Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 220

Juniper glanced at Kurt’s car. It was a flamboyant, gaudy red, decorated like some kind of butterfly. It was hideously ugly!

“Juniper, look! That’s Melvin’s car!” Kurt exclaimed.

Following his gaze, Juniper saw a modified, matte blue race car parked in the number one lane. The door opened, and a tall, well-built man in a racing suit stepped out. His back… it looked so familiar, like she had seen it somewhere before. Juniper narrowed her eyes, a strange tightness gripping her heart.

“That’s Melvin Steele,” Kurt explained. “The champion of the last two F1 competitions. They say in the industry that the only one who can match him is himself… and J.” He sighed. “Ugh, it’s bad luck to even mention J.”

Whenever J came up, Kurt got depressed. If J had just agreed to race, would he be training like a dog right now?

“Shut up,” Juniper snapped, her tone cold. “Get in the car.”

“Right away.” Kurt immediately fell silent and obediently climbed into the driver’s seat.

“Do a lap. I want to see what your problem is.”

As Juniper fastened her seatbelt, she glanced outside and happened to make eye contact with Melvin, who was inspecting his vehicle. Both were wearing helmets, their features obscured, but even through the windshield, Juniper could feel his hostility. He was looking at her with disdain.

She glared right back. As she tried to place where she knew him from, the car shot forward with a roar.
