Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1939

Not only were the bystanders terrified, but even the usually fearless Zachary displayed a hint of dread.

It brought back memories of that kidnapping, where Channing had nearly slaughtered him in retaliation.

It was blood-curdling.

Also.

What did the Governor and Zachary mean just now?

A woman he held dear?

What did "dare you to try" mean?

Who was she?

Could she be the Governor's girlfriend?

Wasn't he incapable of... that?

No one in the room dared to breathe, all watching Channing cautiously, terrified he would do something drastic in a fit of rage.

"The old master has returned."

As the standoff reached a boiling point, Alaric strode in from outside, his expression severe. "What are you all fighting about now?"

"It's a misunderstanding."

Conrad quickly pulled Zachary to his side, letting out a breath of relief. "Channing, stay and chat with your grandfather. I have some matters to attend to."

With that.

He made a quick exit, dragging Zachary along with him.

Zachary was furious, but the current atmosphere truly wasn't suitable for provoking Channing any further.

When this lunatic snapped, he completely lost all rationality.

Alaric sighed, stepping up to Channing and speaking softly, "Come on, walk with your granddad for a bit."

"Alright."

Meeting the old man's concerned gaze, Channing retracted his razor-sharp edge and nodded slightly.

——

Meanwhile.

Back in his room, a doctor applied ointment to Zachary's bruised neck.

Conrad sat opposite him, asking in a hushed tone, "What weakness were you talking about? Why did Channing react so violently?"

Zachary scowled, his eyes burning with hatred as he gritted his teeth. "Channing is keeping a woman on the outside!"

"A woman?"
