Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1652

“Tell me.”

Monique furrowed her brows, her tone laced with displeasure. “What, is she too shameful to bring out in public?”

The thought struck her.

Monique’s eyes widened in sudden horror, voicing her worst fear. “Don’t tell me the woman you’ve fallen for is already married?”

Kurt closed his eyes for a second, taking a deep breath. “Your son isn’t entirely devoid of morals.”

“Then who is she?” Monique’s expression turned dead serious. “Look, I’m not entirely against you choosing who you date, but I absolutely will not accept some trashy girl.”

“Hahaha…”

Hearing his mother’s words, Kurt couldn’t hold back. He burst out laughing.

“?”

The maids standing nearby exchanged utterly bewildered looks.

“What’s so funny?” Monique blinked. Was what she said really that hilarious?

“Mom, seriously, who gave you the confidence to think your son is some irresistible catch that women are lining up for?” Kurt shook his head in disbelief, enunciating every word. “If I hadn’t been born into the Schwartz family, a guy like me probably wouldn’t even be able to get a wife.”

“?”

Monique’s breath hitched.

“Worrying about some ‘trashy girl’.” Kurt scoffed, already walking toward the door. “Have you looked at your own son lately? Look in the mirror at what you raised.”

“You—you…” Watching his carefree, retreating back, Monique almost passed out from anger. “Are those even words a human being should say?”

“Uh.”

The nearby maid, too terrified to speak up, offered a meek little nod.

They were human words, sure, but Mr. Schwartz was definitely acting like a complete menace.

“No, I need to hire someone to look into this. I need to know exactly who he’s hooked on.”

Monique paced around anxiously before pulling out her phone to contact a private investigator.

Then she called Ms. Ainsworth to explain away Kurt’s absence.

Annie Ainsworth was incredibly understanding, her voice sweet and syrupy on the line. “It’s completely fine, Monique. I’m back in the country for good anyway. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet.”

“You are such an understanding girl.” Monique smiled, her fondness for the young heiress growing even more. “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I’ll make sure this works out.”

However—

Her most urgent priority was tracking down whatever seductress had stolen Kurt’s soul.
