Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 417

"Master, please don't mind him," Dr. Zigmund explained hastily, breaking out in a cold sweat and forcing a smile. "This foolish boy…"

"He's my brother," Juniper interrupted calmly.

"Brother?" Dr. Zigmund paused for a second before nodding. "When did you two become sworn siblings? Isn't that against protocol?"

He called Juniper 'Master', and Harold was his student. By rights, he should call Juniper 'Grandmaster'. If they were sworn siblings... that would put him in a very awkward position.

"My biological brother," Juniper clarified.

"Bio... biological brother?" Dr. Zigmund's eyes widened as he looked back and forth between Juniper and Harold. He'd never heard that the Houstons had another child. Besides, they didn't look anything alike.

"That's right." Fearing Dr. Zigmund's brain might short-circuit, Harold stepped in to explain. "I've had some issues with the Houston family, but Juniper is indeed my youngest sister."

"Youngest sister?" Dr. Zigmund stammered, his mind struggling to keep up.

"Correct," Harold nodded with a smile. "Besides her, I have two brothers. I'll introduce you all someday when there's time."

Dr. Zigmund stood there, utterly dumbfounded. What was happening? He hadn't seen Harold in a month, and somehow in that time, his student had become his Master's brother?

"So," Harold continued after clarifying their relationship, clearing his throat and deliberately lowering his voice, "if you ever think about using me as cheap labor again, making me water your flowers and tend your garden, I'll just have to tell my little sister."

"You—" Dr. Zigmund's face darkened. He glared at Harold, so angry his bald head seemed to gleam even brighter.

"'You' what?" Harold grinned, looking quite pleased with himself. "I have a sister now!"

"You brat!" Dr. Zigmund seethed through clenched teeth. "You've finally found someone to hide behind!"
