Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 446

Orville listened intently, his eyes darting back and forth.

“My guess is…” Juniper’s lips curved into a lazy smile. “She has something that Trent wants.”

Orville stared at her, trying to speak, but found he couldn’t form a single word.

“And what could that be?” Juniper blinked, then stood up, her hands in her pockets. She looked down at him from her full height.

“Your will,” she said slowly, her voice leisurely but firm. It wasn't a question; it was a statement. Trent wouldn't be making a move unless Orville had left a significant inheritance to Janet.

Tears welled up in Orville’s eyes. So, she’d hit the nail on the head.

“The truth is, you’ve known all along that Zorion was framed.” Juniper had no patience for his display of grief, and her every word was a dagger to his heart. “But when it came to a choice between your son and the family’s prosperity, you chose the family.”

“You forced him into an arranged marriage, forced him to leave the woman he loved, and even forced him to declare his own daughter illegitimate to the world…”

Juniper let out a cold laugh.

“But you didn’t expect Zorion to be a real man. He was willing to give up a fortune for his wife and daughter.”
