Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1365

As the auctioneer, she had hosted the event with extraordinary beauty and undeniable talent.

Wearing a bespoke red silk dress, she had commanded the room's attention effortlessly.

Later, he ended up doing business with her older brother. Over the years, through countless interactions, they had gradually become acquainted.

And then.

Her family created an opportunity for an alliance, and the Houston family agreed to the marriage.

When he unexpectedly heard that she already had someone she loved, he thought long and hard about it and initially objected.

But through a twist of fate, they ended up married anyway.

After the wedding.

They treated each other with polite, distant respect, having agreed to divorce after three years.

Now, the deadline was fast approaching.

Lorelei was rushing him.

"Then buy her some fine stationery and art supplies," Shanley replied. "But pursuing a woman takes time and serious effort."

"When you get the chance, you should let us meet her."

"Yeah."

Harold gave a muffled response.

After Shanley left.

Harold leaned back heavily against the sofa, pulling out his phone to open Lorelei's message thread.

Their last interaction had been over a month ago.

The final message read: *If everything looks fine, just sign it.*

Heh.

There were still two months left until their agreed-upon date, and she couldn't even wait.

He had heard that the boy she loved was dead.

A dead first love had far too much staying power.

He was going to have to work incredibly hard.

—

Three days later.

News finally came from Cybernetic Shadows.

They had located Dr. Moira Saxon.

Theia called her immediately, hoping to ask her to step forward and publicly dispel the rumors.

The scandal condemning Juniper's family as "monsters" only grew more vicious by the hour.

Someone had even leaked photos and videos of Theia and Silas working at the Albia Genetics and Biology Research Institute.

Netizens screamed that they were scum and demanded they be thrown in prison.

Jimmie's personal social media accounts were completely overrun.

Haters and bot armies flooded his pages, demanding the superstar quit the entertainment industry entirely.

People even bombarded Eclara University's official accounts, demanding they expel Juniper immediately.

Some even tried to drag the Schwartz Group into the mud.

But lacking the real courage to target them openly, they only dared to whisper their criticisms behind closed doors.

The entire internet was a toxic wasteland.

"It's completely out of control! Are we really not going to do anything?" Melvin practically tore his hair out in frustration. "Shanley, just crash the servers!"

Shanley looked over at Juniper, waiting for her call.

"Let them scream. Let the rumors spread."

Juniper sat comfortably on the sofa, casually clipping her nails. "The gene extraction will be finished in two days."

"Since we're going to prove them wrong, we might as well serve them the biggest reality check all at once."
