Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 2017

Coralie felt a wave of clarity. In that questionable household of his, at least he still had one source of warmth to keep him company.

"Coralie, do you want some too?" Seeing Coralie staring at him, Alaric asked in confusion. "Eat as much as you like."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Coralie pushed the rest of the fried chicken toward him with a smile. "These are all yours. Take your time."

"Wonderful, wonderful."

Alaric chuckled. He picked up another drumstick and pointed it at Channing. "Coralie is the one who told me to eat this. You have no right to interfere."

"Alright."

Channing leaned back in his chair, smiling lazily. "Since my girl gave the order, how could I possibly object?"

Coralie's cheeks burned.

Were their conversations always this unhinged?

"Open the box and see what good stuff Grandpa gave you."

Channing tilted his chin, gesturing for Coralie to open it.

"Mhm."

Coralie carefully opened the box, only to find a thin sheet of paper inside.

Unfolding the paper, she realized it was the Property Transfer Deed.

Transferor: Alaric Rhodes.

Beneficiary: Coralie Quill.

The transferred assets included, but were not limited to, real estate, bank deposits, funds, and stocks.

Coralie scanned down, and the detailed list of assets was incredibly dense.

"Grandpa, this is..." Coralie looked up at the old man, her expression grave. "This is far too valuable. I can't accept it."

Grandpa had literally just gifted her every single asset to his name.

That was the reality.

Her name was the only one on the transfer document—even his own flesh-and-blood grandson, Channing, wasn't listed.

"Take it." Having finished his fried chicken, Alaric elegantly wiped his fingers, his smile warm and gentle. "This brat Channing has always had a terrible temper since he was a kid. It's a miracle you can put up with him."
