Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 216

“I would prefer not to,” Juniper replied without even looking up, rejecting him flatly.

This was the guy who had sprayed dust in her face, hadn't apologized, and had threatened to drag her to a racetrack? What was there to talk about with him? So rude!

Kurt looked like he was about to cry. In his desperation, he blurted out, “Ms. Payne, my dear cou… cousin-in-law?”

Juniper’s hand jolted, and she nearly choked on her water. What did he just say?

“What are you talking about?” Shanley, after a moment of stunned silence, stepped forward and tapped Kurt on the head.

“What’s with the name-calling?” he warned in a low voice. Although it was a reprimand, there was no trace of anger in his tone. In fact… he sounded a little pleased.

“It’s going to happen sooner or later,” Kurt muttered, then looked at Shanley with pleading eyes. “Shanley, help me out here. It’s about the F1 race. It’s really urgent.”

The competition was less than two weeks away, and he had to improve his speed. Since the merciless J wasn’t participating, he had to be the one to step up.

“The F1 race?” Shanley glanced back at the petite girl, his brow furrowed. “What would Juniper know about F1?”

“She knows!” Kurt’s voice rose with certainty. “Shanley, you have no idea. On the way here, Juniper on her little electric scooter left me in the dust.”

And he had been riding a custom, high-end motorcycle. It was too embarrassing to even talk about.

Shanley fell silent, his gaze on the young girl’s face growing thoughtful. F1 racing?

Juniper had no desire to deal with Kurt, but hearing that, she had to speak up. “Let him in.”

After a few seconds of silence, Shanley jerked his chin toward the door, his tone subdued. “Come in.”
