Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 399

Just ‘oh’? Shanley's eyes darkened, and he gazed at the girl with a profound look. Did "oh" mean she agreed with what he'd just said? He was going to marry her! And she would agree?

Shanley wanted to ask, but he held back. He could wait. A few more days wouldn't hurt. Right now, the most important thing was to find out the truth about her middle brother.

...

Over the weekend, Harold flew back from Australis. The moment he walked into the lab, he saw his assistant sitting on the sofa, his face bruised and swollen.

"What happened to you?" Harold asked, glancing at him. "And how did it go with the task I gave you?"

"Well—" The assistant looked utterly wronged and immediately stood up to complain. "I couldn't get close to Ms. Payne at all! Look what she did to me!"

Harold took a closer look, his brow furrowed. "She hit you?"

"Not exactly," the assistant mumbled. But Ms. Payne's expression had already turned sour. If he had kept following her, he was sure he would have been beaten up.

"I'll handle this myself," Harold said, seeing his assistant's sorry state. "You can take the next couple of days off."

Anyway, his grandmaster was coming over later. He could get the hair sample himself.

...

In the afternoon, Juniper arrived at the lab with Shanley in tow, right on time.
