Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1573

Kian's brain buzzed violently once again.

"You knew about Janet's connection to Juniper and the Schwartz family, so you wanted to use her as your stepping stone to the top," Melvin continued, his expression dismissive. "But Janet wanted absolutely nothing to do with you. So when your confession got rejected, you threw a tantrum and staged this whole thing to ruin her reputation."

"Kian, that was a truly vicious move."

Hearing Melvin's explanation and seeing Kian's reaction, the onlookers finally pieced it all together.

"Good lord, he staged the whole thing. That's disgusting."

"Of all the rumors to start, he chose something that could ruin a girl's life forever."

"Why do you think he did it? He literally wanted to destroy Janet."

"He always looked so gentle and polite. Who knew he was this rotten to the core?"

"Someone like him is studying law? He's going to be a corrupt nightmare of a lawyer!"

"Say something, Kian!"

Kian looked at Melvin, then at the crowd aggressively closing in on him. Finally, he spoke coldly, "So what if I started the rumor?"

"If Janet doesn't like me, why did she accept my breakfast?"

"She never took your breakfast!" A girl pushed her way through the crowd, panting heavily. She leaned on her knees, gasping for air. "You secretly left it every time and then disappeared."

"It felt gross to throw it away, but it's a waste of food. We haven't been well-fed for that long," the girl, who was Janet's desk mate Winnie, said angrily. "So I ate it!"

"Besides, it was just a pastry and a drink. How much could that possibly cost? Who can't afford that?"

"From the very beginning, Janet told you she didn't like you. You were the one shamelessly forcing yourself on her."

Kian froze again.

"Thanks, Winnie," Janet said, staring at her friend with tearful eyes.

"No problem," Winnie waved it off, still fuming. "I just can't stand guys who act so self-righteous."

The crowd erupted into insults, the words growing harsher by the second.

"So what?"
