Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1245

Jimmie frowned, saying nothing.

Her smile looked more painful than her crying.

"Bye."

Luella waved him off, bypassed him, and walked over to Juniper, raising an eyebrow. "Juniper, I need to talk to you about something."

How could she change expressions so fast?

He almost thought he had imagined it!

Jimmie closed the door and left.

"Okay."

Juniper stood up, moving rather slowly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing her sluggish pace, Luella asked curiously, "Did you hurt your leg?"

Juniper pursed her lips, unable to explain.

"I told you not to wear those high heels," Luella added nonchalantly. "See? Now you're limping."

"Oh, right."

Juniper nodded guiltily, looking back at Shanley. "Why don't you go take a walk on the balcony?"

"...Alright."

Shanley stood up and walked to the balcony.

The guest room door clicked shut.

Juniper leaned against the desk, asking with concern, "What's going on?"

"Nothing. My dad just called to yell at me."

Luella sat on the couch, hanging her head dejectedly.

"Would a phone call really make you cry?" Juniper didn't buy it. "What exactly happened?"

"Today is the anniversary of my mom's passing."

Luella's lips trembled, her face pale. "But that old bastard actually spent it celebrating his mistress's daughter's birthday. He handed the memorial arrangements over to the servants."

"The servants slacked off. The ceremonial papers didn't burn properly, and it started a fire. It burned my mom's memorial plaque."

"Who knows if that mother-daughter duo set it up?" Luella grew angrier as she spoke, suddenly standing up. "No, I'm going back right now to destroy them."

On the day her mother died, her wretched father had been with his mistress, welcoming a new child.
