Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 879

Finally, the spotlight was back on her.

“Want to give it a try?” Jimmie kept looking over at Juniper. “It’s pretty fun,” he encouraged.

“I’m busy,” Juniper replied, shaking her head. She sank into a nearby sofa and, making sure the camera wasn’t on her, pulled out her phone. Dressed like this, the big baby at home must be fuming. If he wasn't, Shanley would have messaged her by now. *What a jealous jerk.*

“I doubt Juniper would dare,” Yolanda cut in, her tone dripping with insinuation. “She used to have nightmares after a horse went after her, you know.”

When they were kids, their grandfather had insisted Juniper join the school's equestrian summer camp. Everyone knew she was just the adopted charity case, the bastard child, and they all looked down on her. During one of the lessons, they had deliberately locked her in a stable overnight. She was lucky to be alive; with so many horses, she could have easily been trampled.

“That happened?” Jimmie’s brow furrowed with concern. “Why didn’t you ever tell me?” If he had known, he would have never brought her here. Director Miranda would have understood.

“Is that so?” Juniper slowly lifted her gaze, her eyes cold as she stared at Yolanda.

“Oh, it’s all in the past now,” Yolanda said with a mocking smile. She then stepped forward and, in a cloying voice, announced, “It’s okay, I can go first for everyone.”

Just then, Juniper’s phone vibrated. She looked away from Yolanda and saw a message from Miranda.

[Miranda: Sweetie, you’re afraid of horses? I had no idea! I’ll send someone to pick you up right away.]

[Juniper: It was a long time ago. I’m grown up now. I’m fine.]

She wasn’t afraid of horses. If anything, the horses were a little afraid of her. Every time she entered a stable, the ones that knew her would shy away.

[Miranda: Okay, good. Just stay away from the horses, dear.]
