"This is a wee gift from Celine and me. It''s not much, just something for you to have fun with."


    Juniper nced down at the card, her eyes scanning the bnce. One zero, two zeros, three, four, five, six... So many zeros. He was trying to bribe her by appealing to her interests.


    Before she could finish counting, one of her subordinates announced, "Boss, your guests have arrived."


    A momentter, Jimmie, Harold, Melvin, and Ebony Fox walked in side by side. Their footsteps were loud and rhythmic, and theirbined presence was overwhelmingly powerful. None of them looked like people you''d want to cross.


    Warren''s fingers tightened unconsciously, his face turning grim.


    "Over here." Juniper waved, and her three brothers and sister immediately approached.


    "Ooh." Celine, who had never seen so many strangers staring at her so intensely, hid behind Juniper in fear.


    "It''s okay, Celine. They''re our brothers and sister," Juniper said, taking Celine''s hand and introducing them gently. "They love you, just like I do."


    Seeing Celine''s condition, even though they had prepared themselves mentally, the reality of it was still a painful blow.


    "Let''s not scare her," Jimmie said with a frown.


    “Right.” Juniper nodded, cleared her throat, and spoke again. "There''s someone else you should all meet. This is Warren Sherwin, the lord of Liberty Ind and Celine''s husband."


    At her words, all eyes turned to the man standing beside her.


    Warren stood up, shedding his usual cold and ruthless demeanor, and put on a respectable front. "I''m Celine''s husband, Warren."


    The siblings stared at him, looking him up and down. He was handsome, tall, and the lord of Liberty Ind... His qualifications were decent enough for Celine.


    "I heard..." Melvin was the first to speak, letting out a sharp huff. "That you locked Juniper in a dark room a few days ago? And starved her for two meals!"


    Did he have any idea what skipping two meals meant to his foodie sister?


    "Is that true?" Jimmie chimed in, his gaze turning icy.


    "Locked in a dark room?" Ebony Fox couldn''t tolerate that. Her eyes moved to Juniper, examining her from head to toe.


    Warren was speechless, paralyzed with embarrassment.


    "It''s fine." Juniper quietly slipped the gold card into her purse. A brilliant smile reced her usual cool expression. It wa


    misunderstanding, and we''ve


    ?????


    cleared it up," she said lightly."Right, my brother-inw?"


    Warren was so stunned by the term "brother-inw" that it took him a moment to recover. “Yes, a misunderstanding,” he mumbled. “My mistake."


    If he''d known it was this easy to appease her, he should have just thrown money at her from the start.


    The others exchanged confused nces.


    "He''s been very good to Celine, too," Juniper continued, recounting her sister''s history "And while he did lock me up false stole something from him, and Shanley sank is ship... So, I''d say we''re even."


    More importantly, her new brother-inw knew how to y the game and had given


    her a wee gift.


    "Well, what a coincidence." Jimmie


    pinched the bridge of his nose. He had been about to let Warren have it. Locked in a dark room? She probably walked in there herself!


    And he had seen Warren hand her


    that card which he walked in the


    Hittle rascal had been bought off by her new brother-inw.
