Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1876

A weakness?

The steward thought carefully. Growing up, the only person Channing had ever cared about was his grandfather.

Other than that.

His attitude toward absolutely everything else could only be described as completely indifferent.

Finding a weakness to exploit would be harder than reaching the stars.

"How are things on Zachary's end?" Conrad shifted the topic.

Whenever his eldest son was mentioned, his demeanor visibly softened.

"He's currently stationed at the suburban villa, surrounded by around-the-clock care and security. There shouldn't be any issues for now."

After finishing his report, the steward hesitated before adding, "However, he's complaining that the villa is boring and keeps yelling about wanting to go out for some fresh air."

"What kind of fresh air does he need at a crucial time like this?" Conrad scowled. "If he runs into Channing, he'll be skinned alive."

If they kept him hidden until the birthday banquet, Channing probably wouldn't dare pull anything crazy.

"Even if Zachary made mistakes in the past, he's still a member of this family. My father won't let Channing do whatever he pleases."

"Yes, sir."

The steward wiped another drop of cold sweat from his temple, swallowing the words that were right on the tip of his tongue.

Won't let him?

Back then, when the eldest son's little assassination plot completely backfired, he was nearly butchered by Channing.

When the two returned home, the old master had actually added a few more injuries to Zachary himself (nearly beating him to death).

Conrad had clearly forgotten how desperately he had to beg on his knees just to get his father to spare the boy's life.

Not to speak out of turn, but...

Zachary really had gone too far and was completely useless.

If he was actually made governor, he'd destroy the entirety of Caelus.

And as for Conrad, he needed to get a grip too.

When was he finally going to realize that the root of all these problems was his precious eldest son?

What exactly had Channing done wrong?

Sigh.

He had watched the years of chaos unfold with his own eyes.

And honestly, it was getting harder and harder to stomach.

——

Back at the bar.

Coralie woke up groggily in the middle of the night.
