Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1873

Channing hadn't bothered to hide it either.

When he had someone relay the message, he deliberately made sure his name was attached.

His core reasoning was that Coralie was a casino boss.

She had a lot of eyes on her.

Recently, she had stirred up quite a bit of trouble, and he was worried someone might target her in such a chaotic environment.

The main reason for the tip-off was actually to secure protection for her.

"And to think he wants to make things official with her. He's not getting past me."

Tired from her rant, Juniper leaned against his chest and yawned. "Let's go home. It's way too loud here."

If she wasn't keeping Coralie company, she wouldn't have bothered showing up at all.

What was so great about those long legs and chiseled torsos anyway?

She had that right at home!

And the 'quality' was vastly superior to anything outside!

"Alright."

Shanley held his little wife tightly, his voice deep as he ordered, "Drive steady."

"Yes, sir."

Flint replied, exchanging a glance with Felton.

Wasn't the boss supposed to be asserting his dominance as a husband?

A few sweet words from his wife, and he was already floating on cloud nine?

Felton: *Is this your first day with him?*

*He loves his wife so much he'd probably take her last name if he could.*

In Caelus.

The Prefecture.

Channing stood on the balcony, listening to the report from his subordinates in Eclara City.

"Ms. Payne was picked up by Mr. Schwartz, and they left people behind to protect Ms. Quill."

"Good." Channing's lips curved slightly. Shanley was reliable, after all.

"Keep your distance. Don't let her spot you. If anything seems off, let me know immediately."

After making things clear, he hung up and stared blankly at the photo on his screen.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, followed by a man's voice. "Sir, are you there?"

He opened the door, his gaze landing coldly on Conrad's steward. "What is it?"

"S-Sir." The steward swallowed hard in fear, speaking cautiously. "Your father heard you were back and wishes to see you."
