Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 539

As he turned, in a spot he thought no one could see, he deliberately tampered with the rifle's sight.

Juniper caught the movement out of the corner of her eye and let out a soft, derisive chuckle. What a joke. This was actually making her laugh. She took the rifle he offered and sauntered toward the shooting platform.

Since they had agreed to a rematch in a matter of minutes, the instructor had little choice but to allow it.

Afraid his nerves would get the better of him, the boy insisted on starting immediately.

"Fine," Juniper said, taking a seat on a nearby chair without another word.

“Bang. Bang. Bang.”

The boy fired each shot with extreme caution, taking a full five minutes to finish. His scores were an eight, another eight, and a seven—even better than his previous round. He let out a sigh of relief and shot Juniper a triumphant look. He had intentionally misaligned the sight on his rifle; he refused to believe she could still score perfectly with a faulty weapon.

Juniper stood up and walked calmly to the shooting position.

"If you admit you were wrong now and forfeit the rematch, maybe faint like Yolanda did, I'll play along and won't hold this against you," the boy offered, his voice dripping with condescension. After all, Juniper was the top scorer on the university entrance exam and quite attractive. He could afford to be a gentleman.

Juniper turned her head slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "Did one of your bullets go astray?" she asked, her face impassive.

"What?" The boy blinked, not understanding.

"I think it must have," she continued, a smirk playing on her lips. "Otherwise, why would you be talking as if your brain had been hit?"
