Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1762

Hearing Wayne's words, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.

Several reporters were already drafting two different versions of their breaking news alerts.

# Wayne Whitman publicly accuses Ebony Fox #

# Massive plot twist! The real culprit is the Ainsworth heiress? #

Annie sat in her seat, maintaining a calm facade, though internally she was a nervous wreck.

She refused to believe he'd actually risk his son's life.

“The person who hurt me...”

Wayne kept his head down, his voice weathered and hoarse, before suddenly looking up at Ebony Fox with intense emotion. “Ms. Ebony Fox...”

*Phew—*

At those first few words, Annie let out a quiet sigh of relief, a smug smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

*See?*

*I knew trash like him wouldn't have a backbone.*

*Click, click, click—*

The reporters hoisted their cameras, pointing them squarely at Ebony Fox, their shutters firing non-stop.

They were ready to hit send on their headlines.

Amidst the chaos—

Wayne suddenly raised his hand, pointing directly past Ebony Fox—straight at Annie.

“Ebony Fox has absolutely nothing to do with this. The real culprit is Annie Ainsworth.”

“Huh?”

The reporters instantly pivoted their cameras, zooming in on Annie.

What was going on?

“My son has a severe heart condition. We finally found a donor match, but Annie withheld it from us.”

“She threatened me. She told me that if I didn't do exactly what she said, she'd let my son die of heart failure.”
