Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1157

His mother-in-law wasn't happy with him?

"Don't worry." Seeing his anxiety, Juniper's lips curved into a smile as she reassured him, "Considering how hard you fought, I'll put in a good word for you."

"Alright," Shanley chuckled lightly, let out a long sigh, and said, "Thank you, Ms. Payne."

"Just this once."

Juniper pulled back the covers and lay down next to Shanley.

Exhausted.

The girl quickly drifted off to sleep.

Because she had things weighing on her mind, she didn't sleep soundly, murmuring in her sleep.

"?" Shanley was in too much pain to sleep, so he leaned in to hear what she was saying.

"Don't die."

"Please don't die, Shanley."

Hearing those words, all the pain in Shanley's body vanished instantly.

She was even dreaming about him?

It was all worth it!

Subterra Vanguard.

Juniper found time to return to the main base.

"Juniper, is Mr. Schwartz alright?" The mentors immediately asked when they saw her.

"Michael, you seem quite concerned about him," Juniper sat on the sofa, crossing her legs, and smiled lazily.

"I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about you." Michael sighed, speaking bluntly. "If something happens to him, you'll be a widow."

No one knew her temperament better than he did.

She was hard to win over, and incredibly stubborn.

Once she committed her heart, it was for life.

"Gee, thanks," Juniper's mouth twitched, offering a sarcastic smile.

Everyone has a mother who raised them.

How could she trade other people's lives for her family's safety?

"Get ready." Juniper thought for a few seconds, her lips parting. "For this operation, I'm leading the team myself."

"No." Luella was the first to object, her face turning cold. "If something happens to you, what happens to Subterra Vanguard?"

"Aren't you and the mentors still here?" Juniper patted Luella's shoulder, smiling softly. "If I go, I can guarantee I'll bring everyone back."

Luella choked on her words.

Juniper never made empty boasts, but this plan was far too dangerous.

How did she intend to pull it off?!

"Does the old fox know?" Luella knew she couldn't talk her out of it, so she carefully brought up Shanley. "Will he say no?"

"I don't know." Juniper popped a mango candy into her mouth, raised an eyebrow, and smiled wickedly. "So what if he knows? He can't control me anyway!"

Luella was speechless. She really shouldn't have asked.
