Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1837

After the original boss passed away, she naturally took over the entire casino.

At the time, many were furious and secretly tried to have her killed.

Rumor had it that the Governor of Caelus had privately put out the word to back her up.

Otherwise, a young woman like her would have ended up dead in a ditch long ago.

What a shame.

No one had ever actually seen this so-called Governor of Caelus, otherwise, he would have tried to curry favor with him too.

...

The door opened.

The man glanced up. The moment his eyes fell on the woman's stunning face and exquisite figure, the corners of his mouth twitched into an uncontrollable smirk.

"Long time no see, Ms. Quill."

They didn't call Coralie the ultimate beauty of Caelus for nothing.

He had been obsessing over her for years but had never managed to get his hands on her.

Instead, some lapdog she kept had beaten him to the punch.

Still, with looks like hers, even if some stray had taken a bite, he'd willingly settle for the leftovers.

"It really has been a while, Mr. Rocco." Coralie completely ignored his outstretched hand, flashing a completely hollow smile. "There were rumors going around recently that you got hit by a car and died while doing something shady."

"But here you are, alive and kicking. I wonder who started that rumor."

What an absolute tragedy.

Why did it have to be fake? It would have been so wonderful if it were true!

Rocco's smile vanished. Clenching his jaw, he said coldly, "I heard Ms. Quill is detaining some of my men?"

"Mhm."

Coralie walked over and sat down opposite him. Channing immediately draped a shawl over her shoulders and stood ramrod straight by her side.

"Mr. Rocco, smoking is prohibited in this room. Please put it out."

"Heh."

Rocco shot him a disdainful glare, mocking him for relying on someone else's power. "Since when does a bodyguard get a say at Westshore Casino?"
