Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1807

She hadn't heard a single rumor about him actually being permanently paralyzed.

If he was back, Ebony Fox was definitely back as well.

The fact that they had been quiet these past few days meant they were likely brewing a massive storm.

"Alright, I have a nail appointment with my best friend tomorrow. I'm going to sleep."

Annie yawned, looking exhausted. "I'm so tired. I'm heading to bed."

"Annie—"

Mrs. Ainsworth frowned, wanting to say more.

"Oh, right." Annie abruptly stopped, turning around to face her. "Tell Dad to transfer another five million to my card. I have my eye on a bag, and there's a heavy purchase quota to meet for it."

"Your dad?"

Mrs. Ainsworth truly couldn't fathom how she had raised such a daughter, completely exasperated. "If your dad finds out, he will literally kill you."

"Dad wouldn't do that." Annie said with full confidence, "No matter what, I'm still his daughter."

Mrs. Ainsworth shook her head, her face etched with deep sorrow.

Between the rise and fall of the family empire and their child, she knew exactly what her husband would choose.

During the two days Annie had been missing, he had relentlessly interrogated her for her whereabouts.

She dreaded to think what would happen next.

"Regardless, you need to stay put quietly at home for the time being," Mrs. Ainsworth ordered with a dark expression. "Otherwise, if something happens, Mom really won't be able to protect you."

"I know, I know."

Finding her mother incredibly annoying, Annie agreed casually. Clutching her purse and swaying on her high heels, she stumbled back to her room.

If something happens?

She didn't believe Ebony Fox would actually dare to touch her.

Grandpa just talked tough but was soft-hearted. When push came to shove, he would definitely cover for her.

The next day.

Annie woke up to a call from her best friend, asking her to go out and get their nails done.

"My mom is guarding me downstairs." Annie glanced at the living room, highly annoyed. "My mom is just way too timid."

Although she was at fault for the incident, it wasn't like anyone had died.
