Chapter 781 Destroy It Now
On the TV screen, Douglas was being chased and surrounded by a group of reporters with cameras.
Elara kept saying with satisfaction, "See, I told you so, karma came so quickly. It must be God hearing my curse!"
Juniper wanted to laugh. These two women only dared to say such things behind his back.
In front of Douglas, they were cowards, unable to do anything to him, yet they believed their curse had worked.
Only a fool would think that way.
If curses worked, who knows if you'd even live to see the next life.
She was never one to sit and wait; she liked to take matters into her own hands!
"Juniper, look at your poor taste, finding such a jerk?"
"Isn't there always someone willing to fight over such jerks? Stealing someone else's things and then blaming them for being bad, that's just shameless. I can't help but laugh."
"You—wasn't it you who brought that troublemaker into the house? Otherwise, how would Saffron have met him? You couldn't control him, he seduced Saffron, and our Saffron is so naive to fall for it!"
Juniper glanced at Saffron, "Naive? Wasn't she the one who made the first move? Liking to steal others' things, this is the consequence."
"Honey, listen to her, she's still being sarcastic at a time like this, how vicious!" Elara said angrily.
Aaron replied, "Juniper is also telling the truth. Saffron, you need to learn to judge people better. Don't get pregnant before you're sure about marriage. Look at the mess now..."
"How can you say that? If it weren't for Juniper causing Saffron to miscarry, Saffron would be married by now."
Aaron frowned, "Didn't you watch the news? Marrying that jerk would be a disaster for life. Losing the baby is a good thing; otherwise, what would you do when he goes to jail? Raise the child alone?"
Elara cursed, "No matter what, Saffron and I are always wrong, and Juniper is always right. You're just biased towards her."
"I'm teaching her to be more like Juniper, independent and self-reliant. Don't always rely on men, or you'll end up like this again."
"You... both of you, get out!"
Aaron sighed and left with Juniper.
"Dad is so biased. Mom, I feel so bad, I don't want to live anymore..." Saffron cried.
"Saffron, don't think like that. That bitch is just trying to break you down, make you give up. We need to stay clear-headed and work hard to take over the Cooper Group."
"But Dad has made it so clear, I don't see any hope."
"We still have one last trick, don't we? That fortune teller gave me a powerful drug. We'll get him to sign the will while he's out of it."
"That fortune teller again? Is it a scam?" Saffron was now very skeptical and resentful of fortune tellers, having been deceived by that fortune teller before.
"And isn't this illegal? I don't want to go to jail. Mom, maybe we should just be honest and stop fighting? At least Dad will still support us and not kick us out. I can just find a rich man to marry."
"You're too naive. With Juniper slowly taking control of the house, she'll definitely kick us out. If we don't prepare for ourselves, we'll end up on the streets. If we're pushed to that point, we have to take a gamble. Either we get the Cooper Group, or we end up with nothing!"
Juniper had just left the hospital, head down, texting Brice, when an old van suddenly screeched to a halt in front of her. Two masked men jumped out and dragged her into the van.
"Help..."
Juniper didn't even have time to call for help before she was dragged into the van, her cries for help muffled by the door.
The two men held her shoulders, twisting her arms behind her back.
"Douglas? Aren't you already caught?" Juniper panicked. He was now a fugitive, capable of anything.
"Even if I'm caught, I'll find a way to escape and settle the score with you. You vicious woman, I was doing fine until you messed with me and tried to get me jailed. How could I let you go!" Douglas said viciously.
Juniper tried to stay calm and negotiate, "Let me go, and I'll have them drop the charges."
"You think I'd believe your lies? If I let you go, you won't keep your promise. And with all the evidence online, even if they drop the charges, the police won't let me go. I have to flee the country, but before I do, I need to settle the score with you."
"There's a car following us," the driver reminded.
Douglas glanced outside, "Damn, it's Anthony again. Drive faster, lose him!"
"Juniper, you really have some skills. Anthony still can't forget you. Don't you have a boyfriend abroad? Playing with two men at once? How cheap can you be? No number of men can satisfy you, huh?"
"A woman like you, who knows how many men you'll ruin in the future... Today, I'll serve justice..." Douglas said, pulling out a sharp, gleaming knife.
Juniper broke into a cold sweat, "Don't do anything rash, murder is a capital crime."
"Hahaha, scared I'll kill you?" Douglas's knife tip touched Juniper's delicate right cheek, threatening to cut at any moment.
"Aren't you usually so arrogant? Stepping all over me, and now you're scared?"
"You're just tough on the outside, calling me a coward, but you're the real coward."
"A woman shouldn't be too self-righteous, too smart, or too heartless, or you'll end up suffering."
"Look, your life is in my hands now, Juniper. You can't beat me," Douglas said coldly.
Juniper swallowed nervously, trembling. She didn't dare move, fearing the blade would cut her face. No one wants to be disfigured.
"But don't worry, I won't kill you. I have a thousand times more interesting ways..." Douglas muttered.
"You use this face to seduce men, don't you? Are you proud of it? What if I scarred your pretty face? Would any man fall for you then?"
"Don't do it! Douglas! Hurting someone is a serious crime."
"Once I scar your face, I'll flee the country. Even if I can't escape, I'm going to jail anyway. A few more years don't matter, but it will ruin your life."
"That car isn't losing us, it's catching up," the driver said anxiously.
'Hurry, save me, Anthony...' Juniper urged internally.
"Because of this face, I've suffered so much. Now I'll ruin it!" Douglas said, his eyes fierce, slashing down.
Juniper closed her eyes in fear. Her face...
