Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 749

“Who’s your grandma?!” Hannah’s voice boomed through the phone, full of vigor. “Dana told me you bullied Juniper and she ran off!”

“I…” Shanley glanced at the eager spectator beside him and tried to explain.

“You what?” Hannah launched into a tirade, showing no mercy. “I’m warning you, find my granddaughter-in-law right now. If you can’t, you can say goodbye to your legs.”

“That’s right,” Miranda’s voice cut in, even more frantic than her mother-in-law’s. “My idol has such a good temper, and you managed to drive her away? Shanley, oh, Shanley, you really deserve to die!”

“Mom—” Shanley was getting an earful, with no chance to get a word in.

“Stop!” Miranda cut him off ruthlessly. “I will only ever accept Juniper as my daughter-in-law. However you lost her is how you’re going to get her back. You know how to apologize, don’t you? Get on your knees and beg! If you can’t bring her back, your father and I might have to consider trying for another kid.”

Juniper sat beside him, quietly listening to the alternating lectures from the matriarchs. She glanced at Shanley’s face… yep. It looked even worse than when he’d been shot.

“Did you hear me?” Miranda roared. “I’m giving you two days. If you don’t bring my idol back, don’t even think about coming home.”

“Okay,” Shanley muttered, too weary to explain. He hung up and looked at Juniper. She was munching on snacks, watching him with a smirk that was clearly enjoying his misery.

“Still laughing…” Shanley’s lips twitched as he put on a pitiful expression. “You just watched them tear into me and didn’t say a word to explain.”

Juniper simply raised an eyebrow. “Rest up. We’re going to see my five masters tonight.”

See her masters? Shanley leaned back against the headboard, his features scrunching up in dread. He was in for another trial by fire.
