Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1135

"Juniper?"

He pressed his lips together, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. "Is that you?"

Juniper bit her pale lips, her breathing ragged.

"I was going to get out just now, but my seatbelt got jammed. I couldn't get it undone," Shanley said after a two-second pause, his voice low and hoarse.

"Shanley Schwartz, do you believe I'll kill you myself?" Juniper tightened her grip on the phone, her voice completely raw.

"Heh." Hearing her speak, Shanley let out a sigh of relief, a faint smile touching his lips. "My life belongs to you. No one else can take it."

"Get out of the car."

Juniper's eyes were bloodshot, her raspy voice trembling. "Do you think I need you playing the martyr for some heroic sacrifice?"

"It's too late." Shanley's eyes darkened, his tone gentle and endlessly indulgent. "I've taken precautions. I'll be fine."

"Shanley, you really aren't afraid I'll find myself a new toy boy, are you?" Juniper swayed on her feet, her tone hardening. "I told you to get out of the car. Did you hear me?"

Shanley remained silent, his refusal clear.

"I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

Watching the timer tick closer, Juniper shouted coldly, "Shanley..."

*Beep, beep, beep...*

Suddenly, the signal was cut off. The call ended.

Juniper's expression changed drastically.

She quickly clicked into the car's interior surveillance feed. Before her eyes could even process the image...

*Bang!*

Right on cue, the trailing vehicle rear-ended Shanley's car as planned.

The camera switched to the front view.

Juniper watched as Shanley's head slammed violently into the steering wheel. The windshield spiderwebbed with cracks.

*Bang—*

The car behind failed to brake in time, delivering another deafening crash. Shanley's vehicle lost control and smashed through the guardrails of Northbeck Bridge.

The barrier shattered.

The car spun wildly out of control and, amidst the screech of tires, plunged nose-first into the river below.

*Smash—*
