, calmly said, "The password is your birthday, 19980606."
Juniper's eyes widened slightly. Her birthday wasn't a day worth celebrating.
Seven years ago, on June 6th, they had a wonderful birthday together, but she accused him of a crime that night.
Juniper held his phone, frozen for a moment.
She felt unworthy, a feeling that started the moment she testified against him in court seven years ago.
Seeing Juniper in a daze, Jenny tugged at her sleeve. "Mommy, I want to order juice!"
Juniper entered the password, opened the takeout app, and searched for juice. "Look, which one do you want?"
Jenny pointed, "This one, juice!" She loved it.
After ordering, Juniper noticed the delivery fee was more expensive than the juice itself!
She handed the phone to Magnus for payment.
Magnus didn't take the phone and instead said, "980606."
Juniper was stunned. Even the payment password was her birthday?
He actually trusted her with it! Did he not fear she'd run off with his money?
After ordering, Juniper said, "You should change the payment password."
Magnus asked, "Why?"
Juniper replied, "Now that I know it, if someone steals your money, I'd be the first suspect."
Magnus laughed in exasperation. He almost wished she cared about his money.
At least then, she'd stay by his side. As long as he didn't go bankrupt, she'd be loyal.
This thought made Magnus feel ridiculous.
He took the phone, said nothing more, and went upstairs.
Jenny noticed the red marks on Juniper's neck and pointed. "Mommy, is your neck hurt too? It's red."
Juniper touched her neck. They were kiss marks from Magnus earlier in the car.
When they were about to go all the way, Magnus stopped.
Actually, Juniper wanted him to continue.
At least then, she'd feel that once his arm was healed, she could break off the relationship without any reservations.
Every day with Magnus, she fell deeper, but the guilt grew stronger.
This conflict was tearing her apart.
Ophelia sent a message: [Juniper, turn off the comments on your account! Don't look!]
Juniper opened her account and saw a flood of nasty comments.
But she felt nothing.
They weren't wrong. Seven years ago, she gave false testimony and betrayed Magnus. Even though she later recanted, it was still unclear.
When you owed someone too much and couldn't repay them, the first reaction was to escape, to stay away from everything related to them.
Magnus was like a mirror. Seeing him reminded her of her crimes.
And of Lyra's death.
This was the chasm between them.
At night, Juniper took a bath and changed into a sexy silk nightgown.
Magnus had shielded her from a knife, and she didn't want to owe him. The only way was to willingly have a sexual relationship with him.
Before going to his study, Juniper took out a bottle of medicine and swallowed two more pills.
Just as she did, she felt warmth behind her.
A chest pressed against her, and Magnus's deep voice asked in her ear, "Did you wear this on purpose?"
