Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 362

“As for the ones you mentioned…” Juniper’s gaze swept over the discarded pile. “Go look at the photos from when they arrived. You’ll understand why after you compare them.”

Dr. Landon didn't dare argue. He immediately opened his laptop. He had documented every single plant upon its arrival. Sure enough, just as Ms. Payne had said, the ones that were discarded had been in the best condition initially but had withered rapidly over the week. The ten she kept, however, hadn't changed much at all.

“Ms. Payne, how did you remember all of them?” Dr. Landon asked in amazement. There were hundreds of plants!

“Hm?” Juniper paused for a second, then replied helplessly, “My memory is decent, I guess? You could call it photographic.”

Photographic memory was just ‘decent’? Dr. Landon’s mouth twitched. He felt like he’d just been slapped in the face for no reason. How humbling.

“You can get back to your work,” Juniper said, turning to him politely. “Thank you for all your hard work this past week. I’ll take over the cultivation from here.”

“It was no trouble at all!” Dr. Landon waved his hands quickly, a brilliant smile spreading across his face. Ms. Payne had taught him the cultivation method, and he’d learned so much in just one week.

“Ms. Payne, if you have any work like this in the future, please don’t hesitate to call me.”

“Alright,” Juniper murmured before disappearing into the lab.

...

An hour later, after finishing her work, Juniper slung her backpack over her shoulder and prepared to leave. She spotted Dr. Landon at a desk, looking miserable as he fiddled with a chemical agent. Juniper recognized it immediately—it was the P3.0 formula Shanley had bought at the auction.

“Why is the data wrong?” Dr. Landon sighed, running a comb over his balding head in frustration.

Juniper walked over, glanced at the formula’s composition and the data on the computer screen. Without a word, she added 2ml of distilled water to the vial.
