Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1140

"The Boss will definitely pull through."

Felton's brain finally caught up, realizing she must be speaking out of sheer anger.

How could she possibly want the Boss dead?

"Yeah, he'd better," Juniper muttered absently, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Otherwise, I'm going to take all his things, all his money, and all his people... and I'll go find a toy boy who's younger and handsomer than him..."

As she trailed off, her eyes suddenly filled with mist, her voice trembling. "So, he has to live. He will live!"

Felton pressed his lips together, not daring to say another word.

If he and Flint had known the "change of plans" would be this life-threatening, they wouldn't have helped the Boss hide it from Ms. Payne, even if he threatened to tear them limb from limb.

If anything happened to the Boss, they would never forgive themselves.

Juniper remained silent. She pulled out her iPad and tuned into the live streams.

The first broadcast showed Shanley's parents departing from the main estate, rushing toward the hospital.

In the video, Hayden Schwartz looked pale and haggard, his eyes bloodshot, carefully supporting his wife.

In his arms, Miranda Zuniga, a famously fierce and unyielding director, was weeping uncontrollably, her legs so weak she could barely walk.

In the end, Hayden had to carry her into the car.

Netizens commented:

[The head of the Schwartz Group loses his only son. Absolutely devastating.]

[Director Zuniga is an Iron Lady. I've never seen her cry like this. Shanley's condition must be truly critical.]

Right after that.

Reporters caught footage of Hannah leaving the estate.

Leaning heavily on her cane and supported by the maids, she hobbled forward unsteadily.

Tear tracks stained her weathered face, her eyes brimming with sheer panic.

She hadn't taken more than a few steps before her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.

Rumor had it...

The elderly Mr. Schwartz had fainted the exact second he heard the news of his grandson's crash.

Because of that, the media hadn't managed to get any pictures of him.
