Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1046

"Juniper?" Seeing the person standing at the door, Barnaby's face instantly dropped. He spoke with obvious displeasure, "What are you doing back here?"

As he spoke, he actively craned his neck to look past her into the hallway. Could it be? Did Juniper overhear Michelle's conversation and realize Miss Seven was about to take Sheryl as a student? Was she trying to stick around, hoping to meet Miss Seven and steal the opportunity?

"Juniper, I know you have the Schwartz Group backing you, but don't push your luck." Without even giving Juniper a chance to speak, Barnaby fired off, "Miss Seven is a highly secretive figure. Not just anyone has the right or the qualifications to become her student. I highly suggest you drop this delusional idea right now."

"You—" Before Barnaby could finish, Juniper simply walked right past him, treating him as if he were entirely invisible.

"You want to be Miss Seven's student too?" Michelle stared at her suspiciously, her tone hostile. "With me here, she will never agree." Even though they hadn't spoken in years, she was confident that she still held some weight with Miss Seven.

"Not necessarily." Juniper walked straight to the sofa, sat down, and crossed her legs.

Hattie cautiously tiptoed in behind her. Facing the fierce glares of six sets of eyes, she definitely didn't have the mental fortitude to just sit down casually. She decided to stand. She specifically positioned herself right behind Juniper. If a fight broke out, Juniper had great moves and could definitely protect her. Hehe.

"Juniper, why did you come back?" Seeing her return, Lionel's nerves instantly tightened again. He jumped out of his chair, forcing a smile. "Is there something else?"

"Yeah," Juniper nodded slightly, actually being quite polite. "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Landon."

"No bother at all," Lionel forced a laugh, his face practically freezing in place. He asked gently, "Could it be that you also want to meet the tennis legend, Miss Seven?"

"Yeah." Juniper answered bluntly, offering no further explanation.
