Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1570

“I'm sorry.”

Janet struggled to pull her lips into a smile, her voice wavering as she spoke. “I'm sorry for dragging you into this ridiculous mess.”

“Did you hurt your back?”

Seeing her hunched over, Melvin's brows pulled into a harsh frown.

Janet shook her head, fighting back her tears.

When you're entirely surrounded by accusations, a sudden trace of gentleness can truly shatter your defenses.

“Sit down for a minute. Once I handle this, I'm taking you to the hospital.”

“Mr. Steele...”

“Listen to me.” Melvin's tone grew firmer. “With so many people watching, this is the perfect time to clear things up face to face.”

Janet had no choice but to sit down, staring at Melvin with red-rimmed eyes.

The situation had spiraled completely out of control, and Kian wasn't even here.

Without someone to confront, who would believe their side of the story?

After making sure Janet was seated.

Melvin turned his gaze to the woman standing nearby, speaking in a slow, measured cadence. “Your boyfriend is a Law student?”

“That's right.”

Believing herself to be the victim, the woman spoke with absolute confidence. “If he wasn't in the Law School, Janet wouldn't have been able to hook him.”

“Alright.”

Melvin's lips curled up, but the smile never reached his eyes. It was actually quite terrifying. “Go back and have him look up the maximum sentence for assault and battery.”

“What assault and battery?”

“Your shoving just now resulted in Ms. Wilcox getting injured.”

Melvin took a step forward, towering over her as his voice dropped to freezing temperatures. “Once I'm done dealing with Kian, I'll be dealing with you next.”

“The police should be arriving in about ten minutes. I suggest you think very carefully about what you're going to say.”

Police?

The woman jumped in fright, but then she found the idea utterly laughable.

She had never seen someone play the “mistress” with such blatant arrogance before.

She was the one who wanted to call the cops!

“She seduces someone else's boyfriend, and you have the nerve to call the police?” The woman laughed in sheer disbelief. “The absolute audacity!”
