Chapter 333
Juniper was lying on the bed, her eyes staring skyward at the sun that was hanging high in the sky. She had stayed up the entire night. Her eyes were red, looking like a demon that had crawled out of hell.
Benji had taken her phone away. There was nothing inside the room. Even though she was very familiar with the Duvals’ residence, she could not go anywhere other than her own room nor could she do anything.
“Rickard, Hesper…” Juniper clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails stabbed into her palm. However, she paid the pain no mind and muttered, “How dare you… This has nothing to do with me
How dare you lock me up in here…”
Suddenly, a series of footfalls erupted from outside. After a while, the door was opened and
someone came in.
“You can leave now.”
It was not Benji.
Juniper was filled with so much hatred that it was driving her to the verge of insanity. Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger as she snarled, “I can leave now? Do you know who I am? Am I a dog at Rickard’s beck and call? How dare he lock me up?”
The person did not know what Juniper did either. He just needed to carry out the order given to him by his superior.
After he returned Juniper’s phone to her, he said, “Do you need me to take you home?”
“F*ck off!”
The man took a step back to make way for Juniper. She took a few deep breaths. When she lifted her head up, she saw Sophia walking toward her with a bucket of ice cream in her arms.
“Sophia?” Juniper went toward Sophia and grabbed her arm. “What are you doing here?”
Sophia was startled when she saw Juniper. Looking at Juniper’s bloodshot eyes, she shrank back in fear. “You scared me, Juni. This is my home, so of course I’d be here.”
“If you’re here, why didn’t you ask them to let me out?” Juniper hissed, raising her voice one whole octave while tightening her grip on Sophia’s arm.
Sophia winced out in pain as she hastily pulled her arm out of Juniper’s grip. “What are you doing? How would I know why my brother locked you up? What’s the use of being angry with me? My brother is still my brother, so of course I have to listen to him!”
Upon hearing what Sophia said, Juniper raised up her hand in an attempt to give Sophia a slap across her face. Meanwhile, Julie heard the commotion and came over. When she saw that Juniper was going to slap Sophia, she quickly went forward and shoved Juniper away.
“It’s you?!”
Juniper had been disgruntled about being locked up in a room without any reason, so she had not
eaten anything and had not slept the whole night. When Julle shoved her into the wall, she could feel a pang of pain shoot through her entire body as if an invisible sledgehammer was crushing her bones.
