Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1194

Corvus's eyes went wide with rage. He shot up from his chair and stormed out, entirely beside himself.

She wouldn't agree?

She was his prisoner; did she really think her agreement mattered?

"He really is psychotic."

Watching his retreating back, Juniper let out a cold laugh, her insults blunt and merciless. "Now he's just spouting delusional garbage."

Who did he think he was, trying to play her father?

She wouldn't even accept him as a grandson; the bad luck would rub off on her!

Juniper withdrew her gaze, sank back into her chair, and casually resumed typing on her keyboard.

The guards stationed at the door listened to her colorful cursing, too terrified to show anger or even breathe too loudly.

If the boss was intimidated by her, they were better off staying as far away as possible.

Another week passed.

Shanley's preparations were complete, and he was back in peak physical condition.

"I'm coming with you," Ebony Fox declared, blocking his doorway with a dead-serious expression. "I failed to protect her last time. I have to bring her home."

"It's too dangerous."

Shanley tucked his weapon into his jacket, his tone final. "This isn't an operation for you."

"If Luella gets to go, why can't I?"

"Luella is heavily armed and practically one of the guys."

"Her? One of the guys?" Ebony Fox scoffed without mercy, her voice dripping with disdain. "She's incredibly prissy. Does she even fight half as well as I do?"

Shanley frowned, opening his mouth to argue, but realized she actually had a point.

"If you say no, I will talk trash about you to my parents every single day," Ebony Fox threatened coldly, her face deadpan. "You can forget about ever marrying my sister."

"Fine, but you follow my orders to the letter."

Shanley felt a massive headache coming on, reluctantly giving in.

"Deal." Ebony Fox stood at attention, radiating the aggressive energy of a battle-hungry general. "Don't worry, I'll do exactly what you say."

Shanley was a cunning fox, unlike Juniper, who loved to change strategies mid-mission.

"Let's move."
