Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1574

"However..." Melvin smoothly changed his tone, speaking slowly. "I haven't confessed to her yet, so I don't know if she'll say yes."

Then, he turned around and looked directly into Janet's eyes.

Janet's pupils dilated, her gaze trembling wildly as she fell into his deep, affectionate stare.

Why was he looking at her while saying that?

"The person I like is Janet Wilcox," Melvin declared softly, keeping his eyes on the girl's face. "I am single, and she is single. Is there a problem with me pursuing her?"

"Huh?"

The audience was bewildered, taking a moment to process the meaning of his words.

"I've had a crush on Janet for a long time, and I was planning to confess recently," Melvin reiterated. "What do you mean, two-timing? My broken ship hasn't even had the chance for her to step on it yet."

"Ah???"

The crowd exploded into chaotic chatter.

Why did this actually sound incredibly romantic?

A secret crush coming true?

Wait a minute.

Were the spectators just a prop in their little romance?

Single people's lives matter too, you know!

Janet stood frozen, her mind completely blank.

What did he mean he had a crush on her for a long time?

When she had asked him before if he was seeing anyone, he said yes, and that he was currently pursuing her.

So, the person he was pursuing was her all along?

Janet's heart and mind were a mess. She couldn't tell if he was just saying this to get her out of trouble, or if he genuinely liked her.

While she was in a daze, several police officers approached the entrance. "Who called the police?"

"I did."

Melvin stepped up and explained the entire situation clearly.

"You all need to come back with us for an investigation," the officers stated decisively. "Everyone else, disperse."

"Slap—"

At the police station.

Kian's girlfriend, knowing she was in the wrong, openly admitted it: "I did push her. Whether it's paying compensation or apologizing, I accept it."

"I only have one demand: I want this cheating scumbag to go to jail."

"Who are you calling a scumbag?"

Kian had tissues shoved up his nose, his white t-shirt stained with blood.

Hearing her, he looked ready to jump up and fight.

"Do you think this is a farmer's market?"

An officer slammed his hand on the desk, shouting in annoyance. "Stop yelling! Sit down!"

The woman obediently sat back down, exchanging glares with Kian.

"Here is all the evidence."

Melvin finished submitting the proof of Janet being framed. "My lawyer will fully cooperate with the proceedings from here on out," he said in a deep voice.

"Understood."
