Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 444

Jolene was a sharp blade that had yet to be fully wielded. Because of Juniper, she had broken her leg and missed the university entrance exams, effectively ruining her life. Her hatred for Juniper must be immense. Now was the perfect time to add fuel to the fire.

“Cowards,” Qadir muttered angrily as he watched them leave. “Janet, how can someone like Yelena come from the same family as you?”

Janet bit her lip. “I’m not a Wilcox,” she answered quietly. She never was, and she had no desire to be.

Just then, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, her brow furrowed and her expression soured. After a few seconds, she answered, her voice cold. “Hello?”

“Janet, are you free? Let’s grab dinner sometime,” said the caller, Trent Wilcox, Yelena’s brother.

“I’m not.” Janet’s tone was distant as she flatly refused. “Mr. Wilcox, if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

With that, she ended the call, turned off her phone, and grumbled, “He’s nuts. Why does he keep asking me out lately?”

“He keeps asking you out?” Juniper picked up on the key detail, her eyes narrowing slightly.

“Yeah,” Janet nodded, explaining softly, “It’s so weird, like he wants something from me.”

But besides her mother, she had nothing. The Wilcox family was like a persistent shadow she couldn't shake.
