Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1186

"Next!"

With the gene editing complete and the special memory implanted, Juniper lifted her chin slightly.

The researchers immediately carried the unconscious subject out and wheeled a new one in.

Juniper didn't pause, continuing to operate the specialized equipment and computer.

Corvus watched her quietly, his gaze growing profound.

From this angle, Specter looked remarkably like Theia.

He almost felt a surreal sense of nostalgia, as if he had traveled back over twenty years to when he and Theia worked in the same research institute.

Sensing the strange look, Juniper suddenly turned her head and caught Corvus staring right at her.

"What are you looking at?"

She frowned, a flash of disgust in her eyes, and snapped without holding back.

"If you weren't looking at me, how would you know I was looking at you?" Corvus retorted coldly, his face darkening.

"If you weren't staring at me, why would I even bother looking at you?" Juniper stopped what she was doing and glared icily at Corvus. Agitated and furious, she looked like an angry cat with its fur standing on end.

If it weren't for the reinforced iron bars separating them, Corvus had no doubt she would lunge over and rip his throat out.

"You sharp-tongued little brat!"

Corvus's expression stiffened, his aged eyes radiating a freezing chill. He voiced his displeasure, "You're my prisoner, can't I even look at you?"

"You're not so great yourself, you miserable old creep."

Juniper raised an eyebrow and let out a cold laugh. "That's right, you don't deserve to look at me!"

"Specter!" Corvus bellowed, his neck flushing red with rage, his eyes wide and glaring.

"Present, old bastard!"

Juniper maintained a faint smile, yet her eyes stared menacingly at Corvus, her arrogance off the charts.

The surrounding researchers and subordinates didn't dare utter a single word in the face of this exchange.

They had never seen anyone who could...

Oh, wait.

They had never seen anyone who *dared* to infuriate the boss this much!

A blazing fire of fury burned in Corvus's chest. He snatched a gun from the guard next to him and cocked it.

"Oh, my."
