Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 541

"That's right," Ferdinand replied smugly. "The same Malone family you've heard of."

While his family couldn't compare to giants like the Schwartz Group, they still had considerable influence. Juniper might have a famous actor for a brother, but in the end, he was just an entertainer. How could an actor compare to a real entrepreneur? In front of the Malone family, people like him knew their place. If Juniper had any sense, she'd know not to cross them.

"Oh," Juniper lowered her gaze, her eyes landing on Ferdinand with an expression of pure, unadulterated contempt. "And?"

What? Ferdinand was completely thrown. She knew who he was; she should be backing down, not asking him 'and?'. Did she actually intend to humiliate him in front of thousands of students?

"My father is also an investor in Eclara University! That building over there? He funded it!" Ferdinand pressed on, hoping to intimidate her.

"Are you going to walk up there yourself, or do I have to carry you?" Juniper stared at him, her patience wearing thin. "I forgot to mention, I know taekwondo. Dragging you onto that stage would be a one-handed job."

Ferdinand froze, a flicker of fear in his eyes as he sized her up. Before, he might have called her bluff. But after everything he'd just witnessed... at this point, if she claimed she could fly, he'd probably believe her.

"Juniper, don't push it," Ferdinand threatened through gritted teeth. "If you mess with me, you won't last long at Eclara University."

"Tsk." A laugh escaped Juniper's lips, her voice lazy and mocking. "Looks like I've been too nice to you."

Before he could react, she shot out a hand, grabbed a fistful of his hair, and started dragging him toward the stage.

"Aaaah! Juniper, what are you doing?!"

"Ow, ow, ow! My scalp! You're tearing my hair out!"

"You just wait! I'm going to get you kicked out of Eclara University!"

"It hurts so much! I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Ignoring his pig-like squeals, Juniper hauled him onto the stage. The students below stared, mouths agape.
