Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 398

She went through the list, eliminating names one by one. Finally, her eyes landed on a very familiar one: Faulkner Houston. Harold's father was the most renowned philanthropist in Australis.

Seeing the name, Juniper couldn't help but recall Harold's reaction when he first met her. He had even said she looked familiar. So, it was highly likely that the person in that grave was either the Houston family's biological son… or her brother.

The quickest way to find out was a DNA test. Or she could just rip open Harold's shirt and check for a scar near his heart.

The thought that Harold could be her brother made Juniper's expression complicated. All this time, she’d been teasing him, calling him a fool, while he respectfully called her his grandmaster... only for him to turn out to be her brother.

Just as she was lost in thought, the door opened and Shanley walked in.

"Dana said you ran upstairs as soon as you got back."

Her mood had been off for the past two days, and Shanley suspected she might have found out about her middle brother. He approached her cautiously. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Juniper leaned back, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Just working on something. What's that in your hand?"

"Egg tarts." Shanley opened the box, carefully observing her expression. She was smiling, her tone was light, and she seemed to be in a much better mood.

"I want one." Juniper opened the box and took one, taking a bite. Mmm. Delicious!

"Want some?" Juniper offered the half-eaten tart to Shanley. "Try it, it's good."

"Okay." Shanley let out a sigh of relief and took a small bite.
