Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 570

[Sorry, not interested.]

Juniper gave the message a cursory glance before typing her reply.

First, she genuinely wasn’t interested. Second, it was unlikely a “senior instructor” could teach her anything. And third… she was a wanted person at Huntsman Institute. Going back would be like walking into a trap.

To make sure the instructor got the message, she blocked the number.

Seeing her next message fail to deliver, Ebony Fox was momentarily surprised, then a faint smile touched her lips. “That temper is just like my little sister’s.”

The next second, her phone rang. It was one of her subordinates. “Ebony Fox, Jimmie lands in Eclara City tomorrow night.”

“Understood.” Ebony Fox’s response was a low hum. Her gaze drifted to the distance, her feelings growing complicated. Soon she would know if Juniper was her little sister or not. And then there was Jimmie, her supposed brother.

...

After the opening ceremony, Juniper was summoned to President Lionel Landon’s office. She assumed she was about to get a lecture about the mishap with her speech. But when she pushed the door open, she found not only Lionel but also Shanley inside.

“President Landon, you were looking for me?” Juniper’s gaze swept past Shanley as she spoke with calm composure.

“Come in,” Lionel beckoned with a smile.

“Okay.” Juniper entered the office and casually took a seat next to Shanley.

Lionel was so startled his smile froze on his face. He quickly warned her, “Why are you sitting there?”

He wouldn’t even dare to sit next to Shanley, yet this student was remarkably bold.

In all the years he had known Mr. Schwartz, he had never seen him smile like that! Could it be...

Lionel looked back and forth between Shanley and Juniper. Despite the significant age gap, surely Mr. Schwartz wouldn’t do something so scandalous… right?!

“Ahem…” Noticing Lionel’s stare, Shanley cleared his throat and composed himself. “Juniper’s brother and I are old friends.”

“Oh, I see…” Lionel visibly relaxed, his face breaking into a brilliant smile. “No wonder you two get along so well. So you’ve known each other for a long time.”

A friend’s sister, which basically made her Mr. Schwartz’s little sister. He had almost let his imagination run wild. It was clear their families were close; after all, you don't just donate buildings worth tens of millions on a whim.

“Juniper is such an excellent student. Not only are her grades outstanding, but she’s also…” Realizing Shanley’s special regard for Juniper, the quick-witted Lionel immediately began to sing her praises.

Listening to his incessant chatter, Juniper’s brows furrowed slightly. He was getting loud.
