Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1227

Juniper turned around, looking at the man with a grave expression. She stood on her tiptoes, pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth, and raised an eyebrow. "Rest up. We have plenty of time ahead of us."

No matter how you listened to it, that phrase sounded deeply inappropriate.

His little girl was picking up bad habits.

The rain poured down in torrents.

Fierce winds whipped the dark clouds, and the ocean surged violently, crashing against the shore with deafening roars.

The rain fell harder and harder.

The entire sky went black, making it impossible to see a hand in front of your face.

Juniper approached the surveillance cameras and paused to think, the rain drenching her face.

A few seconds later.

She picked up a sturdy branch from the ground, dipped it in mud, and dropped into a sprinter's stance.

3 - 2 - 1.

Juniper sprinted forward and leaped, smashing the branch violently against the camera.

The feed cut to static for several seconds.

Juniper successfully bypassed the camera, dusted off her hands, and kept moving.

There were more cameras ahead, but since she was close to the house, she could scale the walls.

Meanwhile.

Inside the villa.

Theia sat quietly in the living room, staring blankly at the grand piano in front of her.

"Theia, it's been years since I've heard you play."

Corvus sat on the sofa, swirling a glass of red wine, in exceptionally high spirits. "Today is a wonderful day. Play something to celebrate."

The so-called "wonderful day" was that the Gene Modification Project was nearly complete.

Nadia was in the lab right now, making the final adjustments.

Perhaps by tomorrow...

The research would finally be done.

"Theia, why aren't you moving?" Having been treated like thin air for days, Corvus had his limits, and his tone sharpened considerably.

Theia took a deep breath, resting her slender fingers on the black and white keys.

A melodious, soothing tune drifted through the air, calming the mind.

Corvus nodded in satisfaction, closing his eyes to enjoy the music.

As she played, Theia kept her eyes on Corvus, her gaze locking onto his hand.
