Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 458

On the other side of the city, Ezra and Trent were also preparing to make their move on Janet. The doctor had said Orville’s condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse; he only had a few days left.

Before taking action, Ezra and Trent paid a visit to the hospital. Orville lay in bed, hooked up to various tubes, his eyes weakly fixed on his son.

“Where is the will?” Ezra demanded coldly. “You always favored my older brother, and now that he’s dead, you’re secretly leaving his daughter your fortune.”

Orville couldn’t speak, but tears of regret streamed from his eyes. Why was he leaving everything to Janet? Ezra really had no idea?

For years, Orville had believed that his eldest son, Zorion, had betrayed the family for a woman. In a fit of rage, he had cast him out. Not long after, Zorion died in a car accident.

Over the years, Orville had his suspicions about the accident. It wasn't until recently that he overheard his second son, Ezra, talking. Only then did he learn the truth. Ezra had arranged the car accident that killed Ms. Miller’s boyfriend. He had also orchestrated Zorion’s fatal crash. It was all a plot to seize control of the Wilcox family.

That was why, while he was still lucid, he had secretly written a will leaving two-thirds of his fortune to Janet. He never imagined that not only Juniper and Janet would find out, but now his ruthless son knew as well.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me,” Ezra sneered. “Whether or not Janet can claim your inheritance is another story.”

Hearing this, Orville’s lifeless eyes widened in horror. What was Ezra planning to do to Janet? Harm her?

He remembered the girl’s threat. If he wasn’t mistaken, she knew Ezra was planning to make a move. This was all a trap she’d set, waiting for Ezra to walk right into it and become a murderer...

This crime would be enough to destroy both him and the Wilcox family. Although he was furious with Ezra for what he’d done to his brother, which had driven a wedge between them, Ezra was still his son. He couldn’t just stand by and watch him be ruined.

Orville tried to stop him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make a sound. He could only watch helplessly as Ezra left.

The door clicked shut, and Orville closed his eyes in defeat. This was a fate he couldn’t escape.
