Chapter 398 Humiliation (3)
Steven had been drinking and was already quite tipsy.
He thought it was impossible for any man to be so forgiving as to marry a woman who had framed him.
He assumed that Magnus's mention of "giving stars" was sarcastic. After all, such behavior was beyond his understanding.
So he said, "Exactly! Juniper, why don't you say Magnus gave you the moon too!"
Magnus looked down at Juniper and said clearly, "Juniper got it wrong. I didn't just give her a black card."
Steven laughed. "Juniper, let's see how you keep up the act!"
Electra wasn't surprised. "Juniper, caught in a lie, huh?"
Magnus frowned slightly and asked Juniper, "I remember giving you three black cards? You even cut one of them."
When he gave her the first black card, their relationship was still a bit strained. Before he let her return to Southern City, she gave the card back to him.
At that time, Magnus was having a bipolar episode, feeling extremely irritable, and he broke the card in half.
The second black card was given to her when she misunderstood that he was engaged to someone else in Solara. In a fit of anger, she cut up the card and threw away the pink diamond ring.
The third black card was given to her recently, and it was intact in her possession. But there was no guarantee that she wouldn't cut it up again during a future argument.
Steven and Electra looked puzzled.
Clio sensed that something was off.
She saw that Magnus not only had his right arm around Juniper's waist but also held her hand with his left, squeezing it in a gesture that was both intimate and possessive.
Juniper's left hand rested in Magnus's palm.
A luxurious and conspicuous diamond ring was prominently displayed on her ring finger!
It was the same ring from the social media screenshot!
Magnus's fiancée... was... Juniper!
Clio looked at them in shock.
Her brain hadn't yet processed the information.
She only heard Magnus say, "Juniper just accepted my proposal. The wedding isn't ready yet, but when it is, we'll invite you all."
Everyone was momentarily stunned by the news, falling silent.
The wind on the terrace was strong, and the cigarette in Steven's hand was still burning.
Magnus raised his hand to adjust Juniper's open coat and extended his hand to her, "Mrs. Blackwood, shall we go home?"
Juniper placed her hand in his palm and said just one word, "Yes."
Then, their fingers intertwined.
Under the stunned and shocked gazes of everyone, Magnus and Juniper walked hand in hand off the terrace.
Electra was furious. "What's going on? Has Magnus lost his mind? Juniper is his enemy!"
Clio's fingers unconsciously dug into her palm, her face turning pale.
Why? Why did Juniper get to become Magnus's fiancée?
After everything Juniper did to him, he could still forgive her and reconcile?
What did Juniper do to deserve this?
Anyone could be Magnus's fiancée, but Juniper was the least deserving!
She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and followed them.
In the parking lot.
Magnus was opening the driver's side door, one hand resting on the car roof, as Juniper was about to get in.
They exchanged a few words, and Magnus smiled, pulling Juniper close and wrapping his arm around her waist, kissing her by the car.
Magnus kissed her for a long time, and Juniper gently pushed him away.
But Magnus seemed unsatisfied, leaning down to kiss her forehead before letting her into the driver's seat.
Magnus then walked around the front of the car to the passenger side.
Not far away, Clio watched the scene with hatred, nearly breaking her nails.
But she was always adaptable.
As soon as Magnus got into the passenger seat, she quickly walked over to the car.
Juniper saw her and rolled down the driver's side window. "Clio? Is there something you need?"
Clio smiled shyly, "Juniper, it's really hard to get a cab here. I just tried, and there are over two hundred people ahead of me in line. Can I catch a ride with you guys?"
Fearing Juniper might refuse, Clio quickly added, "Just to the subway station on the way. You can drop me off there! Is that okay?"
