Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1539

If they really got down to brass tacks, Shanley technically owed him the respect of calling him "Godfather."

If the Sherwin family could actually secure a connection like this, they would be utterly untouchable in Eclara City.

"That makes sense."

Shanley rested his arm on the back of the sofa, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his magnetic voice low. "Such a trivial matter... I used to be able to make that call."

"Used to?"

Malcolm's lips twitched, completely lost.

"Yes, Boss." Flint instantly stopped laughing, his face falling as he headed downstairs.

Felton pinched himself hard, using the pain to stay perfectly composed.

"Mr. Schwartz, you..."
