Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1493

"Dr. Houston, my rates are exorbitant. Just grab an intern from Binary Oracle for something like this, okay?"

"It's urgent. It involves your sister-in-law."

"Fine." Juniper immediately rolled out of bed, fired up her laptop, and got straight to work.

In less than five minutes, the fully recovered security data was sent directly to Harold's phone.

Harold didn't miss a beat. He cast the video directly onto the venue's massive display screen.

The footage of the swimming pool played out in front of everyone's eyes.

It started with Joel's appearance. The two engaged in a conversation with very clear boundaries.

From start to finish, they were perfectly polite, without a single line crossed.

Then came Sienna...

Not only did she hurl insults at Lorelei, calling her a soon-to-be discarded wife, but she also accused her of seducing people.

Lorelei, maintaining her class, simply ignored it.

The moment she turned her back.

Sienna suddenly lunged forward, grabbed Lorelei's arm, and shoved her violently into the pool.

"Oh my god."

Gasps echoed through the crowd. "Ms. Vaughn is vicious! Knowing full well Mrs. Houston can't swim, that's literally attempted murder!"

"Weren't they just arguing that Mrs. Houston fell in on her own? The proof is right there, why so quiet now?"

"Mom!" Watching the crystal-clear, fully restored video, Sienna whipped around to stare at her mother, panic lacing her voice. "What's going on? Didn't you pay someone to delete it?"

"I thought so." Victoria kept her voice low, even more panicked than her daughter. "How did this happen? Where did he get this video?"

"Call the police."

Harold had zero interest in dragging this out with people like them. The officers would handle it by the book.

Attempted murder, malicious defamation...

He wouldn't forgive a single one of those charges.

"She didn't do it on purpose." Hearing the word 'police,' Victoria was suddenly terrified. She stammered, "It was just a joke between friends. Do we really need to involve the authorities?"

Harold raised an eyebrow. "Are you friends with her?"
