The sunlight seemed to wrap around her, creating a golden halo that made her fair, stunning features shine even brighter.
Even the reporters, who had seen their share of beautiful faces, couldn''t help but raise their cameras.
The students from both Aurora High and Era High were shocked. They couldn''t believe Juniper actually had the nerve to show up. They were curious to see how she would exin the Twitter fiasco.
"Queenie,e here," Juniper said, stopping beside the reporters and looking at Queenie.
"Okay." Queenie seized the opportunity to slip through the crowd and cling to Juniper''s arm.
“Juniper, are the rumors online true?" All the cameras swiveled to focus on her as a reporter asked aggressively, "What is your motive for impersonating Master Lunar?"
"Why would I need to impersonate myself?" Juniper looked up, her gaze sweeping coolly over the crowd. A faint, sharp smile touched her lips. "As for my motive... it''s to shut you clueless reporters up."
She just wanted to study in peace, but they all just had to force her to reveal her identity, didn''t they?
Her tone was cold and arrogant. The nerve of this girl! The reporters were almost impressed by her ability to lie with a straight face.
"No one has ever seen Master Lunar, so she can say whatever she wants," one reporter muttered to another. They started a live broadcast to let the world watch the joke unfold.
"It''s simple,” another reporter challenged loudly. "The dress was bought by Master Lunar, so there must be a purchase record. All it takes is a call to The One to confirm it, right?"
The one who suggested it felt like a genius. They couldn''t stand arrogant people, and they were eager to see this girl get taken down a peg.
"Fine," Juniper said, stepping forward until she was right in front of the reporter, her eyes glinting like ice. "Watch closely."
With that, she took out her phone and contacted The One.
Everyone watched, most of them with smug expressions, waiting for her lie to grow bigger and bigger until it copsed. After all, while Master Lunar was unreachable, The One was not. Exposing her would be easy.
Queenie wrung her hands, her mind aplete nk as she stared at Juniper on the phone.
Juniper sent an email with her ount details, order number, and all relevant information to The One.
But just as she imed to be contacting them, The One posted a new tweet, stating their zero-tolerance policy for counterfeit goods.
Didn''t that just prove Queenie''s dress was a fake? What exactly was Juniper rifying?
"You have to be pathologically shameless to be this calm," an Era High student sneered, shaking his head. "Acting soposed, you''d almost think she really was Lunar."
The reporters on the scene were convinced the girl was a lost cause, apulsive liar. They were certain now: Juniper was lying. Lunar was a fake, the dress was a fake, everything was a fake.
They eagerly began typing up new headlines.
#Juniper Lies
#Juniper Exposed By The One
But before they could hit post, Twitter exploded again.
The One had deleted their previous tweet and posted a new one.
[Just moments ago, Master Lunar personally contacted us. Based on the
information provided, we can confirm that the gown worn by Ms. Queenie of Aurora High School is indeed an authentic piece from The One. We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding Ms. Queenie has endured. @Lunar]
At the end, they even tagged Lunar''s ount.
"Huh?"
"Is that really The One''s official ount?"
The reporters, suddenly terrified, frantically clicked on the profile. When they saw
the official checkmark, their faces went pale.
