Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 644

Victor stood frozen, his face ashen, his mind a complete blank.

“Mr. Schwartz…” The director on the phone hesitated, the horrifying reality of the situation dawning on him. He nearly bit his tongue off. “It must be a misunderstanding! I’ll handle it right now, Mr. Schwartz.”

He hastily ended the call and, with fumbling hands, immediately dialed Victor’s number again.

The phone vibrated in Victor’s pocket, the screen lighting up with the director’s name. He trembled, lacking the courage to answer.

Hayden simply plucked the phone from Victor’s pocket and put it on speaker.

“Victor, what the hell are you doing?” the director’s furious voice blared from the speaker. “What imposter? That is Mr. Schwartz! You let him go right now, or else—”

“I’ll handle the rest,” Hayden cut in coldly. “As for my presence in Eclara City tonight, you know what to do.”

“Yes, sir,” the director said, his voice laced with terror. “I haven’t received any calls tonight. I know nothing about your whereabouts, Mr. Schwartz.”

“Good.” Satisfied with the answer, Hayden hung up and tossed the phone onto the floor in disgust. He then pulled a sanitizing wipe from his pocket and began meticulously cleaning his fingers.

It took a moment for the reality to fully sink in for Victor and the captain. This man wasn't a fake. He was the real Hayden Schwartz. And the woman with him… was likely his wife. Which meant his son had tried to harass the mother of Shanley.

Dear God! How could his worthless son have caused such a catastrophe? Not even the entire Garner family combined could afford to pay this price.

Victor’s world went dark. With a loud thud, he collapsed to his knees before Hayden. “I was blind… I failed to recognize you. Please, forgive my ignorance this once.”
