Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 510

“Not at all,” Shanley said with a gentle smile, his voice soft and reassuring. “It would be my honor to trade it all for the most unique and priceless treasure in the world.”

“Oh.” Juniper was still holding a piece of candy, a thoughtful frown on her delicate face.

The wait for her response was pure agony for Shanley.

“I don’t want this junk,” Juniper declared, pushing the safes away with a deep scowl.

Junk? The word sent a ripple of shock through the room. A fortune worth hundreds of billions was junk? And she didn't want it?

“You don’t want it?” Shanley’s expression immediately grew heavy with panic, his voice trembling slightly. “Why not?”

This wasn’t about rejecting the assets; this was about rejecting him.

“I glanced through it, and most of it is real estate and company shares,” Juniper explained, her long lashes fluttering as she looked up at him, her beautiful lips pouting with displeasure. “If you give it to me, does that mean I’ll have to manage it all? I’ll have to take over your job, make the money, and then support you on top of it?”

Juniper’s expression shifted to one of indignation as she glared at him. “You’re trying to use me as free labor! So that was your scheme all along. You’re so sneaky.”

Listening to her complaint, Shanley couldn't help but let out a choked laugh. What on earth went on inside that brilliant head of hers?

Jimmie, Harold, and Melvin all sighed in unison. They finally understood which door God had closed for Juniper. Her intelligence was terrifyingly high, but her emotional awareness… well, that still needed some work.

“Pfft—” Kurt couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. This was hilarious. His future cousin-in-law’s EQ was going to make this courtship a real challenge.
