Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 565

“This way, please.”

Sensing the shift in his mood, Lionel didn’t dare say another word. He then turned to his assistant, his voice stern. “Find out which class that student is from and what her advisor told her. How could she make such a scene at a serious and important event like this?”

It was a good thing Shanley dodged so quickly. If she had actually crashed into him, who knows what would have happened?!

“Yes, sir. I’ll look into it immediately.”

...

A few minutes later.

Shanley had left, and Yolanda had been carried away, leaving the crowd of onlookers exchanging bewildered glances.

“Doesn’t Mr. Schwartz know Yolanda?” one of Yolanda’s classmates asked in disbelief. “When Yolanda lunged at him just now, I saw him actively dodge her.”

That didn't look like they knew each other at all. Could Yolanda have made it all up?

“Yeah,” another student agreed, equally confused. “It’s so weird. At first, Mr. Schwartz was definitely smiling in her direction.”

“Maybe there were too many people, and he couldn’t see clearly? Maybe he thought it was someone else rushing out?”

“Someone else?” A short-haired girl’s eyes lit up as she slowly ventured, “What if Mr. Schwartz wasn’t looking at her in the first place… but at someone else?”

At her words, everyone turned to look at her.

It wasn't impossible. But… who would Mr. Schwartz be smiling at?

A guy?

Or a girl?

...

At the campus clinic.

...

Leaving the clinic, Yolanda saw the university president talking with Juniper.

“You brought your speech, right?” The president was all smiles, giving her a gentle and paternal reminder. “This year’s opening ceremony is a huge affair, and it’s being live-streamed. All the big names in Eclara City are here. Especially Shanley. As the freshman representative, you need to make a good impression when you go up on stage. Don’t do anything to displease him.”

“He wouldn’t dare,” Juniper replied nonchalantly.

“What was that?” The president hadn't heard her clearly.

“Nothing,” Juniper said blandly, blinking.

Overhearing this, Yolanda was consumed by a wave of jealousy. She wondered if Mr. Schwartz would be captivated by Juniper's seductive face when he saw her.

If only… if only something went wrong with her speech.

A sinister glint appeared in Yolanda’s eyes at the thought.
