Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 688

Uncle? The word sent a strange tingle through Shanley. By the time he snapped out of it, Juniper was already in the car, legs crossed, smirking at him.

Shanley frowned and touched his own face. Did he really look that old?

This wouldn't do. He needed to hit the gym, maybe get a facial. Juniper was already young and looked even younger. If this kept up, in a few years people would probably start mistaking him for her grandfather.

“Felton,” Shanley said as he walked to the car, giving orders to his subordinate. “Contact a personal trainer and a skincare consultant for me.”

“Huh?” Felton, who was loading luggage, was caught off guard. “Sir, you want me to book a trainer and a skincare consultant?” He paused, then added, “Is this for Ms. Payne?”

“No,” Shanley’s expression darkened, the single word emerging from between his teeth like ice. “Me.”

“…Yes, sir.” Felton swallowed his shock and relayed the order. It seemed Tucker’s ‘uncle’ comment had dealt a serious blow to the boss’s ego.

Inside the car, Juniper was staring at her phone, her eyes fixed on the eighteen million that had just been transferred into her account. Those kids from Neverfall Navigators were true to their word. They’d promised her the prize money if they won, and the moment it arrived, they sent it all to her. Her efforts hadn’t been in vain.

Almost immediately, the Neverfall Navigators group chat exploded with question marks.

Demon: [Consider it a bonus from your big boss.]

Shanley had already given her a credit card. Out of curiosity, she’d checked the balance: two hundred million. He’d said he knew she had a thing for round numbers and threw in an extra twenty million to even it out. It was a temporary salve for the financial hit she’d taken dealing with the leader of Sigma Network.
