Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1423

She was surrounded by the crowd and the press. Countless stares and camera flashes focused on her, piercing her heart like thousands of sharp needles, hurting so much she could barely stand.

If this had been the past.

She might have started cursing, or if words failed, she would have thrown punches.

But not now.

Her every word and action would affect Jimmie.

Just as the reporters said, Jimmie's reputation had already taken a massive hit by being with her. She couldn't let it get any worse.

"Ms. Langley, does your silence prove the rumors are true?"

The reporters stared at her, pressing aggressively.

True?

Hearing the reporter's words, the bystanders immediately started murmuring.

Some said Jimmie must be blind to choose someone so androgynous over all the beautiful women in the entertainment industry.

Some fans immediately declared they were done supporting him, cursing Jimmie for playing dead and disregarding his fanbase.

Others held up their phones to live stream, and the comments flooding their screens were horrific.

They even escalated to attacking Juniper and her family.

Listening to the slander from the crowd, Luella slowly clenched the hands resting at her sides. Her eyes grew hot and red from the sheer injustice of it all.

A few seconds later.

She slowly lifted her head, staring fearlessly into the cameras, speaking word by word. "Fine. I'll address everything right now."

"You're reporters, right? Make sure you get all of this on camera."

At her words.

The entire terminal fell dead silent. Every gaze and camera lens zeroed in on her face, terrified of missing a single word.

Five minutes ago.

Jimmie's flight safely landed at Eclara City International Airport.

After turning off airplane mode.

His phone suddenly exploded with news alerts, the cover image showing Luella being ambushed by reporters at the airport.
