Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1338

Stellara Country.

Luella worked straight through until 10 PM, finally compiling all of Lachlan Langley's crimes.

He had sat in the Executive Chief's seat for over thirty years.

Back during his first election.

There had been another candidate who surpassed him in every way—both in qualifications and character.

The public support for the other guy had been overwhelming.

But mysteriously, the night before the election, that candidate died in a sudden car accident.

And conveniently, all the surveillance cameras around the crash site were broken.

It was too much of a coincidence.

To climb the ranks, Lachlan had done absolutely anything.

For example: to elevate his social standing, he had ruthlessly pursued a “university professor”—Luella's mother.

Once married, he completely neglected her.

If Luella hadn't been born, her mother probably would have given up long ago.

Then there were the numerous...

Arrested colleagues, the wrongfully accused subordinates...

Lachlan had so much blood on his hands, it was impossible to count.

He was now at the very top, holding immense power. Dragging him down would be no easy feat.

“Phew—”

Luella closed her laptop, leaning back exhaustedly as she stared blankly at the ceiling.

It should be around 3 AM in Eclara City right now.

Jimmie was definitely asleep.

Thinking about it.

Luella couldn't resist pulling out her phone and sending him a text:

[The sun is huge in Stellara Country today. Speaking of huge, how is your...]

Message sent.

Realizing how wildly inappropriate that sounded, Luella frantically hit unsend.

It's so late, Jimmie probably didn't see it, right?

*Buzz, buzz—*

The very next second, her phone vibrated. Jimmie's message popped up: [?]

Luella: [?]

3 AM, and he replied instantly.

What a night owl.

Jimmie: [Practice is the only standard for testing truth. You should already know the answer regarding size.]

Luella was just making a stupid joke!

Luella: [Why aren't you asleep yet?]

Jimmie: [Waiting for you to text me.]
