Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 452

“Next time, I’ll take you all to the top floor,” Yelena bragged.

“The top floor?” Her friends stared at her with envy.

“I’ve only been there once with my dad, and we just sat in the main hall. I can’t even imagine going to the very top.”

“It’s nothing,” Yelena said, lifting her water glass, lying without batting an eye. “From now on, we can go whenever we want.”

As she spoke, her eyes unexpectedly met Juniper’s meaningful gaze. Juniper was leaning back in her chair, slowly eating pistachios, but her eyes were locked on Yelena.

Yelena’s heart skipped a beat. She was so startled that her hand trembled, nearly dropping her glass.

“Yelena, look, it’s Janet,” one of the girls pointed out. “And Juniper.”

Yelena didn’t dare say a word.

“Oh, Juniper’s here?” another girl sneered, lowering her voice. “No wonder the home-wrecker’s daughter can afford a place this fancy.”

“Exactly,” her friend added, sipping her juice. “In our social circle, every heiress and wife is legitimate. A girl like Janet isn't even worthy of cleaning my shoes.”

Although the girls were whispering, Yelena heard every word clearly. The repeated phrase “home-wrecker’s daughter” felt like a series of slaps across her own face.

“The home-wrecker’s daughter?” Just as she was reeling, Juniper suddenly spoke up, swirling her glass. “Funny you should mention that. I know a story about a home-wrecker’s daughter. Want to hear it?”

“Yes!” Janet responded enthusiastically, playing along perfectly. “I want to hear it!”
