Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 375

Harold Houston? The guy who had snatched her rare herb, stared at her for no reason, and then tried to strike up a conversation? He hadn't seemed particularly bright. How could he possibly be the chosen successor for the Orient Country Medical Association?

Juniper’s brow furrowed. As she was pondering this, a low, magnetic voice sounded from behind her. “What are you spacing out about?”

Shanley’s gaze fell on her phone screen. A friend request from Harold?

It had taken him considerable effort—driving her to and from school, showering her with delicious food—just to earn the privilege of being a contact on her WhatsApp. Who did this Harold think he was? And how did he even get her number?

“Juniper…” Shanley's smile vanished, replaced by a dark cloud of gloom. His throat felt tight. “Why is he adding you?”

Juniper looked up and met his resentful gaze.

“He looks like trouble,” Shanley grumbled, his voice laced with jealousy. “I bet he has ulterior motives. Delete him, Juniper.”

Lately, it felt like his days were spent fending off one rival after another. Why did everyone have their eyes on his girl? He had a powerful urge to hide her away at home, where no one else could see her.

“Are you jealous?” Juniper asked, her red lips twitching as she blinked up at him.

“You’re only just noticing?” Shanley gently tapped her forehead with his finger, a mixture of frustration and amusement in his eyes. “I’ve put my entire fortune on the line for you. Of course I’m scared of being abandoned.”

His entire fortune? Right, all that money. Juniper’s expression shifted.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Even if he did have bad intentions, it wouldn’t work. We’re in completely different generations,” she said, a playful curve to her lips. “Technically, he has to call me… Grandmaster.”
