Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 451

“You’re right,” Trent said, leaning back in his chair, his face a mask of grim determination. “We can’t find the miracle doctor, and Grandpa doesn’t have much time left.”

There were two conditions for the will to take effect: Orville’s death, or Janet turning eighteen. “Janet and that woman have no connections,” Ezra stated coldly. “They should be easy to handle. Just make sure it’s clean. Leave no trace.”

“Understood.”

Trent nodded and stood to leave, but Ezra’s voice stopped him.

“Wait.”

Trent paused and looked back at his father.

“I hear that woman has a niece…” Ezra began. “Her brother is a famous movie star. While he’s just an actor, he has some influence. Don’t provoke her.”

The priority was to deal with Janet and secure the inheritance. There was no need to stir up other trouble.

Saskia’s niece? The image of a beautiful, feisty girl flashed in Trent’s mind. She did seem fierce and unapproachable. But still, she was just a teenager. What was there to be afraid of?

“I know,” Trent replied before striding out of the room, already on the phone. “Find someone reliable. I need you to take care of something for me.”

On the other side of the city, Juniper was treating Janet to dessert at Moonlight Peak.

Since Juniper had told her that the point of this outing was to get someone to “try and kill them,” Janet’s hands hadn’t stopped trembling. Even though she knew they were protected, she was terrified, expecting a killer to jump out from behind a corner at any moment.

Juniper, on the other hand, was the picture of calm. A pile of empty plates sat in front of her, and she looked to be in an exceptionally good mood.
