Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 723

“Mr. Langley! So it was you?” Flint said with a nervous laugh as he untied Luella. “What a mess. Looks like it was a case of friendly fire, huh? One big family fighting each other.”

“Don’t,” Luella said, tossing the handcuffs into the sea and rubbing her wrists. Her tone was laced with sarcasm. “I’m just a prisoner of Sigma Network. I wouldn’t dare claim to be family.”

Felton and Flint went quiet, too intimidated to argue. It was clear Ms. Payne was genuinely furious.

“Juniper, my wrist really hurts,” Luella whined, returning to Juniper’s side and deliberately showing her the bruised skin. “And there’s a big footprint on my shoulder!”

Felton and Flint both took a sharp breath, feeling the air leave their lungs.

“Felton, I believe that was your foot that kicked Mr. Langley, wasn’t it?” Flint asked, blinking innocently.

“Bullshit!” Felton retorted, his brow furrowed. “I distinctly remember you doing it.”

“It was definitely you,” Flint muttered, turning his head away and pretending he couldn’t hear.

“Juniper…” Shanley threw the prosthetic mask away and cautiously approached her. His throat felt like it was clogged with raw meat, making it almost impossible to speak. “Listen to me…”

“Leader of Sigma Network, may my subordinate and I leave now?” Juniper took a step back, putting distance between them. Her expression was cold. “Or would you like to continue discussing the contract?”

Shanley pressed his thin lips together and shook his head.

“Oh, that’s right,” Juniper said with a mocking smile. “I forgot. You were also planning to send me to a deserted island.”

“No,” Shanley said, shaking his head again, looking utterly defeated.
