Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 421

"Well? Say something." Seeing both men staring at her blankly, Juniper raised an eyebrow. "If you don't like it—"

"I'll take it! I'll take it!" Kurt hobbled to his feet, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to Juniper. "Thank you! You're the best!"

An Ecosse Spirit ES1 wasn't even in the same league as the bike he wanted. It was something he didn't even dare to dream about, and his cousin-in-law was just giving it to him.

"Alright." Juniper took out her phone and sent a message to Luella Langley. "Someone will deliver it to the main house in a week."

"Okay!" Kurt couldn't stop grinning, his eyes practically glued to Juniper.

"That's enough," Shanley said, stepping in front of Kurt to block his view and turning his gentle gaze to Juniper. "We should head back so you can rest. You have school tomorrow."

"Okay," Juniper nodded. Before leaving, she reminded Kurt to focus on his recovery.

...

In the car, Shanley kept stealing glances at the young woman beside him. He had so many questions but didn't know where to start, afraid of overstepping.

"What do you want to ask?" Juniper said without looking up from the game she was playing on her phone. "Curious about why I have so much money?"

"Yes," Shanley admitted with a helpless smile, leaning closer. "I am very curious. Are you willing to tell me?"

"Tsk." Juniper's fingers flew across the screen as she answered nonchalantly, "I made some money in business, then tried my hand at the stock market, and it just kept growing. The more money I made, the more I invested. It sort of spiraled out of control from there."

"The stock market?" Shanley was surprised, trying to recall all of her known identities. There were so many he couldn't even remember them all at once.

"An enemy?" Shanley's gaze turned cold.

Juniper had an enemy? She never started trouble, so someone must have wronged her. Whoever it was deserved to die!

"Not right now," Juniper said, giving him a reassuring look. "I can handle him for the time being. But before I eliminate him completely, I have a little plan."

For example, Sigma Network was always trying to swallow up Subterra Vanguard in Australis. It was time to give them a taste of their own medicine. She had similar ambitions. Borealia was a nice place—beautiful, peaceful, and economically prosperous.

And… Juniper’s eyes rested on Shanley's face, her lips curving into an almost imperceptible smile. The people weren't bad either. So, she was even more determined to destroy that old bastard and bring Borealia under her control.

"Is he a threat to you?" Shanley asked, his body tense with worry. "Could you get hurt?"
