Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 552

"Juniper…" The shock of it all, combined with the terrifying prospect of prison, sent Farrell's mind reeling. "I'm your distant uncle, for crying out loud, and you called the cops on me!"

Just then, the police officers arrived and swiftly subdued him.

"Yolanda! Yolanda!" Farrell screamed in her direction, his voice filled with fear. "Tell your mother to come save me, do you hear me?"

If he hadn't been trying to stick up for her, he never would have provoked Juniper in the first place.

“Yolanda?”

The students were still processing the revelation that their instructor was a monster, but now they turned their collective gaze on Yolanda. So Farrell and Yolanda really did know each other. No wonder he treated her differently.

"I…" Faced with all the sudden attention, Yolanda looked flustered and mumbled, "I don't know him."

Didn't know him? It was obvious they did. She was clearly trying to distance herself now that he was in trouble.

“Ugh. Yolanda is so fake.”

The students' expressions turned to ones of disgust.

...

From an office building overlooking the scene, Ebony Fox had witnessed the entire event, including Farrell's deliberate sabotage of the rope. She had considered intervening but stopped when she saw the look of absolute certainty on the young girl's face. It was then she understood. A girl with skills like that couldn't possibly be the type to let others bully her.

And sure enough, what followed was a delightful surprise.

"Heh." A faint, crisp laugh escaped Ebony Fox's throat as she stared down at the training grounds.

The sound was so unexpected that the subordinate organizing files beside her jumped.

Did he hear that right? Was Ebony Fox actually laughing?
