Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1941

"I will!"

"Does Zachary Rhodes know about this?" The old man frowned, his voice dropping into a grave timber. "Send men to protect her. If necessary, get her out of Caelus."

He knew his eldest grandson too well. Once he got ruthless...

He was capable of any despicable act.

"Don't worry, I'll protect her," Channing replied, his tone more serious than ever before.

He would protect them. Both of them!

——

At Westshore Casino.

Channing picked her up from the villa early, just as instructed.

Breakfast was ready in the car, featuring all of Coralie's favorites.

"Thanks."

Coralie took a bite, her brows relaxing in satisfaction. "You're a fast learner, Odom."

He had captured at least eighty percent of Channing's magic touch!

"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Quill. There's always room for improvement."

Channing's lips curled into a faint smile, the warmth reaching all the way to his eyes.

Half an hour later.

Coralie took the private elevator to the top floor.

Odom managed the casino so flawlessly that Coralie barely had to lift a finger.

Stamp a document, sign her name, then lounge on the sofa scrolling through her phone.

Lunch, afternoon pastries, dinner.

She was being constantly fed like a spoiled little piglet.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Perhaps due to Channing's meticulous training, Coralie transitioned from being wary of Odom to getting completely used to having him around.

The only issue was—

It had been half a month, and Channing seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth.

Even her private investigators couldn't find a single trace of him.

If this kept up, she would have to ask the people at Subterra Vanguard to step in.

Even though they had parted ways, Channing was a genuinely good man.

She was truly terrified that something bad had happened to him.

"What's on your mind, Ms. Quill?" Odom brought over a glass of warm milk, his voice gentle. "I added a dash of vanilla and honey. It tastes quite nice."
