Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1461

“What's wrong?”

Shanley had been taking a nap. Woken up by the commotion, he didn't get angry, but rather gently comforted the furious girl beside him.

“It's Harold.” Juniper pouted, growing angrier by the second. “I bumped into his wife at the hospital this morning, and he wouldn't even let me see her!”

Ever since she got back, she had been pacing around in sheer frustration. “Is Harold lying to me?”

He claimed it was his wife, but what if it was some secret lover?

“So, what do you want to do about it?” Shanley sat up, staring at her with complete adoration.

“We're going to find out!”

Juniper threw off the covers and got out of bed. As she pulled her clothes on, she ordered Shanley, “You're coming with me. I need you for cover.”

Cover?

Why was she acting like some undercover spy?

“Is that really a good idea?” Shanley asked softly, the corners of his lips curling up.

Juniper didn't answer, merely shooting him a cold glare over her shoulder.

“I'm in.”

Knowing he was completely at her mercy, Shanley immediately got up to change.

Fully geared up, the two drove toward Harold Houston's residence.

Meanwhile.

Harold and Lorelei Bellamy had just finished eating and were out getting some fresh air in the courtyard.

Lorelei had injured her foot, so soaking up some sun was good for her vitamin D levels.

Also, staring at each other inside the apartment had been incredibly awkward.

Not too far away.

Two sneaky figures appeared beneath the dense shade of a large tree.

“I can't see their faces.” Juniper, sporting a hat and sunglasses, stood on her tiptoes. She muttered in confusion, “Seriously, do they even look like a married couple?”

They had been spying for five minutes. The two were sitting side by side without exchanging a single word.

“It is a bit strange.” Shanley was carrying Juniper's backpack. It was bulging, stuffed with all sorts of random things.

Aside from snacks and jewelry, it also contained a very heavy hammer.

The little lady had made it clear. If Dr. Houston dared to step out of line, she was going to smash his head in with that hammer.
