Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 260

The thought sent Jimmie's mind into a tailspin, but he quickly calmed himself.

No, that couldn't be right. He knew Shanley's character. He wasn't the type to prey on someone so close to him. He was probably just treating Juniper like the little sister he never had, and this was simply a brother's affection.

Yes, that had to be it. Reassuring himself with this logic, Jimmie felt much better.

...

After dinner, Jimmie brought up the topic of their newly discovered brother.

"I heard he's returned to the country," Jimmie began. "But he's extremely cautious and has released very little information. All we know for sure is that he was also in a shipwreck fifteen years ago and was separated from his parents and siblings."

Few people knew about the shipwreck from fifteen years ago, aside from those involved and skilled private investigators. Based on that information alone, they were ninety percent certain this person was related to them.

He's back in the country? Juniper, who was nibbling on pistachios, raised an eyebrow. Melvin had also returned recently. The similarities were piling up.

"Since Juniper dislikes Cybernetic Shadows, I hired Binary Oracle instead," Jimmie said.

"You hired them?" Juniper looked up.

"I did," Jimmie nodded with a small smile. "Don't worry, I've already paid them, so Cybernetic Shadows won't get a dime."

As he said this, he shot a look at Shanley.

Paid them? Juniper pulled out her phone and messaged her team at Binary Oracle to ask about it. They still didn't know she was Jimmie's sister.

When they heard her asking about Jimmie Tate's case, the team members were ecstatic.

[Boss, Mr. Tate is loaded! He offered fifty million for this job.]
