Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1895

Letting her boss him around, make demands, and even hit and yell at him.

And the craziest part?

The Governor wasn't just completely unbothered by it—he seemed thrilled.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

Was this really the same ruthless Governor he knew?

"Must be nice."

Zachary stared fixatedly at the two of them, the smile not reaching his eyes. "Growing up, I, the older brother, always got first pick of the good things. I didn't expect that going abroad for a few years would let him feast like this."

Thinking about the miserable life he had lived all these years...

Zachary's resentment only burned hotter.

Coralie Quill...

He had just run a background check on her. She was an absolute masterpiece.

The sexy ones were never this cute, and the cute ones were never this sexy.

How did Channing get so lucky to stumble upon her?

And it was obvious Channing was obsessed with her.

The title of Governor was his, and he had a gorgeous woman by his side...

Why should he get to have all the good things?

A jinx like Channing didn't deserve anything good.

"What did you find out about Coralie Quill?" Zachary asked coldly. "Does she have powerful backers?"

"We looked into it," the subordinate replied respectfully. "Coralie grew up in an orphanage. She inherited Westshore Casino through pure luck. There's no major syndicate backing her."

"However, for years, someone has been secretly pulling strings to protect her."

"We still haven't been able to uncover who that person is."

"You don't know?"

Zachary lit a cigarette, holding it between his fingers and taking a long drag. "The men in Caelus lining up for her stretch around the block. If Channing wasn't guarding her, she would have been chewed up and spit out a long time ago."

Forget the others; even he wanted a taste.

She was unbelievable.

"What's your plan, sir?" the subordinate asked cautiously.

"In the past, Channing had no weaknesses. If you pushed him, he'd go scorched earth. I obviously couldn't beat him like that."

Zachary's lips curled into a sinister, twisted smile. "But now, I think I've found his ultimate weakness."

Even the greatest heroes have fallen for a beautiful woman.
