Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1116

"I'll think about it," Corvus finally said, his words cold and measured. "I'll be in touch."

"No problem." Juniper smiled faintly. She tossed a bottle of pills onto the table and crossed her arms. "His body is in terrible shape. He can't take much more torment. If anything else happens to him, calling me won't do any good. Give him this medication three times a day, right on schedule. Let's go."

Having said her piece, Juniper didn't wait for Corvus's reaction and turned to leave.

She hadn't taken more than a few steps when Corvus's voice rang out again. "Dr. Nocturne, wouldn't this be considered a betrayal against Specter?"

"Betrayal?" Juniper narrowed her eyes and laughed coldly. "You seem to have forgotten that Specter only approached me because of your demands. Specter and I *were* partners... Now?" Juniper paused, a wicked smirk playing on her lips. "Well, if you can convince Specter to come back to the table, maybe we can still be partners."

Corvus's expression darkened as he watched Dr. Nocturne walk away.

A moment later, Gino the steward stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully. "Sir."

"Did she talk?" Corvus asked, his face rigid.

"No." Gino kept his head down, his tone extremely cautious. "She's stubborn. She refuses to say a word."

"You can't even pry open a little girl's mouth?" Corvus turned to look at Gino, a terrifyingly dark sneer forming on his lips. "What exactly am I paying you for? Do I need to teach you how to do your job?"
