Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1233

Could it be true? Had she been away arranging her fiancé's funeral this whole time?

"Juniper, please try not to be too heartbroken," Hattie was the first to approach, offering gentle, cautious comfort. "He’s in a better place now. My deepest condolences."

Juniper: "?"

"We didn't know how to reach out," another classmate chimed in, and soon everyone was talking over each other.

"We couldn't see Mr. Schwartz in person, so we all lit candles and held a vigil for him."

Juniper: "??"

"Goddess, you don't have to pretend to be strong. If you need to cry, just cry."

She looked fine on the surface, but upon closer inspection, her eyes were slightly red and she had faint dark circles. She must have cried herself to sleep!

Rumor had it that the Schwartz family had kept the memorial service completely under wraps to prevent a corporate crisis.

Juniper: "???"

Wait a second. Was she hearing this right? Her lovely classmates thought she had been MIA because she was burying Shanley?

"Hahaha..." Once it finally clicked, Juniper doubled over, clutching her stomach. She laughed so hard she nearly choked on her breakfast. It was simply too hilarious.

The rest of the class exchanged grave, concerned looks.

See? They knew her mental state was deteriorating.

"The professor is here!" someone hissed, and everyone scrambled back to their seats.

The exam papers were passed out. Throughout the test, students kept stealing worried glances at Juniper.

She was flawlessly filling out the answers, not looking the least bit like a grieving widow.

After the exam, Juniper packed up her bag, turned to the room, and offered a bright smile. "I'm getting engaged."

"Huh?!" The entire class sat frozen, staring at her in sheer horror. "To... to who?!"

"Who else?"

Mr. Schwartz?! But wasn't he dead?!
