Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 850

“That Kurt might be… what?” Shanley’s deep eyes lifted to Juniper’s face, a lazy, enchanting smile playing on his lips.

“Trying to assassinate my sister?!” Juniper exclaimed, dodging Shanley’s hand. “Kurt is so petty! It was just one kick! Did you see the way he was looking at her?”

Wow. He was squinting at her! And he did it secretly, more than once. If they hadn’t been at the dinner table, she would have wanted to kick him herself.

“And I even gave him a sports car,” Juniper said, getting more worked up. “I’m angry now.”

“There, there, don’t be angry.” Knowing how protective she was, Shanley quickly soothed her. “Want me to deal with Kurt for you? Should I break his other leg? It’s your call.”

“That’s not necessary,” Juniper pouted, her long, thick lashes fluttering as she mumbled, “I’m not a monster.”

“Alright,” Shanley chuckled, taking her hand and tucking it into his coat pocket. “We’ll just keep them from seeing each other from now on.”

“Okay.” Juniper nodded, her gaze shifting to Ebony Fox, who was walking ahead, a solitary figure.

She was also quite curious. What kind of man could ever hope to win over her formidable sister? One thing was for sure, though—he’d have to meet at least one requirement: being able to take a punch.

Three days later, after countless experiments, Juniper and Harold finalized the formula for the antidote.

“After you take it, we’ll stay with you. We’ll respond immediately to any side effects,” Harold said, his face etched with worry.

“What side effects?” Ebony Fox toyed with the vial of antidote, a slight smile on her lips, showing no fear. “The worst that can happen is death.”

Sometimes, death was a more peaceful alternative to living. Whenever the poison acted up, the agony was so unbearable that she’d had countless thoughts of ending her own life.

“Got it.” Juniper sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and gave him a casual wave. She then opened her phone and started playing a game, glancing over at the sleeping Ebony Fox on the bed from time to time.

To ensure a one-time success, the dosage of the antidote was especially potent. If she could get through the next 48 hours without any reaction, a blood test would reveal whether it had worked. That meant she still had two days of anxiety ahead of her.

While she was playing, a news alert popped up on her screen.
