Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1246

"Juniper—"

Hearing Juniper's remark, Luella's tears dried up instantly, and she stamped her foot in frustration. "I came to you for comfort, not to have you rub salt in the wound!"

"Okay, okay, my bad!"

Juniper raised her hands, a helpless smile on her lips. "When do you plan to make your move?"

"The time isn't right yet!"

Luella's smile vanished, replaced by a deep-seated hatred in her eyes. "I need to establish a solid foothold in Stellara Country and consolidate my power before I can take the Executive Chief's seat."

"Then, I'm going to destroy everyone who ever bullied my mom!"

"When the time comes, all of Stellara will be mine, and I can have as many gorgeous guys as I want."

Juniper pursed her lips. It seemed Luella didn't need any comforting after all.

"If you need my help, just tell me," Juniper said earnestly.

No matter where she was, she would step in.

"I won't need it for now." Luella waved her hand dismissively.

Stellara Country was a sovereign nation, after all.

If Subterra Vanguard and the Sigma Network dared to interfere, it would be meddling in foreign affairs, which would bring them bad press.

Moreover, the operation would be incredibly dangerous—it was a life-or-death gamble.

Her dear Juniper had suffered for over a decade. Now that she was finally reunited with her family and had a man who loved her, she deserved to enjoy her good life.

She should stay far away from the crossfire from now on.

"Alright, I'll head out now." Having vented her frustrations, Luella was in a much better mood, reverting to her usual boisterous self. "I found this really awesome new bar. The drinks are great, and the guys are fresh as daisies..."

"Shh."

Juniper blinked, whispering a warning. "Shanley has really good hearing. Don't let him hear you."

She might have been talking about looking at guys, but to Shanley's ears, it might sound like looking for entirely different things.

"Why should I be afraid of him?"

Luella huffed, showing no mercy. "If he has a problem with it, just dump him."

"Oh right, you guys aren't legally married yet. Technically, he's still on probation! Hahaha."

Juniper trailed silently beside Luella.
