The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 42

Juno replied, "Community college."

It made sense that it was an arrangement by the Corrington family.

He vaguely remembered that Juno had already earned her Ph.D. by the time she was eighteen. Going to a community college was a complete waste of her time.

Juno glanced at Miles. "Take good care of your boss."

Miles bowed his head. "Understood."

"What time are you coming tomorrow?" Chuck sat up straight, his gaze fixed intensely on Juno.

Juno thought about it for a second. "Not sure."

...

When night fell, Juno returned to campus.

Little did she know, Wyatt was waiting for her at the main gate.

Seeing her return, he closed the distance in a few quick strides. "Juno!"

Wyatt was thrilled; even in the pitch-black night, his eyes shone brightly.

The Taekwondo Club had been saved.

"Thank you so much."

Juno kept her long strides toward the dorms. "You're welcome."

"Are you sure you won't consider joining the Taekwondo Club?"

"Yeah."

"Alright."

Even though Juno's answer was exactly what he expected, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Wyatt stood there for a while after walking her to her dorm building before finally leaving.

As soon as he got back to his room, his roommates interrogated him.

"Wyatt, tell us the truth. Do you have a thing for Juno?"

"Juno's got a great figure and she's really pretty. If you want to go for it, do it."

Wyatt's expression softened briefly before he smiled faintly. "Stop joking around. She'd never go for a guy like me."

One of the guys intentionally prodded, "Is that so? Guess I'll shoot my shot then."

"No!"

The word burst out of him before he could think.

As the final syllable hung in the air, the entire dorm looked at him with knowing, teasing grins.

Wyatt pursed his lips. After thinking about it all night, he decided he was going to pursue her.

The next day in class, wherever Juno went, Wyatt followed like a shadow.

During lectures, he sat right next to her.

They were built like brick walls—bodyguards.

"Ahem."

A woman coughed from behind them, and the two guards immediately stepped aside.

The woman carried an air of absolute superiority. She took off her sunglasses, scrutinized Juno carefully, and asked in a leisurely tone, "Are you Jumer?"

Since it was noon, the cafeteria was packed. The sudden appearance of two highly trained bodyguards blocking the entrance was a spectacle.

It was something the students had never seen before, and many immediately pulled out their phones to record.

Some murmured quietly, "Ever since Juno got here, she's been so full of herself. She's offended a lot of people. Is this someone coming for revenge?"

"I've been sick of her for a while now. Looks like karma is finally catching up to her."

Juno looked at the woman like she was looking at an idiot.

She had no intention of wasting time here.

She sidestepped, trying to leave.

The woman grabbed Juno's right arm. "Hey! I'm talking to you. Aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

Juno glanced sideways, a sharp warning in her eyes. In one clean motion, her left hand clamped down on the woman's grip, twisting it back violently. The woman shrieked in pain, "Ah!"

"If you're going to speak to me, you'd better fix your attitude."

Juno's eyes were filled with chilling apathy; a single glance from her carried an overwhelming, suffocating pressure.
