Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 727

“And another thing—” The man didn't even give Juniper a chance to speak, his voice rising in pitch. “You brought back a whole ship full of Sigma Network’s high-value cargo!”

“But the main point is,” he continued, each word dripping with disbelief as if recounting some bizarre fantasy, “our guys apparently missed something when they were towing the ship, and Sigma Network’s people personally delivered it to us. Sigma Network’s people! Personally! Delivered it! Did I ever think I’d see something like that in my lifetime?”

“Specter, what in the world happened out there? Did you develop a new drug and use it on their leader or something?”

It was the only explanation they could come up with for such a drastic change in his behavior.

“He…” Juniper’s lips moved, but she didn’t know how to explain. The base didn't know she was in a relationship, let alone that her boyfriend was the leader of Sigma Network—Subterra Vanguard’s number one enemy. If they found out, the others would probably rush over and tear him apart.

“He what?” Before the man could press further, someone else snatched the phone. “Juniper, are you hurt? How dare that old bastard from Sigma Network send you to Liberty Island?”

Hurt? Juniper undid the top button of her collar and glanced in the mirror. The angry red marks on her neck were starkly visible. Damn that Shanley. He was so strong; he’d almost choked her to death!

“Luella is safe, and so am I. The matter is resolved,” Juniper said, her gaze drifting out the window. “In any case, from now on, Subterra Vanguard doesn’t need to fear Sigma Network.”

“Why not?” the men from Subterra Vanguard asked, their curiosity piqued even more.

Unable to find a plausible explanation, Juniper blurted out the most ridiculous reason she could think of. “I beat him into submission. That’s right, I put him in his place.”

The men on the other end were utterly bewildered. Had Specter lost her mind?

“I have another call coming in, I have to go,” Juniper said, hanging up on them and immediately answering the new call.

“A chemical leak at the lab?” Her expression changed instantly. “Head to Australis Base 1,” she ordered Luella.
