Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1400

Who would have guessed?

Luella was so young, yet her kid was already this big?!

The reporter hoisted the heavy camera and tried to chase after them, but lost them in the crowd almost immediately.

——

Leaving the airport.

Luella dropped Jared off at the kindergarten gates.

Today was his first official day of school.

"Sis!"

Jared, wearing his little backpack, gently tugged on Luella's fingers, his expression incredibly serious. "Don't be sad. Jimmie will be back in two days!"

"As soon as school is out, I'll come straight home to keep you company!"

"Alright."

Luella's heart melted completely. She affectionately ruffled his hair, murmuring softly, "Don't cause any trouble at school. Play nice with the other kids."

"I know, Sis."

Jared nodded obediently, waving at her before finally following the teacher into the building.

Luella watched until his small figure disappeared inside.

She pulled her gaze away, got back in her car, and headed straight for the Cloudscape Community.

Though she had been a bit sad to see Jimmie go, the thought of getting to hang out with her best friend all day instantly lifted her spirits.

——

Cloudscape Community.

Juniper was lounging on the sofa, lazily eating the fruit Shanley had perfectly sliced for her.

"The Sherwin Group?" Luella asked, her interest piqued. "Juniper, why are you suddenly gunning for them?"

"I want to take the company back." Juniper flipped through a stack of documents, her tone laced with icy detachment. "I gave them too much freedom before, and they crossed the line."

She had only tolerated them out of respect for her grandfather, but they had continuously pushed their luck, growing more and more brazen.

If she didn't bare her fangs now, they'd really start to think she was a pushover.

"Will the Sherwin family just roll over and agree?" Luella asked, popping a piece of mango into Juniper's mouth.

"Of course."

Juniper chewed the fruit, a sharp smirk pulling at her lips. "I hold Grandpa's will."

It was explicitly written: 80% of the Sherwin Group's shares belonged to her.

The Sherwin family held the remaining 20%.

But if the family proved incompetent—or if they ever mistreated her—she had the absolute legal right to buy out their 20%.
