Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1938

"You're back."

Seeing Channing, the amicable smile vanished from Conrad's face, his expression and tone shifting into something cold and stern.

Zachary sat in his chair, crossing his legs, completely devoid of the fear he used to harbor toward his younger brother.

With Channing's weakness in the palm of his hand, what did he have to fear?

If Channing was so tough, he should just hide Coralie away.

Wait.

Judging by the current situation, Coralie probably didn't even know her precious boy toy was the boss of Caelus, right?

Rumor had it she was a woman who loved and hated fiercely, despising deception above all else.

If she found out his true identity, how would she react?

"Where is Grandfather?"

Channing shrugged off his coat, tossing it to a maid without so much as a glance at the father and son.

"The old master went to visit a friend. He won't be home today," the maid answered respectfully.

Channing's fingers stiffened. He immediately grabbed his coat back, his tone icy. "Tell him I'll come back another day."

"Hold on."

Seeing him turn to leave, Zachary shot to his feet, glaring at him maliciously. "Don't tell me you forgot tomorrow is Mother's death anniversary?"

"Is it?"

Channing paused, a cruel smirk curling on his thin lips. "And? Expecting me to burn incense and paper money for her?"

"Channing!"

Mentioning their mother fueled Zachary's rage and hatred. He lunged forward, glaring viciously. "Don't forget who she died for."

"Wasn't it you?"

Channing stood with his hands in his pockets, exuding a chilling aloofness. His voice was freezing. "She was hit by a car while going to buy a cake for you."

Zachary's face paled, but he quickly redirected his anger. "If it wasn't for your birth, why would Mother and Father's relationship have fallen apart? It's all because you're a jinx!"
