Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1212

At the Schwartz family estate.

Shanley and Juniper walked into the grand foyer, expecting to be greeted by his grandparents and parents.

"Where are my parents and grandparents?" Shanley asked as he guided Juniper to a sofa. He had called ahead. Normally, they would all be waiting at the door. This was unusual.

"They're looking for something. They specifically told us not to go upstairs to clean," a maid answered carefully.

What could possibly be more important than welcoming their future granddaughter-in-law?

"Let's go take a look." Shanley took Juniper's hand and led her upstairs.

As they approached his grandparents' suite, they heard an argument.

"Kent, what do you think of this one?" his grandmother asked.

"It's perfect," Kent Schwartz agreed.

"Perfect? What are you talking about?" she snapped, mercilessly critiquing him. "You men have zero taste. This bracelet is an antique, but it looks too dated. It definitely won't suit my granddaughter-in-law."

Kent stood by the door, his arms full of jewelry boxes, wearing the weary smile of a man who knew he couldn't win.

"What about this?" His grandmother held up a diamond necklace so brilliant it was almost blinding.

"Well..." Having been scolded enough times to know better, Kent answered cautiously. "Maybe that one's a bit too much?"

"I told you that you were blind!" she huffed, doubling down on her critique. "A stunning diamond like this deserves to be on my beautiful granddaughter-in-law's neck."
