Chapter 43 Underhanded Tactics

Fanny sighed in disappointment and pulled out her speech from her bag. “The competition starts in half an hour. I need to review it a bit more.” As she retrieved her speech, her hand trembled, and a small bag of medicine fell out of her bag

Upon hearing the sound, Stella looked down and noticed the word laxative‘ on the bag of medicine. She took the medicine from Fanny and asked, “Fanny, what is this?”

Fanny responded casually while continuing to flip through her speech. I’ve been experiencing some stomach issues recently, so I’m taking laxatives. As she spoke, she reached out to take the medicine back.

However, Stella quickly pulled her hand away, avoiding Fanny’s hand, and said with a smile, “Fanny, let me have this pack. I’ve been feeling a bit unwell recently too. Maybe a laxative will help.

“Sure, but you should wait until you get home to take it because this laxative is quite strong. If you take it now, you may miss the speech competition. Remember to watch the dosage when you take it.” Fanny smiled, noticing that Stella’s mood had improved.

“Okay, Fanny, Go ahead with your review, I need to use the restroom. Without waiting for Fanny to respond, Stella hurried off.

Fanny watched her retreating figure, shook her head helplessly, and muttered to the people around her that Stella was always in such a hurry.

“I guess Stella couldn’t hold it in any longer. She must have been holding it in just to accompany you,” a classmate teased.

The crowd was bustling. As this Brundelian speech competition was a state competition, it attracted an exceptionally large number of people. In addition to teachers and students, there were some elderly people dressed in suits, some well–dressed professionals, and even some foreigners with different hair and eye colors.

Angela, afraid of getting separated from Jessica and causing unnecessary accidents before the competition, tightly held her hand and followed her to the contestants‘ seats.

Jessica’s turn to compete was around the middle, and the contestants‘ seats were at the very front, so their seats were relatively forward.

Just as they sat down, two elderly men in suits took their seats across the aisle in the guest seats. Then, two middle–aged men in suits sat down in the row in front of the two old men. They seemed to know each other and started to greet each other.
