Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1409

"No wonder Juniper is acting so arrogant! That phone call was totally staged!"

Computer science?

Please. She belonged in acting school with Jimmie!

What an absolute drama queen.

"The only way to prove this isn't stolen is to have Dr. Nocturne show her face," the crowd's taunts grew louder and increasingly venomous. "Otherwise, Jenna gets disqualified, and the reputations of Juniper Payne and Shanley Schwartz go down in flames."

Within the crowd.

The third-year medical students from Eclara University looked equally grim.

While they had their issues with Juniper, this was about the prestige of their entire department.

They silently prayed she had a way out of this nightmare.

"I told you this was shady from the start. But did Jenna listen? No, she insisted on using those files,"

Leland Landon crossed his arms, smirking triumphantly. "Now look at the mess we're in. Juniper is nothing but a plague!"

Ever since she arrived on campus, she had caused nothing but chaos.

And now she was turning the university's medical program into a global laughingstock.

They were already looked down upon by international peers—this was the final nail in the coffin.

"Just wait a second," another classmate interrupted quietly. "I really don't think she's the type to pull a stunt like this."

She had just won glory for the country in the computer science tournament.

At the very least, her integrity on a global stage shouldn't be questioned so easily.

"We'll see about that,"

Leland scoffed, his eyes locked coldly on Juniper. "Unless she magically summons Dr. Nocturne into this room, she's finished."

"Miss Payne, am I to understand you cannot produce Dr. Nocturne's signature?"

The host asked, his tone laced with pity.

"No," Juniper replied flatly.

"What about a video call?" the host pressed gently. "If you can connect us via video right now, we might..."

"That's not convenient," she shot back.

A signature? No!

A video call? Not convenient!

Wasn't she practically admitting that whoever she called earlier was a complete fake?
