Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1925

The crushed diamonds embedded in the shoes sparkled brilliantly under the lights.

But the shoes were clearly placed there by Juniper. If she didn't willingly hand them over, he didn't have the guts to demand them from her.

"What is it?"

Juniper sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. Her gaze swept past the wedding shoes, her expression entirely unbothered.

Kurt looked at her, swallowed hard, his eyes filled with sheer panic.

"Looking for the wedding shoes?"

Juniper's eyes curved slightly, her voice cool and clear. "Keep looking. You think I'd just leave them right next to me?"

"!!!"

But they are literally right next to you!

And in this room, absolutely no one could boss her around.

He had nowhere to turn for help.

Kurt twitched his lips, forcing a smile that looked uglier than if he were crying. "Alright, then I'll keep looking."

He had clearly understood the hidden meaning in Juniper's words.

She wasn't going to give him the shoes just yet.

Which meant he needed to perform a little more to earn them.

The onlookers watched the scene unfold, barely able to contain their laughter.

He knew exactly where the shoes were, yet Kurt had to pretend he had no idea.

He led his guys tearing the room apart, looking like complete fools.

Well played.

This level of psychological warfare was just too high-end.

A few minutes later.

Having run out of options, Kurt dragged himself back over to Juniper and pleaded miserably, "Juniper, could you maybe help me look?"

"Oh?"

Juniper raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on her lips. "You want me to help you look? Sure, but what's in it for me?"

"What's in it for you?"

Kurt looked ready to drop to his knees for this little tyrant. His smile was still strained. "Just name your price, anything you want. It's just..."

"All my assets are under Ebony Fox's name. If you want anything, I might need her to sign off on it."

Kurt answered with absolute sincerity, "Can I discuss this with my wife first?"

"Pfft—"
