An elder, afraid of a junior? Especially a man like Mr. Schwartz, whose mere nce could make most people tremble. This girl was turning the world on its head.


    Juniper just smiled, saying nothing.


    Their private jet took off just three minutes after Byron''s flight. Their boarding times were the same, but their gates were different.


    "Tucker?" Byron, about to use the priority boardingne, stopped short when he saw them. "Howe I didn''t see you earlier?"


    "Oh? What a shame," Tucker replied dismissively, ncing at the time. "We''rete, gotta go."


    With that, Tucker and Juniper were led by an attendant to a different gate, one that waspletely empty except for them.


    "Where are they going?" Byron asked, confused. "Are there two separate gates?”


    "No, sir," the staff member exined with a polite smile. "That''s the entrance for private jets."


    "Private jets?" Byron''s face changed instantly, his voice shooting up in disbelief. "Are you saying the two of them are flying on a private jet?"


    "That''s correct," the staffer confirmed. "A private aircraft is departing for Moralia Country at the same time as our flight."


    A private jet? How could a penniless guy like Tucker afford a private jet? It had to be Juniper. Her brother was a superstar, so it made sense he could afford one.


    Byron''s expression turned ugly as he watched them disappear. He had hoped to make Tucker jealous, but in the end, the joke was on him. He''d never even seen the inside of a private jet. If he had just made a move and contacted Juniper first, maybe he would have been the one flying private today.


    At three in the morning, the nended at the airport in Moralia Country. Shanley''s men were already waiting at the entrance.


    "Mr. Schwartz," one of them said respectfully, "the hotel is all arranged. Shall we head over now?"


    "Yes," Shanley nodded, his gaze shifting to Tucker.


    "Oh, you don''t have to worry about me," Tucker said, waving his hands hastily. He guessed the hotel Shanley booked would be expensive, and he didnt like to freeload can find a cheap room on my own. Just make sure Juniper is with you, Mr. Schwartz. It''s not safe for a young woman to be alone."


    Shanley looked at Tucker and understood why Juniper was willing to help him. He was a simple, honest old man... just with terrible judgment and a knack for saying the wrong thing.


    "Everything''s already been taken care of," Juniper said with a yawn, lowering her voice. "You need to rest well tonight so you can be at your best tomorrow."


    "Besides," she added, "Shanley already paid for it all. It''d be a waste not to stay." "Shanley''? What''s with theck of respect?" Tucker immediately switched to his stern teacher mode. “You must be polite to your elders, do you understand?"


    "Fine," Juniper said with a slight arch of her brow, then motioned for one of the men to lead Tucker to the car.


    Tucker felt a bit embarrassed, but being in an unfamiliar ce, he had no choice but to follow He sighed, He''d just have to ask his wife for some extra money when he got back.


    Once Tucker was in the car, Juniperzily turned her gaze to Shanley and said deliberately, "Well, Uncle, aren''t youing?"


    Shanley froze.
