Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 783

The staff member glanced down and saw the amount on the check. Twenty million! That was a generous sum. They were probably here to beg the Lord to take in some unforgivable criminal.

"Please wait a moment."

He made a call, and after a brief exchange, another group of armed staff approached them, their faces expressionless. "This way, please."

"What are you doing?" Felton's hackles rose as he saw one of them approaching with a blindfold.

If only he'd brought a gun, he would have lit them up. What was this nonsense? How dare these dogs try to lay a hand on Ms. Payne!

"These are the rules of Liberty Island!" the staff member said coldly.

Juniper was annoyed too. What a dump of an island, and yet it had so many ridiculous rules. If she weren't in a position where she had to bow to their authority, she would have torn the whole place down.

"Give it to me," Shanley said, taking the blindfold and coaxing Juniper gently. "I'll put it on for you."

Juniper closed her eyes in frustration, letting him handle it.

Once they were all blindfolded, Shanley took Juniper's hand, and they were guided into a black car that drove towards the Lord's residence.

The Lord's domain was a romantic, pure-white Gothic-style castle, standing tall in the middle of the water. Its architecture was ethereal yet powerful, with exquisitely carved decorations. Dazzling white stained-glass windows shimmered in the sunlight, casting a brilliant glow.

Beside the main entrance, colorful flowers bloomed amidst lush green grass, adding a touch of life to the otherwise silent and somber castle.

The west wing served as the office area. On the top floor, which soared into the clouds, floor-to-ceiling glass walls offered a panoramic view of the entire island. One wall of the room was covered with monitors displaying surveillance feeds from every corner of the island.

The slender silhouette of a figure was cast on the floor from the gray sofa. The Lord of the island sat with his legs crossed, his gaze fixed intently on the figures in the monitor.
