During dinner, Miranda’s phone suddenly rang.
“Miranda, is that you in the photos online?” a staff member asked cautiously. “I’ve sent them to you. Netizens are saying the man with you is your husband.”
Miranda frowned slightly upon seeing a paparazzi photo of her and Hayden Schwartz at an esports tournament.
“They’re also saying the girl next to you is your daughter,” the staffer continued.
“Pfft—” Miranda couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Juniper in the picture with them. “There is a strong resemblance, isn’t there?”
If only Juniper really were her daughter.
“How should we handle this?” the staff member asked, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. “I’m afraid your relationship with Mr. Schwartz is about to be exposed.”
“I’ll take care of it,” Miranda said slowly, glancing at the man beside her who was peeling shrimp for her. It was time to make their relationship official.

After dinner, Hannah and Miranda showered Juniper with more gifts, from fine jewelry to decadent desserts.
Before they left, Miranda pulled Shanley aside, her expression turning serious. “You’re injured?”
“Hm?” Shanley paused, momentarily stunned. How did she find out when he had hidden it so well?
“Don’t pretend,” Miranda snorted, lowering her voice. “To let someone hurt you like that… you must have done it willingly, right?”
Shanley remained silent, feeling a pang of embarrassment.
“Serves you right,” Miranda said, her tone firm as she glanced at the young woman standing a short distance away.
