Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 359

Shanley wasn’t fazed by Luella’s cold shoulder. He simply smiled. “We’re friends now,” he said smoothly. “If you ever need my help with anything in the future, Mr. Langley, don’t hesitate to ask.”

“Really?” Luella’s eyes lit up. “In that case, could you kill someone for us?”

The richest man in Borealia had to have resources and power comparable to that bastard who ran Sigma Network. If Shanley could take him out, it would save Juniper and the Australis base a world of trouble.

Jimmie shot a sharp, complicated look in Luella’s direction. The ‘boy’ looked so clean-cut, yet he talked so casually about murder. He hoped he wasn't a bad influence on his sister.

Shanley had just been making a polite offer. He never expected Luella to actually take him up on it. “Oh?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. “Tell me, who did you have in mind?”

“Well, there’s—” Luella began, but stopped short when she met Juniper’s dark, warning gaze. The words “that bastard who runs Sigma Network” died in her throat. Was Juniper worried he couldn’t handle the old man from Sigma Network? Tsk. They weren't even married yet, and she was already taking his side so completely. What would happen in the future?

“Never mind,” Luella said, stuffing her hands back in her pockets and lifting her chin defiantly. “There are too many people on the list. I’ll send you the details when I’ve compiled it.”

Juniper and Shanley exchanged a look. “Alright, I’m off,” Luella said. She stepped forward and patted Juniper’s cheek. “I have to head back to Australis for a bit, so I won’t be able to see you as often. Call me if you miss me.”

“You talk too much,” Juniper grumbled, but she listened to every word.

Shanley stood by silently, his expression darkening as he watched them. “Don’t get angry,” he told himself. “Do not get angry.”
