Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 575

She was being so secretive. She must have been looking for the right opportunity to strike.

“Are the men ready?” Shanley asked, his grip tightening on his phone. A shadow fell over his face, as dark and cold as a layer of frost.

“They’re ready,” Flint replied respectfully. “All of them are elite operatives from Sigma Network. I guarantee Ebony Fox won't leave here alive.”

“Stay on her.” Shanley glanced back, his eyes landing on Juniper’s calm face. “Find the right time and place,” he ordered, his voice raspy, “and take care of her.”

“Understood, boss.” Flint confirmed. Before hanging up, he ventured cautiously, “Should we inform Ms. Payne?”

“…No.” Shanley thought for a moment and shook his head. “Juniper is starting her classes today. I don’t want anything else to trouble her.”

Besides, he was there for her. A man who couldn't protect his woman was useless.

After breakfast, Shanley had planned to drive Juniper to school, but a call from Melvin came in right on time.

“I’m heading over to Eclara University for some business anyway,” Melvin said. “I can give the girls a ride.”

The girls? Shanley paused for a second before it clicked. Melvin clearly had other motives. “Alright,” he agreed.

Juniper nodded languidly. “I’ll go with Janet,” she said, her eyes half-lidded.

“Okay.” Shanley handed the bag to Melvin and walked them downstairs. “Drive safe,” he said, his expression serious.

Melvin shot him a baffled look, feeling personally insulted. “Hello? Melvin Steele, three-time international racing champion. You think you need to worry?”
