Failing was failing. If he reported the facts, he didn''t believe Jimmie could do a thing to him.


    With that, the reporter turned on his live stream camera, aimed it at Ynda, and with a feigned tremble of his hand, made sure to pan over and capture Juniper in the frame.


    The title read: #Uncovering Era University''s "Genius Program” On-Site Recruitment#


    As soon as the stream went live, viewers flooded in. It had two major draws: the Genius Program and the famous actor''s sister.


    [The Genius Program is back? Who are they here for? Ynda or Juniper?] [Have you not seen the news about Juniper''s wild antics during the exam?]


    [Ynda''s reputation might be questionable, but she was always in the top ten at Era High. Juniper... I don''t think she even finished high school properly, right?] [Breaking! A friend of a friend who works at Jimmie''s studio said Juniper only scored 280.]


    [Jimmie got a 680 on his entrance exam, and his sister got a 280? One''s a real ace, the other''s a real joke?]


    [What an embarrassment! Ever since her famous brother acknowledged her, her reputation has plummeted! Was the DNA test really urate?]


    [Ynda is the top scorer? And she was invited by the Genius Program?]


    [Compared to Ynda, what does Juniper have besides a pretty face and a bunch of trashy headlines?]


    [Get lost, Juniper, stop ruining your brother''s career and polluting the inte!]


    Watching the rumors spiral and the insults against Juniper multiply, the Timespan Weekly reporter smirked maliciously. He was a somebody in the industry, and she had dared to publicly humiliate him? If he didn''t ruin her reputation, he might as well quit his job.


    Ynda was also scrolling on her phone and saw the live stream. Juniper was in the same cafe? She must have heard the reporter say the Genius Program professors were here for her. She must be hiding in the corner out of shame.


    Ynda had always been the one feeling inferior in Juniper''s presence; now, finally, it was her turn to shine. Once the admissions team arrived, she would make sure to rub it in Juniper''s face.


    In the corner, Qadir saw the live stream and immediately showed it to Juniper.


    "Holy crap," he cursed. "That scumbag reporter across the room is live-streaming and trashing you."


    "The Genius Program professors are here for Ynda?" Queenie snorted withughter at thement. "Theizens are bold to guess, and she''s bold enough to ept it. The audacity."


    “Juniper, are you sure the Genius Program professors are here for you?" J asked cautiously, fiddling with her fork.


    Juniper propped her chin on her hand and slowly turned her head, her eyes narrowing. Before she could answer, her phone rang again.


    "Yes," Juniper said, putting the call on speaker. Her voice was quiet, but everyone at the table could hear. "A professor from the Sundale University admissions team?”


    Sundale University? The two most famous universities in the Orient Country were Sundale in the south and Era in the north. They were equally prestigious.


    "Okay," Juniper said, sipping her


    water, toozy to listen to the


    Sundale professor''s long-winded pitch. The address is the coffee shop on Canova Road in Ecara City. Let''s talk in person."


    "Yes, of course!" The professors from Sundale University happily agreed.


    "However," Juniper paused, then added a warning. "The professors from Era University areing too. Whoever gets here first, I''ll go to their school. Fair enough?"


    Era University? They were that fast?
