Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1787

"Grandpa."

Annie was fuming with indignation, stomping her foot hard. "What's so great about that old hag anyway? I don't understand why Kurt likes her so much. It's not fair!"

"Go back to your room!"

Amos abruptly stood up, pointing his cane at Annie, and roared, "If it weren't for your messy situation, would our relationship with the Schwartz family have gotten this bad?"

With Hannah making things so blatantly clear, how could they ever show their faces at the Schwartz household again?

"Grandpa—"

"Annie!" Seeing that Amos was truly furious, Mrs. Ainsworth quickly grabbed her daughter, shooting her a desperate look. "Just go back for now. Your dad and I will think of another way."

Ebony Fox was like a rabid dog, refusing to let go.

Annie bit her lip, turning around in a huff and storming off.

"Annie!"

Mrs. Ainsworth immediately chased after her, heartbroken, offering consolations the whole way up.

Faintly, she could be heard promising to buy her a crocodile skin handbag from a luxury brand.

Just the labor cost alone was over a million, and with all the required supplementary purchases, it would easily run into the millions.

Meanwhile, the cost of a domestic heart transplant was only around a few hundred thousand.

Downstairs.

Amos dismissed the butler and the staff, leaving only him and his son in the living room.

"Dad, since the Schwartz family won't help with Annie's situation, Ebony Fox is definitely going to hold onto it."

Mr. Ainsworth pondered for a moment before offering his own idea. "Why don't we just go all the way and get rid of Ebony Fox?"

If she was dead, she obviously wouldn't be able to press charges against Annie anymore.

"Idiot!"

Amos shot him a sharp look, feeling a crushing sense of hopelessness at how useless his son was. He lowered his voice. "If we kill Ebony Fox at a critical moment like this, do you think her family wouldn't suspect us?"

"There's no other choice."

Mr. Ainsworth knew it was a foolish idea, but what else could they do?
