Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1765

Ebony Fox said.

“Really?” Wayne was so overwhelmed he looked like he was about to drop to his knees again.

Polly quickly grabbed his arm to hold him up, rushing him impatiently, “Hurry up and go, time is ticking at the hospital. You'll have plenty of chances to make amends later.”

“Okay, okay, I'm going.”

Wayne nodded vigorously, his voice ringing with absolute certainty, “I will never, ever forget what you've done for me, Ebony Fox.”

He'd work himself to the bone for the rest of his life...

No.

He'd work for her in his next life too, just to repay this debt.

After Wayne left.

Polly returned to Ebony Fox's side, shooting her a massive thumbs-up. “Boss, you were incredible!”

If Polly had been framed like that, she would have crumbled completely.

“Remember, fear is completely useless,” Ebony Fox ruffled Polly's hair with a gentle smile. “Face your problems head-on. As long as your conscience is clear, you have absolutely nothing to be afraid of.”

“I'll remember that.”

Polly nodded, looking like she somewhat understood. “Boss, I feel so dangerously strong right now.”

If anyone dared mess with her today, she was ready to throw hands.

Ebony Fox: “You'd better actually mean that.”

Back at the villa.

Juniper Payne and her family finished watching the livestream, glancing at one another in stunned silence.

“She's pretty ruthless,” Melvin Steele chuckled, raising an eyebrow. “With that kind of mind and those tactics, I almost feel bad for Kurt.”

If Ebony Fox ever decided to toy with him, she'd probably destroy him.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Theia slapped his arm and shot him a warning look, silently signaling: *Shanley is right here.*

Even if Shanley Schwartz was at the bottom of the food chain in this house, Kurt was still his younger brother.

They needed to show him at least a little respect.

“As long as she's okay,” Silas Blackwood sighed softly. “But she just went to war with the Ainsworth family. Handling the fallout might get a bit messy.”

“Coralie.”

Theia frowned helplessly and patted her hand. “Never mind other people. Have you sorted out your own mess yet?”

“What mess?”

Coralie furrowed her brow and mumbled, “We were just talking about Ebony Fox. Why are you bringing me into this?”

“What is going on with that boyfriend of yours?” Theia pressed.

“What boyfriend?” Coralie turned her head away, avoiding a direct answer. “We aren't like that.”

“Then what are you?” Theia had no idea her daughter was keeping a pretty boy on a leash; she assumed they were just dating. “It seems like you two are constantly together.”

The last time he showed up downstairs, whatever he said earned him a slap to the face from Coralie.

But the kid hadn't even been mad. Instead, he smiled like he actually enjoyed it.

*Sigh.*

She really was getting old.

She just didn't understand kids these days. Was getting smacked around part of modern romance?
