Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 768

Push it? Who was pushing it? She had barged into his territory, kidnapped his son, and was now yelling at him? Had this little brat never learned how cruel the world could be?

“If I don’t see Ebony Fox in five minutes, your son can say goodbye to his legs,” Juniper declared, pulling out her phone and dialing a number. “Take off his left leg in three minutes.”

“You said five minutes!” Ewan retorted, his face grim.

“I did,” Juniper said with a smirk, her eyes narrowing dangerously. Her tone was pure arrogance. “The last two minutes are for you to reconsider.”

“Are you threatening me?” Ewan drew his pistol, cocked it, and aimed it at Juniper, his eyes burning with rage.

“I am,” Juniper replied without hesitation, her voice slow and steady. “One and a half minutes left.”

As she spoke, she turned on her phone and pulled up a live video feed. On the screen, a boy was tied up on the floor. A hand holding a hammer was slowly approaching him.

“No, no!” the boy struggled desperately, pleading with the camera. “Dad, save me!”

Ewan stood frozen, his fingers clenched tightly as he fought back the urge to erupt. He was the director of the Huntsman Institute. How could he allow himself to be threatened?

“Ewan, it seems you’re testing my patience,” Juniper said with a taunting smile that vanished in an instant. Her voice turned ruthless. “Do it!”

*CRUNCH—*

“AAAAHHH—”

A sickening impact and a heart-wrenching scream tore through the air simultaneously.

“I’m taking her with me.” Juniper’s clear eyes were frosted with ice. Seeing Ebony Fox’s condition, she had lost all patience.

“You can take her,” Ewan said, a triumphant smile spreading across his face. “But first, you’ll return my son and do one more thing for me.”

“Name it,” Juniper said, wanting to get this over with. Anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem.

“I want you to kidnap Specter from Subterra Vanguard,” Ewan said without hesitation, his eyes filled with hatred at the mention of the name. This girl had proven her skills five years ago, and she was clearly no pushover now. He had originally kept Ebony Fox around to complete the mission of assassinating Specter.

Hearing this, Ebony Fox’s body stiffened, and a faint, ironic smile touched her lips. Kidnap herself? How absurd!

“Kidnap who?” Juniper thought she had misheard and leaned in. “Say that again.”
