Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1881

Channing kept one hand in his pocket, staring at him expressionlessly before slowly speaking up. "Still alive? What a disappointment."

Zachary's expression shifted, but he quickly masked it, gritting his teeth. "Not killing me back then was definitely your biggest mistake."

"Is that so?"

Channing raised an eyebrow, a cold smirk playing on his lips. "If you have a death wish, just say the word. I'm more than happy to oblige."

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Zachary laughed, a twisted, arrogant sound. "The one controlling the board now isn't you. It's me."

Watching him spout nonsense, Channing figured the years abroad had completely driven him insane.

"Just wait and see."

Unwilling to let the man pollute his sight any longer, Channing withdrew his gaze and turned away without hesitation.

"Channing—"

Seeing him so unbothered enraged Zachary. He glared at his retreating back and snarled, "Just you wait. I will never be the loser here."

He would make Channing pay for this crippled leg sooner or later.

And Coralie...

With such a massive trump card in his hand, he had to be patient and keep it hidden.

At the critical moment, one strike would be all it took.

In the main hall.

The old man was scolding his unfilial son, Conrad.

"Zachary has turned over a new leaf. He won't cause any more trouble."

Conrad looked grim under his father's blistering reprimand. "Rest assured, I will discipline him strictly now that he's back."

"Oh, so now you want to lock the barn door after the horse has bolted?" the old man shot back mercilessly. "Don't you think it's a little late for discipline?"

Just then, the steward rushed over, looking anxious. "Mr. Zachary and Channing ran into each other in the backyard."

"What?"

Conrad's face paled, and he immediately demanded, "Did Channing do anything? Is Zachary alright?"

With his crippled leg, Zachary stood even less of a chance against him now.

The old man rolled his eyes hard at his son's reaction.

Anyone would think Channing had been adopted off the streets.

"Sir..."
