Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 344

Juniper licked her lips. The price was on the high side, but it was still a guaranteed profit for whoever won. Not bad.

...

In another private suite, Luella was sipping red wine while monitoring the prices. When she saw the room number of the latest bidder, she sat bolt upright.

Well, well. Wasn’t that the room belonging to Juniper’s old man? He needed P3.0 too?

The richest man in Borealia, was he? The one who swept her best friend off her feet?

Luella had been looking for a way to blow off some steam, and now, opportunity had come knocking. She was going to make Shanley bleed for this.

VIP Room 2 (Luella): “Thirty million.”

Juniper’s eyes widened slightly when she saw Luella’s bid. She knew perfectly well that Room 1 was Shanley’s. Was she raising the price on purpose?

Although P3.0 belonged to their institute, they had submitted it anonymously to protect their identities.

“Boss, someone is competing with us for P3.0,” Felton reported.

“Keep going,” Shanley said, his eyes still downcast as he carefully peeled a piece of fruit for Juniper. His voice was low and casual. “The hospital lab has needed this for a long time. Get it, no matter the cost.”

This was the reason he had come to the auction.

Juniper chewed on a slice of apple, her big, clear eyes fixed on Shanley.

Room 1 (Shanley): “Thirty-five million.”

Room 2 (Luella): “Forty million.”

“Thank you, Juniper.” Her small gesture clearly pleased him. He gently patted her head.

“Felton, keep bidding.”

“Yes, boss.” Felton said no more and returned to the bidding device.

At the same time, Juniper opened her chat with Luella.

Juniper: [You raise the price one more time and see what happens.]

Luella: [Alright, alright! He’s your man, and his money will be yours someday. I’ll do you a favor and save you some cash.]

More importantly, she could tell Juniper was genuinely angry. If she pushed it any further, she might get her neck snapped tonight.
