Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1763

Ebony Fox took the phone and passed it to Polly.

Polly quickly connected it to the venue's speakers. Annie's voice immediately echoed through the room: *“Trading one hand for your son's life... it's a great deal, isn't it?”*

*“If you won't do it, there are plenty of others who will.”*

*“But if you turn me down, don't even dream of getting that heart. I heard your son only has about two weeks left, right?”*

The moment the audio played, the room descended into absolute chaos.

If someone wanted to claim the audio was faked, the video evidence shut that down immediately.

In the video...

It showed Annie's chat logs with the steward, Gino:

[We have his son. He lives or dies whenever we say so.]

[These nobodies have no money and no power. They're incredibly easy to control.]

[Find a time during tomorrow's press conference to get rid of him. That way, Ebony Fox will never be able to clear her name.]

[His kid? Giving him the heart means we'd have to pay the medical bills. If he dies, he dies. As for the wife, just find a way to get rid of her too.]

[Kurt's mother is completely useless. She can't even handle one woman, so I have to do it myself.]

[If Ebony Fox dares to fight me, I'll destroy her before she even knows what hit her.]

[...]

Listening to these venomous conversations, the entire crowd was left in stunned disbelief.

They had seen ruthless people before.

But they had never seen someone this sociopathic—tossing people aside once they outlived their usefulness, not even sparing a sick child.

“I-I didn't.”

Even with a mountain of evidence staring her in the face, Annie still tried to deny it.

“Just in case anyone suspects these files are fabricated, I've invited an audio-visual forensics expert to the venue today.”

Ebony Fox's cool, authoritative voice rang out. “Because this matter also involves attempted murder, I have already contacted the police. The authorities are currently on their way.”

“I take full responsibility for all the evidence presented today. If any of it is fake, I am willing to face the full legal consequences.”

“Ms. Ainsworth, you can't outrun the law forever. Justice might be delayed, but it will never be denied.”
