Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 2014

"Governor!"

The patrons, previously happily engaged in their games, abruptly stood up from their seats.

Greetings echoed one after another across the floor.

The last time they saw Channing, he was just some insignificant boy toy.

Anyone could give him attitude.

Now that he had transformed into the 'Governor,' those who had previously offended him were trembling in their boots.

"Governor, what brings you here today?"

There were even a few bold ones who stepped up to try and curry favor, offering obsequious smiles:

"You remember me, right? We chatted right here in the casino before."

"Did we?"

Channing lifted his eyes slightly, his expression lazy and cold. "I seem to remember you slipping while sitting in your chair. I went to help you up, and you shoved me away and cursed at me."

"That..."

The man's face instantly flushed the color of a bruised plum. He muttered awkwardly, "Governor, you must be remembering wrong, I..."

"Should we check the security footage?" Channing smirked, his expression as chillingly indifferent as ever.

The casino's security cameras were high-end. The footage was stored for two or three years.

"N-No, that won't be necessary." The man slinked back into the corner, utterly humiliated.

Damn it all, why did he have to go and act like a show-off?

Great. Now the Governor actually remembered him.

Was he going to hire someone to secretly assassinate him?!

Seeing the man gain absolutely nothing, the others smartly refrained from stepping forward.

"Governor, Ms. Quill is here!"

Jude, following close behind, offered a soft reminder.

Channing looked up and saw Coralie standing at the corner of the room.

Today, she wore a light green maxi dress that perfectly concealed her pregnancy bump.

She had a soft, fuzzy cardigan draped over her shoulders, and her hair was braided and draped naturally over her left shoulder.

Bathed in the warm glow of the lights, she seemed to radiate a gentle, luminous aura.

"Mhm."
