Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 186

[I heard Juniper lives in Moultlands. Maybe she really is broke.]

[Oh my god, Jennie the designer is going over to confront her personally!]

That comment set the internet ablaze. The livestream, titled “Juniper Gets Called Out by Designer for Posing as Wealthy,” shot to the top of the trending list, and a flood of hateful comments poured in.

Meanwhile, Jennie’s mind was consumed by a single thought: was this young woman her mentor? Desperate for confirmation, she pulled out her phone and dialed the number she had saved for her mentor.

A moment later, a clear, ringing tone echoed through the silent store.

Jennie’s heart leaped into her throat. She followed the sound with her eyes, her gaze locking onto Juniper. The girl was holding up her phone, an amused arch to her eyebrow, the screen clearly displaying Jennie’s incoming call.

The hat, the phone number…

It was her. It was really her.

“Mas…” Jennie’s expression shifted from shock to pure elation. She felt an overwhelming urge to drop to her knees and bow right then and there. But just as she was about to speak, her phone buzzed with a text message from Juniper: [Keep it low-key.]

Of course. She was so young, so brilliant. If her identity as the mastermind behind an international design award winner was exposed, it could cause a huge stir and disrupt her studies. Jennie instantly understood. She clamped her mouth shut, her face breaking into a radiant smile instead. She had finally met her mentor! And she was just as beautiful and poised as she had imagined.

But her joy was short-lived. A staff member entered the store, leading two security guards and pointing directly at Juniper’s group.

“That’s her. They’re deliberately causing a disturbance. Please escort them out.”

“Right away,” one of the guards said, his face grim as he and his partner started toward Juniper.

“I said, get out!” Jennie rushed past Juniper, then pivoted to face the approaching security guards. “There is no disturbance here. Your services are not needed. Please leave.”

The viewers: [?]

What just happened? Weren’t they kicking Juniper out?

“But your employee said she…” one of the guards began, thoroughly confused.

“She?” Jennie turned back toward Juniper, her posture suddenly deferential, her tone filled with the utmost respect. “She is my most honored guest. And from this moment on, I will be serving her personally.”

The announcement landed like a bombshell. Jennie was personally serving this broke girl? Yolanda was so stunned that her hand jerked, sending a stream of liquid foundation spilling down the front of the trench coat.
