Chapter 457

Juniper was clearly not the beloved daughter of the Stone family. When she first entered the Jefferson household, she was far more timid than Grace. She felt like a startled bird, while Grace was a bold newcomer, unafraid of anything. One was cautious about causing trouble, while the other had never known fear. Later, Justine approached Juniper and asked, "What is your true identity? Don't lie to me; I know you're not the Stone family's eldest daughter." Concerned about her reputation, Juniper initially wanted to hide the truth. But as she looked around at the Jefferson family, she finally admitted her less-than-glamorous status. "I'm... an illegitimate child." When the Jefferson family learned about Juniper's past, they felt sympathy for her and no disdain. Jason no longer felt anger toward his wife; instead, he treated her with newfound tenderness. He had never wanted to marry a woman from a wealthy family. To Jason, Juniper was his wife now, and that was all that mattered.
