Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1571

"So even knowing the guy she calls her 'brother' has a girlfriend, Janet Wilcox is still deliberately cuddling up to him?"

"Oh my god, Janet is a real multitasker. Stringing Kian Holloway along while seducing Melvin Steele."

"Why only blame the girl? That Steele guy isn't innocent either. They're both trash."

Hearing the growing gossip behind her, Janet couldn't sit still. She could tolerate people misunderstanding her, but she couldn't let them drag Mr. Steele through the mud.

"You guys..."

Fighting the pain in her waist, Janet tried to stand up and argue.

Before she could, Melvin pressed her back down. "Sit tight."

"They are..." Janet's eyes turned red, her voice trembling. "Being too much."

"Here, a gift. Play with it if you're bored." Melvin handed her a small box, comforting her softly. "I'll have this sorted out in ten minutes. Do you trust me?"

Meeting the man's deep eyes, Janet's agitated heart calmed down.

She nodded gently.

"Good."

Ignoring the chatter around them, Melvin spoke in a low, raspy voice. "Since this is about 'catching someone in the act,' shouldn't the other party be present as well?"

That made sense.

Wasn't Kian the victim here? It would be best to confront him face-to-face!

But wait.

Wasn't Kian so furious that he ended up in the hospital?

Just as the crowd murmured, a commotion erupted at the cafeteria entrance.

Two burly men in black, leading a 'weak' Kian Holloway, appeared in everyone's line of sight.

Kian walked ahead of them, his face pale and his eyes darting around shiftily.

He looked completely panicked and cowardly.

"Mr. Steele."
