Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 52

“Yes, Boss.” Felton nodded and turned to leave, but Shanley’s voice stopped him. “Wait.”

Felton paused, looking back at him in confusion.

Shanley pulled out his phone and opened his chat with Juniper on WhatsApp.

[Juniper, do you need my help looking into this online mess?]

Their relationship wasn’t that close yet, and he worried that interfering without her permission might upset her.

Juniper’s reply came almost instantly: [No need, I'll handle it myself.]

Even through the screen, he could almost feel her confident aura.

Shanley: [If you need anything at all, just ask.]

Juniper glanced at his message. She was about to type “Thanks” but remembered him telling her not to be so formal. Instead, she just sent back, “Okay.”

Seeing that one word, a slight, unconscious smile touched the corners of his lips. So obedient.

“Never mind the investigation,” Shanley said, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. He stared into the distance, a chill surrounding him.

The girl said she could handle it, so he would let her. She wasn’t the type to let herself be pushed around.

...

After replying to Shanley, Juniper opened Twitter and created a new account. Username: Lunar.

Once the account was active, she posted her first tweet—just three short sentences.

1. I am Lunar.

2. The gown Queenie wore was a gift from me.

3. Slanderers will be held accountable.
