Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1084

Manners? She was talking about manners at a time like this?

Sheryl sprawled on the carpet, the vibrant red imprint of five fingers rapidly blooming across her pale cheek. It took her several long seconds to process what had just happened. When she did, she glared at Juniper with bloodshot eyes.

"You hit me? I'm calling the police!"

"Save your breath. The cops are already outside," Juniper cut her off cleanly. Acting every bit the pampered heiress, she extended her hand toward Shanley with a look of mild disgust. "Dirty."

Shanley stood up immediately. Taking a wet wipe from Felton, he cradled Juniper's hand and meticulously cleaned her fingers, completely unbothered by the chaos around them.

The guests watched in profound silence, too terrified to even breathe.

"You conspired to drug Shanley Schwartz, intending to destroy both his reputation and the Schwartz family's name in one night." Juniper looked down at Sheryl as if inspecting a squashed bug, her tone dripping with disdain. "Who do you think Shanley Schwartz is? Did you honestly believe his bed was that easy to climb into?"

Shanley's movements paused. He lifted his dark, intense gaze, his eyes tracing the delicate lines of Juniper's face as the corner of his mouth curved up.

She was right. It wasn't easy at all. His bed was strictly reserved for her, and her alone.

"You—" Sheryl clutched her burning cheek, realization crashing over her as her eyes widened in terror. "You knew about this the whole time? You set me up!"

She played along? Just to make a spectacular, public mockery out of her?!

"Just figured that out?" Juniper stepped forward, effortlessly plucking a hidden micro-camera from Sheryl's hair. She twirled the device between her fingers, her voice dropping to a freezing whisper. "Did you really think you were worthy of touching my fiancé?"

*Fiancé.*

Hearing her claim him so fiercely made Shanley's chest swell with deep, unrelenting satisfaction.
