Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1969

Coralie's voice was filled with excitement, completely certain. "Looking at everyone out there, you're the only ones capable of pulling that off."

Not only snatching such a colossal amount of money, but walking away completely unscathed.

"We rushed over to Caelus this time and forgot to bring a gift. Consider this making up for it."

Juniper sat in the airport's VIP lounge, a bright smile on her red lips. "Besides, we didn't snatch it. I worked very hard to earn that money."

"That's amazing." When talking to Juniper, Coralie's tone naturally softened affectionately. "You didn't run into any trouble on the way out, did you?"

"Nope. Just drove a little fast, that's all!"

Coralie patted her forehead, her voice going soft. "You really didn't have to get revenge for me. I never considered Rocco a real threat anyway. He could never actually bully me."

"Revenge is one thing, but making a profit is another," Juniper chuckled. "A hundred and thirty million—just imagine how much good food that can buy. Tell me you aren't thrilled."

"I'm over the moon!"

Coralie laughed, her eyes curving into happy crescents. "Stay safe on the road, and let me know when you arrive."

"Will do."

Juniper switched the phone to her other ear, raising an eyebrow with a grin. "I also emailed you a little something. It might come in handy when you need it most."

The call ended.

Coralie opened her email and found the video of Sunrise Casino's dealer swapping the cards.

The casino boss rigging games?

If this footage ever saw the light of day, Rocco would lose half his empire in an instant, wouldn't he?

She needed to keep this incredibly safe. She would bide her time and wait for the perfect moment to deal that old bastard a fatal blow.

With the video safely stored away.

Coralie suddenly remembered she was scheduled to meet the Governor at the convention center tomorrow.

Odom was reliable and steady; she had planned to bring him along.

Before she could even ask, Odom beat her to it. "Ms. Quill, I have some pressing family matters to attend to tomorrow. May I request a day off?"

The words died in Coralie's throat.

Odom was incredibly dedicated to his job and rarely asked for time off.

It must be something genuinely important.

"Of course."

Coralie nodded, not making it difficult for him. "Take your time. Come back whenever you've handled everything."

Since she already had the invitation, taking her manager instead would work just fine.
