Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1825

"Sounds fair," Lillian admitted.

"You're killing me here," Solomon sulked. "Anyone with a brain would check the stores first."

"Good call." She grabbed his arm, dragging him to the shop.

Moments later, they stood at the counter. The owner handed snacks to students from a glass case.

Those colorful packs were labeled "Dream Candy". The slogan went like, "Want high scores? Eat Dream Candy."

"Two packs, please. Pink ones," Lillian said, drawn to the bright packaging.

Solomon stared, incredulous. "You're picking colors now?"

"Sorry, no pink," the owner said. "Boys usually go for blue."

He slid two blue packs over. "50 bucks."

"25 bucks a pack?" Lillian gasped. "What kind of candy costs that much?"

There were no sweets that pricey in this city. Besides, these were not even branded.

"Cost me 20 to get them," the owner said. "25 is a steal. Don't want them? Plenty of others do. Move along, kid."

The students of Seamar City High were loaded, and he only dealt with deep pockets.

Soon, Solomon collapsed, convulsing.

Lillian shouted at the shop door, "Help! The candy's killing him."

Her voice drew all the attention. Some students spat out the candy in panic.

"You little liar!" the owner yelled, rushing out. "Nobody else's dying from my stuff. You're scamming me."

"He ate your candy and backed out," Lillian cried. "It's your junk. I'm calling 911."

The owner was pissed off. "You're asking for it."
