Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 337

“Mr. Langley, please, let me stay with you,” the girl pleaded, her delicate face tilted up, tear stains glistening under the streetlights, making her look even more pitiful. “If you hadn’t stepped in just now, Mr. Whitman would have… killed me.”

The girl was eighteen, a freshman in college. With her parents sick and in need of money for medical bills, she had no choice but to work at the bar. It was only her third day.

Mr. Whitman, arrogant with his wealth, treated women like objects. The past two days, he had forced her to drink so much she nearly ended up with a bleeding stomach. A little while ago, she had tried to refuse a drink, and he had thrown her to the ground and slapped her, calling her a “worthless tramp.” He’d boasted about getting rid of countless women like her and threatened that if she didn’t obey and serve him well, he would make her wish she were dead.

She was terrified and wanted to run, but everyone just watched, laughing. No one would help her. Just as she had lost all hope, Mr. Langley appeared.

Jimmie was stunned. He slowly pulled his hand back from the door handle. So it wasn't bullying… he was saving her.

“Don’t,” Luella said, taking a step back, horrified at the prospect of a real-life “repay you with my body” scenario. She flatly refused. “I saved you because I can’t stand seeing women get bullied. It wasn’t just you; I’d do the same for anyone.”

The girl bit her lip, staring at Luella with a deep, heartfelt gaze. It was the look of someone falling in love.

“Also…” Luella lit a thin cigarette, holding it between her fingers. She took a drag and exhaled slowly. “Your priority right now is school. Your education is your way out. After all…” she said nonchalantly, “no one can save you forever, you know?”

“I thought…” The girl’s fragile heart was touched by these words, and tears began to stream down her face again. “I thought you were just like the others, Mr. Langley, that you wanted something from me. I’m so sorry.”

“Hey,” Luella took another drag, a devilish smile on her face. “Alright, take this.”
