Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 2002

After Channing left, the living room fell dead silent.

"That ungrateful bastard!" Conrad leaned against the table, trying to steady his breathing.

"Don't be angry, Father," Zachary consoled him. "Channing has always been like this. He only cares about his own pleasure, completely ignoring the family's rise or fall."

"The election is in three months. If the Governor makes a massive mistake, he'll be forced to step down."

"But what massive mistake has he made?" Conrad rubbed his throbbing temples.

Since Channing took office, Caelus had made tremendous progress economically and politically. Even if he was completely devoted to Coralie, he hadn't slacked off at work in the slightest.

He was so ruthless in his methods that he had offended plenty of people internally. There was no shortage of enemies wanting to drag him down.

Yet three years had passed, and he was still sitting securely in the Governor's seat.

No one could find a single flaw.

Even regarding this recent scandal that had blown up everywhere...

If you thought about it carefully, they were both single. They hadn't wrecked anyone else's marriage or violated any actual laws.

At most, it was just a bit of kinky roleplay between a couple.

Strictly speaking, Channing hadn't done anything wrong.

"Just because he hasn't made one now doesn't mean he won't in the future."

Zachary replied calmly, a confident smile on his face. "Someone as arrogant as Channing is bound to slip up."

Conrad slowly turned his head, his gaze landing on his eldest son, his eyes growing deep and unreadable. "What are you planning?"

"Father, since Channing took power these past few years, your life hasn't exactly been easy, has it?"

Zachary didn't answer directly, instead speaking casually. "Once he fully solidifies his footing, do you really think you'll be able to control him at all?"

Conrad's brows furrowed tightly as he fell into a long silence.

Channing had never received an ounce of fatherly love from him. One day, he might just decide to kill Conrad outright.

Let alone the future—even right now, he was utterly helpless against Channing.
