The car went quiet. Shanley and the three brothers all shut their mouths. They knew she was right. Being known as "the renowned actor's sister" was already enough of a headache. Adding "fiancée of the Schwartz Group's heir" to the mix would mean she'd never have a moment's peace for the next four years.
As for Harold and Melvin, their relationship with her hadn't been made public yet, and their presence would only stir up unnecessary trouble.
They had the right to escort her, but not the courage. Helplessly, they could only watch as the young lady walked away.
As soon as Juniper stepped through the campus gates, she became the center of attention.
"Is that her? The perfect-score scholar, Juniper?" a group of girls nearby started whispering. "Oh my god, how can she look like that in person? She is even more beautiful than she appears online. More importantly, she isn't wearing any makeup. A natural beauty! The campus queen title is definitely going to change hands this year."
"A perfect score, gorgeous, and her brother is the nation's heartthrob, Jimmie Tate..." a new student sighed. "What window did God possibly close for her?"
"I wish I could get an autographed picture of Mr. Tate from her," another girl said before hesitating. "Never mind, she looks so intimidating. I'm too scared."
"Hey, freshman!"
Suddenly, several male students came running toward her from all directions.
"You're Juniper Payne, right?" The boy in the lead enthusiastically started listing facts about Eclara University. "We've been waiting for you! The dorms are this way."
"How about an iced milkshake?" another boy sidled up to her right, his face plastered with a grin as he stared at her. "Don't worry, it's half-sugar. You won't gain any weight."
"Just relax and let me handle your registration."
"I'll do it!"
"No, me!"
"Let me!"
