Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1393

She had asked Megan to handle this in advance.

If Yvonne didn't agree, the kid would still have to go back.

"Miss." As soon as the call connected, Megan's voice came through. "I went to the Bureau of Investigation. Yvonne..."

"What about her?" Luella glanced sideways at Jared, instinctively lowering her voice.

"Yvonne said she doesn't care what happens to Jared," Megan sighed, her tone full of pity. "She and Esme are facing very long sentences. They couldn't care for him even if they wanted to. Besides, Jared has no use to her anymore."

Megan had been with the Executive Residence for a long time.

She knew exactly how toxic the environment inside had been over the years.

There was no normal parent-child relationship to speak of.

Driven by her obsession with the Executive Chief position, Yvonne had been ruthlessly strict with Jared. She beat and scolded him constantly, never treating him like a real son.

There was one time...

She forced Jared to kneel in the blazing ninety-degree heat just to "learn discipline." The sun had been scorching hot.

If Luella hadn't intervened, the boy would have lost his life.

And Yvonne had only criticized Luella in return, accusing her of deliberately spoiling him.

"What about Esme? Doesn't she care either?" Luella pressed.

"Esme has taken a severe mental hit," Megan replied. "Her psychological state isn't great."

Understood.

Luella continued, "Have Yvonne sign a statement relinquishing her guardianship. I'll be raising Jared from now on!"

"Miss, it's already done. The lawyers will contact you shortly," Megan assured her.

Yvonne couldn't even save herself; she had zero interest in worrying about her son or daughter.

No wonder Esme had suffered a mental breakdown.

Luella smirked. "Thanks for your hard work."

"Is Jared doing alright?" Megan asked.

Luella glanced at the dejected little boy sitting with his head bowed. "He'll be fine," she replied evenly.

"Then I can rest easy."

Megan let out a soft sigh, followed by a relieved smile.
