Chapter 9
Meanwhile, Ronan, who was on his way to Juniper’s place, suddenly felt a strange tightness in his chest.
He instinctively glanced back at the mansion.
But by now, he was already very, very far from it.
Thinking of Cora, still inside the mansion, Ronan felt a sense of relief.
Cora hadn’t left, which meant she still didn’t know the whole truth.
As long as she dropped the lawsuit tomorrow and recorded the clarification video, everything would go back to the way it was.
He would still treat her as well as he always had.
As for Cora’s mother and brother, he would let them live.
He had done more than enough for Juniper, it was enough to repay the life-saving debt from all those years ago.
After tomorrow, it was time for him to start living for himself.
Ronan kept repeating this to himself, trying to brainwash himself.
He used countless reasons to convince himself that Cora hadn’t discovered the truth.
Under this constant self-deception, Ronan almost truly believed everything would go according to his plan.
But the unease he had suppressed in his heart only grew stronger.
Before he could dwell on that feeling, he had already arrived at Juniper’s place.
As soon as he reached the door, Juniper eagerly came out to greet him.
“Ronan, how did it go? Did that bitch agree to drop the lawsuit p>
“My graduation is in two days. If we don’t resolve this soon, I’m worried it will affect my academic record p>
Juniper said, pouting her lips.
Ronan looked at Juniper, and for some reason, Cora’s face suddenly appeared in his mind.
Her face, pale and bloodless, after Juniper had pushed her down the stairs.
That child had once been part of his future plans.
But now, because of Juniper, all of that was gone.
As if possessed, he said to Juniper, “If you thought this would affect your graduate studies, why did you do it? If you hadn’t pushed Cora, none of this would have happened p>
As he spoke, his expression darkened.
Seeing the look on Ronan’s face, Juniper instantly looked incredibly wronged.

“Ronan, what’s gotten into you? I already told you, it wasn’t on purpose! I was just blinded by jealousy at the time. I just didn’t want Cora to have your baby. I never thought it would turn out like this. If you think it’s all my fault, then just leave. Go back and comfort Cora p>
“I can handle it on my own. The worst that can happen is I get arrested. I don’t care p>
Juniper said, pushing Ronan away.
She had used this trick many times before. Whenever she acted this way, Ronan would agree to anything she wanted in the next moment.
But this time, she had miscalculated.
This time, Ronan didn’t comfort her as she had imagined.
Instead, he went along with her push and stepped back.
“I still need to prepare for tomorrow. Since you didn’t call me over for anything important, I’ll be going now p>
After saying this, Ronan turned without hesitation, got in his car, and left Juniper standing there, utterly dumbfounded.
Juniper stood frozen, watching Ronan’s figure retreat without a second thought.
It was only in this moment that she understood: that trick no longer worked on Ronan.
Not only that, but it was very likely Ronan still had feelings for Cora.
The reason he was helping her was probably because of that time she saved his life.
But it was clear that the “life-saving favor” from back then was quickly losing its effectiveness.
Ronan cared about Cora, and may have even fallen in love with her.
Upon realizing this, rage nearly consumed Juniper entirely.
Her once-delicate face twisted in an instant.
Ronan could only belong to her. No one could take him away from her!
Watching Ronan get further and further away, Juniper uncontrollably dug her nails into her palm until it bled.
