Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 322

“Who are you calling ‘old hag’?” Yelena’s smile vanished, replaced by an angry glare.

“You, obviously,” Qadir shrugged with a provocative smirk. “Who else here looks like an old hag?”

Yolanda had to stifle a laugh. She had long grown tired of Yelena lording her superior family background over her. It was about time someone put her in her place. Playing it smart, Yolanda stood back silently to watch the show.

“You—!” Fuming, Yelena raised her good hand to slap Janet, deciding to take out her frustrations on her. The car accident had left her with a lot of pent-up anger, and Janet was unlucky enough to be the nearest target.

But before her hand could connect, her wrist was caught in a firm grip. Yelena followed the arm up and saw the girl, Juniper, holding her wrist with one hand while calmly popping a piece of meat into her mouth with the other. Her expression was as placid as still water.

“You must be the orphan that mistress brought home, right?” Yelena struggled against the grip, unafraid. “No wonder Janet can afford a place like this. It’s because you’re footing the bill. I heard you snagged a rich boyfriend. But isn’t he… older than your father?”

Qadir and the others exchanged confused glances. Mr. Schwartz was old?

“If you don’t want me to expose your dirty little secrets, you’d better mind your own business,” Yelena threatened.

“A mistress?” Juniper finished chewing, dropped her utensils on the table, and slowly turned her head. Her clear, cold eyes fixed on Yelena. “Everyone knows that less than three months after Ezra’s first wife died, he married a new one. And funnier still, when the new wife moved in, she’d been pregnant longer than the first wife had been dead.”

Yelena’s face went deathly pale. She stared at Juniper in disbelief. How could she possibly know that? No one outside of her parents had ever been told.
