Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 544

Old man?

"I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!" Cassidy yelled, rubbing his aching hand. "A student who bullies others, who has no manners—what is she doing in a university? She belongs in jail!"

"Tsk." A smirk played on Juniper's lips. "Still needs his mommy, I see."

"Mr. Malone, Mr. Malone, please calm down..." The counselor quickly stepped in, trying to act as a peacemaker before things got completely out of hand.

In her view, this was a trivial matter. It was a bet, plain and simple. Honoring a bet and admitting you were wrong was perfectly normal. For a grown boy to run home crying to his father... it was just childish. But his father's reaction showed just how spoiled the boy was.

"This doesn't warrant calling the police," the counselor advised gently. "It's just a squabble between kids. They can talk it out. Besides, your son deliberately damaged our student Juniper's rifle."

"Who saw it?" Cassidy's eyes darted away for a second before he retorted stubbornly. "Do you have proof? If not, I'll sue you for slander."

The counselor was at a loss for words. Ferdinand had been very discreet when he tampered with the gun, and there were no security cameras nearby.

"Other students saw him," she insisted.

"Hearsay is not proof," Cassidy shot back, determined to twist the situation. "By that logic, I can also say Juniper's first-place win was rigged."

The counselor nearly fainted from frustration.

Upstairs, in another room in the administration building.

"...and that's pretty much the situation," the subordinate reported, relaying the events from the office below to Ebony Fox.

"Just for pulling some hair? It's such a minor thing, and he calls his father," the subordinate said with disdain. "Now the other party won't let it go and is insisting on calling the police."

"Has her brother arrived?" Ebony Fox asked, her voice low.
