Chapter 122

    A pretty face, huh?


    She was definitely guilty of that.


    ...


    Meanwhile, after watching the youngdy walk away, Shanley immediately called Felton.


    "How''s that thing I asked for going?"


    "Reporting to you, Boss. The house has been purchased. It''s right next door to Ms. Payne''s new ce," Felton answered respectfully. "You can move in anytime."


    "Good," Shanley said, tapping his phone thoughtfully. "Let''s make it tonight."


    If he remembered correctly, Juniper was moving tomorrow. By moving in a day early,


    he could manufacture a chance encounter that wouldn''t seem suspicious.


    "Yes, Boss." Felton agreed, mentally giving his boss a thumbs-up. The man was a master strategist!


    After school, Juniper returned to Moulnds to find Saskia packing.


    “Saskia,” Juniper began, dropping her backpack. She hesitated for a moment before telling her the day''s news. “I found my brother."


    The box in Saskia''s hands ttered to the floor. She stared at Juniper in disbelief. "You found your brother?"


    “Yeah,” Juniper nodded, her voice soft. "The DNA test came back. It confirmed we''re rted."


    “Then..." Saskia paused for a second before rushing to Juniper''s side and taking her hands. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears. "Now that you''ve found him, are you going to leave me?"


    Saskia had a feeling this day woulde ever since Juniper first mentioned searching for her family, but she never expected it to be so soon.


    “Juniper, are you leaving us?" J chimed in, her expression full of sorrow.


    Over the past few days, they hade to see her as their own family. The thought of her leaving was unbearable.


    "No," Juniper said with a gentle smile, patting J''s cheek. "My brother has his own things to do, and besides...” They had only just met and didn''t know each other well. Living together right away would feel strange. "For now, I''m not going anywhere."


    “Really?” J''s face lit up. She looked at Juniper with wide, curious eyes. "So, what does your brother do?"


    “Um.....” Juniper thought for a moment. Jimmie seemed to be good at everything. After a few seconds of contemtion, she replied, “He''s in showbiz—you know, sings, ys instruments, that sort of thing."


    "Showbiz?" J''s excitement was palpable. "Is your brother a celebrity? What''s his name?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.


    "Jimmie," Juniper answered without a second thought.


    "Who?" J rushed forward, grabbing Juniper''s hands and shaking them


    frantically. “Juniper, who did you just say your brother is?"


    “Jimmie Tate,” Juniper repeated, blinking as if it were no big deal.


    "Oh my God!" J squealed, covering her face in disbelief. "Jimmie Tate! Your brother is the award-winning actor! The Jimmie Tate!"


    And she had just described him as someone who just ''sings and ys instruments''!


    Juniper sat on the sofa, calmly cracking open nuts,pletely unfazed. Was her brother really that big of a deal?


    "Juniper, can you get me an autographed photo?" J crouched by her feet, hands sped together, her eyes sparkling. “He is a national treasure! I absolutely adore him."


    “An autograph?" Juniper raised a delicate eyebrow, a nonchnt look on her face. "I''ll arrange for you to meet him one of these days."


    Meet him? J pinched her own cheek to see if she was dreaming.


    Ouch. She couldn''t even imagine how incredibly lucky she''d be on the day she got to sit down and have dinner with Jimmie.
