Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 739

Just as Robert was about to bring up the leader of the Sigma Network, Juniper suddenly stood up. “I’m done eating. I’m going to get some sleep. We can talk about whatever it is when I wake up.”

“You should definitely get some rest,” Luella chimed in quickly, frowning. “You haven’t slept in dozens of hours.”

“Robert, let the kid rest first,” Michael intervened, stopping him. He added softly, “She looks terrible.”

“Is it something important?” Juniper asked, noticing their strange expressions.

“It’s nothing,” Catherine soothed. “It can wait until tomorrow.”

After all, the leader of the Sigma Network was here at Subterra Vanguard. He couldn’t fly away even if he grew wings.

“Oh.” Juniper didn’t think much of it and headed toward her dorm.

With Juniper gone, the five masters turned their piercing gazes on Luella. She was so scared she could barely hold her fork and knife, and she looked for an escape. “I-I’m going to rest, too.”

But her escape attempt failed.

“Tell us about Specter’s situation in Eclara City,” Michael said first. “She seems to have been doing pretty well these past few months.”

“Y-yes, she’s been great,” Luella stammered, flustered as she sat pinned by ten pairs of eyes.

“How does her brothers and sister treat her?” Robert threw out the question. They had only done a superficial background check, not daring to dig any deeper.

“They’re great,” Luella answered honestly. “Her family treats Juniper very well.”

“Specter…” Catherine paused for a few seconds before asking out of the blue, “She’s in a relationship, isn’t she? She has a boyfriend?”

“How did you know?” Luella’s head snapped up, her shock evident in her question.
