Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 965

Every prominent figure in Eclara City would be visiting the elders to pay their respects today. Hannah wanted the entire city to see exactly who the future lady of the Schwartz family was.

"Happy New Year, Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz."

A steady stream of guests poured into the manor, all eager to curry favor and strengthen their ties with the powerful family. Some even brought their daughters along.

Rumors had circulated that Shanley's girlfriend came from a broken, ordinary family. No one knew what kind of spell she had cast on him to make him so obsessed. These elites brought their daughters in hopes that Shanley might suddenly realize what he was missing. If not him, there was always Kurt Schwartz.

Kurt was still unattached. It was an open secret that he would soon be stepping into the Schwartz Group, and his future was just as limitless as Shanley's. Catching his eye would be a massive victory.

More importantly, word on the street was that Kurt's parents were using today's gathering to subtly scout for a suitable daughter-in-law.

And so, the heiresses took the stage, utilizing every trick in the book to charm the two elders while putting their best foot forward.

Once the lesser contenders had made their superficial attempts, a daughter of the Yardley family stepped forward with practiced elegance.

"Sheryl Yardley?" someone whispered in the crowd, drawing a collective gasp.

The Yardley family was one of the few elite households that maintained incredibly close ties with the Schwartz family. Growing up, Sheryl had practically lived at the manor. She was essentially childhood sweethearts with the Schwartz brothers.

Years ago, there had even been rumors that Sheryl and Shanley were destined for an arranged marriage. For reasons unknown, the talk had abruptly died down.

"Happy New Year, Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz," Sheryl greeted them gracefully, tilting her elegant swan-like neck. Dressed impeccably in haute couture, she radiated the aura of a flawless high-society heiress. Among the sea of debutantes, she easily stood out.
