Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1361

With her striking features, undeniable presence, and radiant aura, she stood out effortlessly in the crowd.

Passing Eclara University students couldn't stop staring, huddling together and whispering.

But they were about to be disappointed.

After the news broke labeling Juniper a "monster," not only did the Schwartz family not cancel the engagement, but Shanley had actually become even more high-profile about his devotion.

"Look at the news!" someone suddenly shouted. "The Schwartz family just released a statement!"

It was a single, direct sentence: "The future matriarch of the Schwartz Group will only ever be Juniper Payne."

This was an undeniable declaration of support, backing Juniper to the absolute limit.

By the looks of it, she shouldn't be called a monster—she was an enchantress.

How else could she have completely bewitched the Schwartz family?

Spotting Shanley, Juniper furrowed her brow.

Mr. Show-off.

Shanley stepped forward, took her hand, and smiled gently. "Let's go home."

Juniper let him lead the way.

Of course, the man couldn't just walk in a straight line. For a distance of only a few feet, he deliberately paraded her in a wide circle.

Even though Juniper was cringing internally, it was admittedly quite satisfying.

The expressions on the gossiping onlookers' faces were far more entertaining than any of the articles online.

They got into the car.

Shanley leaned over to buckle Juniper's seatbelt. Then, resting his arm out the window, his cold gaze swept over the crowd as his voice cut through the air.

"I have three things to clarify.

First: My fiancée is not some genetically modified freak. She is a natural-born genius. If you want proof, just wait.

Second: The position of my wife has a name permanently engraved on it. Her name is Juniper Payne, and that will never change in this lifetime.

Third: You can gossip all you want, but you cannot insult my fiancée. I have a terrible temper, and I am extremely protective of what's mine. If I see even half a word of insult directed at her again..."

The rest of his sentence was too bloody to speak aloud.

But anyone with half a brain understood.

Even if Shanley wanted to kill someone, he could do it without leaving a single trace.
