Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 974

"See her out!"

Miranda was furious just looking at her and ordered the staff to escort Sheryl off the property.

Fuming but utterly powerless, Sheryl clutched the trash bin to her chest, walking toward the exit under the mocking stares of the crowd.

As she passed Juniper, she paused for a fraction of a second, shooting her a deeply resentful glare.

Juniper Payne, right?

Just wait. She would get her revenge for today's humiliation eventually.

Once Sheryl was gone, Shanley turned to Felton, his voice dripping with ice. "Cancel the Schwartz Group's collaborations with the Yardleys for the next quarter."

Cancel?

The guests were stunned into silence by the ruthless decision. Canceling a full quarter's worth of business would be a massive financial hit to the Schwartz Group itself. But for the Yardley family, it would be a catastrophic, apocalyptic blow.

Shanley was making it crystal clear: Juniper was his heart. If anyone dared to bully her, he would scorch the earth to destroy them, even if it meant taking a loss himself.

"Ms. Payne has such an incredible presence. She's a perfect match for Mr. Schwartz!"

The shrewd socialites in the room instantly read the room, plastering warm smiles on their faces as they showered Juniper with praise.

"Absolutely. I had only heard rumors about Ms. Payne before, but seeing her today proves the praise is well-deserved." Someone else chimed in, not wanting to be outdone in the flattery. "With elegance and class like that, you won't find anyone in all of Eclara City who compares."

"A golden couple, truly. It makes you envious just looking at them."

Listening to the relentless sucking up, Juniper suddenly found her juice much less appetizing.

"The chefs have prepared an excellent spread. Please, enjoy the food," Miranda announced, sensing Juniper's distaste for the overly manufactured social scene.

"Of course."

The crowd understood the subtle dismissal and quickly dispersed.

"Juniper, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that mess during the holidays." Miranda took Juniper's hand, looking genuinely guilty. "It's all Hayden's fault! What kind of guest list did he approve? Bringing that kind of headache to our door! I'm not letting him eat dinner tonight."
