Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 117

At that moment, a silver, priceless sports car was cruising smoothly down the road.

Inside, Shanley was slouched casually against his seat, his intense eyes fixed on his phone screen. The enclosed space of the car felt several degrees below freezing, chilled by the cold aura radiating from him.

Felton and Flint sat in silence, not daring to make a sound. Their boss had sent several messages to Ms. Payne, and she hadn't replied to a single one. Unable to direct his frustration at her, he was stewing in his own anger. They were starting to wonder if Ms. Payne now thought he was… impotent, and was ghosting him as a result.

“Ring… Ring… Ring…”

Just as the two felt they were about to suffocate, a sharp ringtone broke the long silence.

Jimmie? Seeing the name, Shanley's tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly as he answered the call.

"I found my sister," Jimmie announced from his sofa, fiddling with the pile of pistachio shells Juniper had left behind. A broad smile stretched across his handsome face.

"Congratulations," Shanley said sincerely, pinching the bridge of his nose.

He had been in the middle of sorting through clues about his sister the day before when Hannah had suddenly called him home for something urgent. He figured they would find her eventually, so he hadn't pressed for details. He was surprised it had happened so quickly.

"She's a sweet young girl," Jimmie continued, his voice full of laughter. "Beautiful, well-behaved, incredibly smart, and talented."

"In the entire entertainment industry, no one can compare to my sister in terms of looks or talent."

"And of course, she's definitely prettier than your little girl!"

He clearly remembered how Shanley had defended his own girl while 'belittling' his sister last time.

"Is that so?" Shanley chuckled, an image of Juniper's defiant face involuntarily popping into his mind, which only widened his smile.
