Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 649

And she was about to take down that old villain, the head of the Sigma Network. It was one troublemaker against another.

...

The next morning, Juniper finished getting ready and went out to the living room.

“Good morning, Ms. Payne,” Dana greeted her with a cheerful smile as she arranged breakfast on the table. “Mr. Schwartz had an urgent matter at the office and left a little while ago. He asked me to have a car take you to the competition venue after you eat.”

Today was the WKL eSports final. After breakfast, however, Juniper decided against the car and zipped off on her scooter instead.

Twenty minutes later, she arrived at the venue.

Learning from last time, Shanley had arranged for proper invitation cards for her and her classmates. By the time she got there, most of the computer science students had already gone inside.

After parking her scooter and getting her ticket scanned, Juniper was walking in when she noticed two furtive figures in the VIP section. A man and a woman, both wearing hats, masks, and sunglasses.

The woman on the left kept adjusting her glasses, her eyes wide as she cautiously scanned the crowd. “Honey, do you think anyone will recognize me like this?”

Hayden had never appeared in public, so no one knew who he was. But she was a different story. As a snack food connoisseur, her face was associated with everything from spicy instant ramen to beef jerky. Her face and voice were practically famous; she could be spotted in an instant.

“No, no,” Hayden chuckled, looking at his wife, who was bundled up so much only her eyes were visible. “I guarantee no one can tell it’s you.”

“Good.” Miranda patted her chest, about to breathe a sigh of relief when a familiar female voice called out from behind her. “Miranda?”

Miranda froze, the smile plastered on her face. Busted! She’d been recognized. If Shanley found out she’d snuck back to watch a video game tournament, he’d lecture her for days.

Miranda turned around slowly, her expression shifting to surprise when she saw who it was. “Oh, it’s you, Juniper!”
