Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1786

Ebony Fox tried to push the intruder away, but her hands felt pinned; no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.

"My little fox..."

Kurt's voice brushed against her ear, enchanting and bewitching like a siren's song.

Ebony Fox fought for a couple more seconds before all resistance left her body.

Watching the man's lips draw closer, her heart rate accelerated.

Thump, thump, thump—

It beat so heavily, it felt like it was going to leap right out of her chest.

The next second.

Her eyes flew open to the dead of night. She found herself completely alone in the dark.

The space beside her was empty; there was no sign of a certain someone.

Ebony Fox froze for two seconds before realization dawned on her.

She had been dreaming.

And it was such an utterly ridiculous dream, too.

It had to be because of the nonsense Kurt was spouting earlier.

"Sigh."

Ebony Fox grabbed the glass of cold water from the nightstand and took two huge gulps.

Only then did her irritation subside slightly.

She fell back onto the bed, staring up at the stark white ceiling, experiencing the true meaning of "missing someone" for the very first time.

She suddenly really wanted Kurt to come back sooner.

—

The Ainsworth Residence.

Amos sat on the couch, his face still ashen from the anger Juniper had triggered.

Mr. Ainsworth and Mrs. Ainsworth sat nearby, one looking grave and the other red-eyed from crying.

The three of them looked completely defeated, each more miserable than the last.

The household staff stood silently by the doorway.

No one dared to make a sound.

Just then.

"Then what do we do?"

Annie's expression shifted slightly as she began to yell, "You don't seriously expect me to go to jail, do you?"

"I'm not going to prison. I'd rather die."

"Annie, don't get worked up." Mrs. Ainsworth hurriedly tried to soothe her daughter. "Mom won't let anything happen to you."

"That bitch Ebony Fox, how dare she do this to me." Annie threw a full-blown tantrum. "Once I get through this, I'll find someone to kill her."

"Shut your mouth!"

Hearing this, Amos snapped his head up and roared furiously. "Kill Ebony Fox? Who do you think you are?"

"The attitude of Kent and Hannah clearly shows they already consider Ebony Fox family," Amos said coldly. "She's Kurt's girlfriend right now, and who knows when she'll become his wife."

"The future second daughter-in-law of the Schwartz family—did you think you could touch her just because you want to?"

The Schwartz family had already been polite enough today.

If things kept going like this...

There was no telling what they might do.

"Go back to your room and reflect on what you've done. You're not allowed to go anywhere."
