Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1832

Witness some true idiots?

The scarred man's mind buzzed. Was this broad mocking him?

And...

Wasn't she supposed to be proving something? Why turn off the lights?

The scarred man assumed Coralie couldn't produce any evidence and was just putting on a dramatic act.

In the darkness.

Coralie turned her phone's flashlight up to its maximum brightness.

Then, she aimed it squarely at the playing card on the table—

Under the glare of the light, the faint outline of a lily of the valley gradually emerged right in the center of the card.

The longer the light hit it, the clearer the pattern became.

"They really did add a security watermark!"

The onlookers leaned in, whispering among themselves.

They were all regulars at Westshore Casino, so they naturally understood how these things worked.

They had definitely never seen this "lily of the valley" security pattern before.

Coralie didn't explain. She simply shifted the light to the other cards.

Slowly...

The backs of all the cards on the table revealed a glowing pinkish-purple lily of the valley.

"?"

The scarred man stared blankly at the flowers on the cards, momentarily lost.

The deck he had brought definitely didn't have any random flowers on it.

How the hell did the counterfeiters miss this?!

"Ms. Quill..."

Just as the scarred man tried to make excuses, he heard Coralie speak again. "You're probably thinking I rigged this, right?"

"After all, this is a private room. It's easy enough to pull a fast one in here."

"?"

The scarred man choked, looking completely humiliated.

She was using his exact excuses.

"Then let's go out to the main floor and take a look." At Coralie's command, the lights in the VIP room flickered back on.

Coralie tossed the phone to Channing and turned to walk out.

The scarred man frowned and immediately followed.

He was walking too close, almost brushing shoulders with Coralie.

Channing stepped out to block him, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Back off."
