Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 568

Her speech was gone?

When word spread, the students started murmuring.

“Didn’t she check before going on stage? Dropping the ball at a critical moment!”

“All the deans and bigwigs are up there, and the cameras are rolling live. This dead air is so awkward!”

“The university took this opening ceremony very seriously. If this turns into a joke, Juniper will have to take the blame!”

“Can she speak or not? If not, she should just get off the stage and not waste everyone’s time!”

The students were all baking under the hot sun, their patience wearing thin. They wanted nothing more than for this to be over so they could go back to their dorms and sleep.

“Hattie, weren’t you holding Juniper’s speech?” Lola asked, confused. “We even saw the pages inside. We’re sure she brought it, so how can it not be in the folder?”

“I know!” Hattie was on the verge of tears, her voice trembling. “I was holding it the whole time and never even opened it, I swear.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Cynthia and Lola quickly comforted her. “We believe you. Something must have happened along the way.”

“I’m just so worried I’ve ruined things for Juniper…” Hattie looked at the seemingly helpless girl on stage, her eyes red with guilt.

Seeing this, a smug smile spread across Yolanda’s face. “So you stole the ‘freshman representative’ spot that was rightfully mine? Thought you could steal the show? Well, this is quite a show, isn’t it?”

She reveled in Juniper's apparent predicament.

“This…” Lionel hadn’t anticipated such a mishap and worried that the important figures beside him were growing impatient.
