Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1416

"I don't need to recite it anymore?"

Juniper stopped mid-sentence, casting a glance at the panel of judges sitting in the front row.

The judges quickly shook their heads. "No, no, no, not at all."

In that livestreamed lecture video, many of the people taking notes were their own mentors and seniors.

If she was their teachers' teacher, didn't that make her their grandmaster?

"Oh."

She shifted her gaze back to the audience, the corners of her lips curling up as she spoke with slow, deliberate ease. "Is there anyone else who has a problem? Step forward!"

She, Juniper Payne, specialized in putting arrogant people in their place!

"???"

The medical students instinctively turned their heads toward Leland, who had been acting so high and mighty just moments ago.

Leland silently lowered his head, pretending to be invisible.

He never imagined she was actually Dr. Nocturne.

He especially never imagined that the legendary doctor would actually attend classes in their department.

Wait a minute.

If that was the case, didn't that mean he could brag to everyone that Dr. Nocturne was his classmate?

That sounded pretty damn cool!

"Leland, don't you have something to say?" one of the students asked pointedly.

"What did I say?!"

Leland scowled, stubbornly trying to defend himself. "Weren't all of you doubting her just a second ago? It wasn't just me!"

The other students sneered.

Sure, they had their doubts, but he was the one actively fanning the flames and maliciously slandering her.

Did he think they were stupid?

The audience fell into a dead silence, broken only when Shanley stood up and chimed in, "I never doubted it for a second. Please don't be mad at me, Ms. Payne."

Everyone else: "???"

Was Mr. Schwartz seriously indulging in PDA right now?

Yup, he definitely was!

Looking at him, the corners of her lips lifted, and much of the frustration in her chest melted away.

"Since my signature is valid, let's proceed with the competition as planned."

She pulled her gaze away and looked at Jenna with a faint smile. "Sorry for holding everyone up."

"Thank you, Juniper."

Jenna's heart did a little flip as she realized her mistake, quickly correcting herself, "Ah, no, thank you, Dr. Nocturne."
