Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 294

The moment the video call connected, Juliana was greeted by a strikingly handsome face.

Her eyes widened in surprise, and she was about to get a closer look when her phone was suddenly snatched away. Turning around, she saw Cordelia swiftly grabbing the phone from behind and handing it over to Merry.

Merry shot Juliana a wary glance.

Juliana was stunned, feeling a sense of déjà vu. That quick glimpse... it felt eerily familiar. Could it be... Bland?

Impossible. How could it be Bland?

She must have been seeing things.

Looking back at Merry, if Merry and Bland were that close, Bland could easily usher her into the glamorous world of Hollywood. Why bother with the grueling auditions for the Ontoky City Film and Animation Academy?

So, she must have been mistaken.

Merry was already glaring at her. "Juliana, didn't your folks teach you not to mess with other people's stuff? What's with your low-class behavior?"

Low-class?

That set Juliana off. "Oh, and you're high-class? Obsessing over a celeb who's already taken. I don't know whether to call you shameless or just delusional!"

Merry, never one to lose a verbal spar, scoffed. Juliana's words were like water off a duck's back. "What about you? Sorted things out with your fiancé yet? Weren't you two at each other's throats just yesterday?"

That hit a nerve with Juliana, leaving her fuming and breathless with indignation.

Ever since Hayley transferred, Juliana felt isolated, her grievances and bitterness finding no outlet, making her lash out without a care for appearances.

At that moment, Merry's words made her glance at Hanley in the front row.

He seemed oblivious to the drama unfolding behind him, engrossed in his work, which only fueled her anger further.

Just yesterday, Hanley had snapped at her, suggesting they call off the engagement if she was so bothered by it. Men are all the same, heartless.

Taking a deep breath, Juliana tried to collect herself and focused on distributing the examination papers instead.
