Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 825

Warren’s smile froze on his face. This was beyond awkward.

Just then, Celine, now in a fresh change of clothes, naturally sat down next to Juniper, her beautiful face lit up with a brilliant smile.

“Have a piece of candy.” Juniper unwrapped a small sweet and popped it into her mouth.

“Yummy.” Celine scooted even closer, clinging to her sister’s arm as if afraid she’d disappear again.

Warren sighed. It had been a long time since he’d seen Celine smile so brightly.

“Let’s get down to business,” Shanley said, breaking the strange tension. “It seems both sisters have a rather complicated situation.”

“Both sisters?” Warren froze for a second before the realization hit him. “So your goal in seeking the A-N0 specimen was…”

“Juniper’s other sister, Ebony Fox, was poisoned. The antidote is missing a single ingredient,” Shanley explained, his gaze softening as he looked at Juniper. “Coincidentally, that ingredient is the A-N0 specimen. We searched the entire world, and Liberty Island was the only place that had successfully cultivated it.”

That was why Juniper had come to Liberty Island in the first place, and in doing so, found the sister she’d long since lost contact with. It was a coincidence, but it also felt like fate.

“Celine cultivated the A-N0 specimen herself,” Warren said, his expression turning serious, his voice low. “But right now, there’s only one.”

“That’s enough,” Juniper interjected while peeling an orange for Celine. “I can cultivate more.”

Developing the antidote would require a large number of specimens, so one definitely wouldn’t be enough. But with the original plant, even the most difficult cultivation would just be a matter of time for her.

“Someone, bring it here,” Warren commanded, not daring to delay. He was desperate to get on his sister-in-law’s good side. “The specimen, now! Juniper, if you need anything else, just say the word!”

Juniper shot him a look but said nothing.

Seeing the friction between them, Celine’s expression turned sad. “Juniper… Don’t be mad,” she stammered. “I’ll scold my husband for you.”
