At Shanley''s words, the entire crowd froze on the spot.


    Now that he mentioned it, the man''s silhouette in the picture looked exactly like Mr. Schwartz.


    Juniper''s eldest brother was a famous actor, her second brother was a top-tier doctor, and her third was a race car driver. And most importantly, her boyfriend was the one and only Shanley Schwartz, the most powerful man in Era City.


    So, the whole three-timing scandal was just her two brothers... and her boyfriend? Ynda stood rooted to the spot, staring at the paternity reports, utterly speechless. "Are there any other questions?" Shanley asked, his gaze sweeping over them casually. "If not, I''m going to take my girlfriend and leave."


    Everyone shook their heads in unison. This was the king of Era City. Did they have a death wish? No one dared to question him.


    Still, to have such an powerful boyfriend and keep itpletely under wraps... She was incredibly low-key.


    "Especially you." Shanley''s sharp gaze fell on Ynda''s pale face. "You seem to be quite concerned about my girlfriend."


    Ynda stood frozen, meeting Shanley''s icy stare, not daring to utter a single word in her defense.


    "If you can''t control that mouth of yours, I don''t mind controlling it for you."


    With that tant threat hanging in the air, Shanley coldly turned away. This was Shanley Schwartz-getting rid of someone would be trivially easy for him.


    Ynda''s legs went soft, her heart pounding with fear, and she could barely stand. She didn''t dare make another peep. Neither did anyone else. Everyone mped their mouths shut, pretending to be mute.


    "Oh, by the way—"


    Just before leaving, Shanley turned back onest time, his indifferent gaze sweeping across the crowd. "Juniper isn''t just my girlfriend," he stated coolly. "She''s my fiancée. We''ve met each other''s parents. We will be getting married."


    *BOOM.*


    That sentence was another bombshell that exploded in everyone''s minds.


    Not just his girlfriend, but his fiancée? They''d even met the parents. So it was only a matter of time before Juniper became the future Mrs. Schwartz, the matriarch of the Schwartz Group.


    Good heavens. Was this girl God''s favorite child? How did all the good things in the world happen to her?


    "Hmph, our Juniper is no slouch either," Hattie couldn''t help but retort. "Whoever marries Juniper is the lucky one."


    In the car, Shanley sat in the driver''s seat, an irrepressible grin spreading across his face.


    "You''re insane," Juniper said, ncing at him nonchntly. "If you keep smiling like that, I swear I''ll kick you out."


    Fiancée? When had she ever agreed to that? The nerve of this man, asking for forgiveness instead of permission.


    "Fine, I''ll stop smiling," Shanley said, his lips still twitching as heposed himself. "We found the person behind the rumors."


    "Ynda?" Juniper asked with a cold smile, leaning back in the passenger seat and swinging her legs.


    "Yes."


    "Stay out of it. I''ll handle this," Juniper said, her gaze fixed on the passing scenery outside the window.


    Did that idiot really think she could get away with it just by trying to cover her tracks? What a fool. A world-ss fool.


    "Alright."


    Shanley didn''t press, focusing on the road.


    Partway through the drive, he deliberately turned on the radio,


    letting Juniper hear the break


    news on all the major entertainment channels. It was all about them.

    Several media outlets that had been particrly harsh in their reporting, upon realizing Juniper was the future Mrs. Schwartz, were now


    scrambling to delete their of


    articles and publish new ones


    clearing her name.


    Juniper opened her phone and found the entire inte flooded with news about the


    two of them. She almost thought her phone had a virus.


    "Was this your doing?" Juniper asked, turning to him curiously.


    How long had it been since the


    incident? The web was already filled with high-definition photos and videos. The only
