Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 976

"Send me their trace IPs..."

Juniper's face was stone-cold as her fingers flew across the keyboard.

The rival company was registered as "Sanctum Holdings." An odd name. It was clearly a dummy corporation. The legal representative on paper was a middle-aged man with a flawless background check but only an elementary school education—basically a convenient scapegoat placed there to take the fall if things went wrong.

Juniper spent a considerable amount of time digging but still couldn't unearth the true mastermind or real headquarters behind "Sanctum Holdings."

She tapped her cheek lazily, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

Something she couldn't hack into?

Interesting!

"Juniper, word is that reps from Sanctum Holdings will be attending the Global Securities Summit this weekend," Luella added, grinding her teeth over the phone. "Wanna go teach this bastard a lesson?"

Playing dirty with them?

Perfect. There was live trading happening at the summit. If Juniper took control of the floor herself, she could probably recoup all their losses in real-time.

"Done," Juniper replied, her voice dropping into a low, predatory register. "When are you flying into Eclara City?"

The summit was being held in Eclara City, and since Luella managed the financial side of Subterra Vanguard, she absolutely had to be there.

"Miss me?" Luella laughed cheekily through the speaker. "I thought you'd completely forgotten about your little darling now that you've got that older man of yours."

"?"

Shanley, who had just walked into the room carrying a glass of juice, stopped dead when he heard that.

Little darling?

Luella?

The absolute nerve of that girl. Did she lack basic self-awareness? Didn't she know *he* was the only 'little darling' in Juniper's heart?

"How could I?"

Juniper had her back to the door, completely unaware of the looming presence behind her. She swung her bare feet playfully. "You'll always be my little darling."

Bang—!

The moment the words left her mouth, the bedroom door slammed shut with aggressive force.

Juniper jumped.

She turned around to see Shanley standing near the entrance, dressed in comfortable loungewear but looking anything but relaxed. His face was a thundercloud as he stared at her.
