Juniper’s heart skipped a beat, a tingling warmth spreading through her. After a few seconds of silence, she raised an eyebrow, her smile a little stiff. “Do you have any idea what losing this competition means?”

“Sigma Network’s reputation takes a nosedive,” Shanley replied, a faint, unconcerned smile on his handsome face. “But what does that matter? Sooner or later, everyone has to learn that everything I have is yours anyway.”

He figured Juniper would make an honest man out of him eventually, so he could handle a little public scorn for now.

“Tsk.” Juniper stared at him for a long moment before snapping her laptop shut and moving to get up.

“Where are you going? Ngh—” Shanley instinctively reached out to grab her, but the movement was too abrupt, pulling at his wound and drawing a pained grunt from him.

“Still playing the victim?” Juniper let him hold her arm, looking down at him with an amused smirk.

“No,” Shanley said, one hand clutching her and the other pressed against his chest, his face pale with pain. “This time, it really hurts.”

“Serves you right,” Juniper huffed, but she still knelt to check his injury. Lifting the blood-soaked gauze, she revealed a mangled, gaping wound.

“Don’t you ever do something this stupid again,” Juniper murmured, gently dabbing the area with antiseptic.

They had been enemies, caught in a surprise confrontation. In the ensuing clash, both had been aiming to kill. But at that moment, Juniper had seemed unwell. He’d seized the opportunity, and the bullet had struck her in the head. He’d heard the rumors… Specter was gravely injured, bedridden for three months, and nearly didn’t make it back.

“Could have,” Juniper said, her gaze flickering for a second before she gave a careless shrug. “I should really thank the leader of Sigma Network for showing mercy.”
