Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1823

"Actually, you know what? I am terrified." Coralie stood up, flashing a sweet smile. "Your whole family is a pack of foxes. Shanley is the old fox, and you're the little one."

"You got that right."

Kurt grabbed Ebony Fox's hand, boasting proudly, "Foxes belong with foxes, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Ebony Fox shot him a look, standing up to walk Coralie to the door. "If the casino isn't too busy, you should move back."

Her parents, siblings, and friends were all in Eclara City.

She was a single woman living alone in Caelus. It was isolating.

Her parents worried about her constantly.

Even Juniper and the others would fly out to visit her whenever they had the time.

"The casino is packed. I can't leave." Coralie sighed helplessly, picking up her bag.

"What about Channing?" Ebony Fox pressed. "Isn't he your bodyguard and assistant? I heard he manages the casino incredibly well."

"He's my assistant for now, but he won't be for much longer."

Coralie flipped her hair, her laugh completely detached. "Your girl has her eyes on a new prize."

"Once I hook him, there won't be any room left for Channing."

In the past, the pretty boys she kept around were fiercely obedient, always trying to outdo one another to please her.

Channing was the sole exception.

Just because he'd managed to climb into her bed, he pushed his luck. He started managing her casino, and now he was trying to manage her.

Heh.

The only person in this world who had the right to manage her was already dead.

Thinking of that elegant, endlessly sunny youth...

Coralie felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her chest.

"Alright, then."

Coralie hid it perfectly, her smile brilliant. "I have to get back and take care of some things. You two definitely didn't get enough sleep last night, so go catch up on it."

"Oh, and I meant what I said earlier. The second this little fox treats you badly, kick him to the curb."

"I may not have much, but I've got a never-ending supply of pretty boys waiting in the wings."
