They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 440: Get Lost or Face his Wrath!

Yes, she had told herself that Carl’s panic at the training grounds was because he thought Nnenna was her friend. She had forced herself to believe that. That it was all just a big misunderstanding, a coincidence. A glitch in reality.

But deep down, where her pride couldn’t reach and her fears festered, she knew it was a lie.

He hadn’t even looked at her.

Not once.

If they went to him now, in front of all these people…

She would be exposed.

Not just as a liar, but as a delusional, desperate girl clinging to a fantasy that had already crumbled.

“No,” Jana muttered, voice barely above a whisper.

But no one heard her. Nnenna had already reached the door, holding it open, calm as ever.

“Well?” she asked softly, looking directly at Jana. “Are you coming?”

All eyes shifted to Jana again.

This time, there was no mockery. Only judgment.

And the terrifying weight of truth.

Jana’s eyes flickered, and in an instant, she switched tactics.

“You see?” she sneered, her voice sharp and loud enough for everyone to hear. “You’re just making excuses to see my boyfriend again. Shameless.”

She folded her arms and lifted her chin high, radiating smug superiority.

“I won’t give you that opportunity. Instead” she paused for dramatic effect, “you must withdraw from this school today. Leave before the end of the day and Carl and I will let you go. Even now, I’m showing you mercy.”

The room gasped.

“Prince Carl wanted to do much worse,” she continued with an air of fake compassion. “But I pleaded on your behalf. I begged him not to destroy your future.”

She exhaled and gave a grand, gracious nod. “This is the best I can do for you. Now off you go, Nnenna.”

For a moment, silence hung over the entire classroom like a heavy fog.

Was she serious?

Just like that, Nnenna was being expelled?

Before she had even finished her first semester at the academy?

Some students turned away, others exchanged anxious glances. While many still feared Jana’s influence and clout, a few couldn’t help but wonder, was this even allowed? Could a student just throw someone out like this?

But no one dared speak up.

To defy Jana was to risk becoming her next target.

One girl, seated near the window, shifted uncomfortably. She wasn’t brave, but her heart twisted at the injustice unfolding before her.

Leaning forward slightly, she whispered just loud enough for Nnenna to hear, “You should… maybe take this chance. Just leave quietly. If Prince Carl really wants to come after you…”

Her voice trembled as she trailed off.

“Your life could become much worse.”

A few others nodded hesitantly. Not out of cruelty, but fear.

Deep, suffocating fear.

Everyone watched Nnenna now, waiting to see if she would break.

If she would cry.noveldrama

If she would run.

Or… if she would fight back.

“Pfffft”

Nnenna suddenly burst into laughter. Loud, clear, and utterly unapologetic.

The students “..?”

Jana “…”

The entire class froze.

Jana froze, startled.

That wasn’t the reaction she expected. Not even close.

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Grace,” Nnenna said, wiping an imaginary tear from her eye as she walked towards Jana, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “But I’m not going anywhere.”

The air in the classroom shifted.

Jana blinked rapidly. “W-what did you just say?”

“I said…” Nnenna looked her dead in the eye, “I’m staying. You don’t scare me, and your fairytale romance is exactly that, a fairytale. Prince Carl is a grown man, not a trophy. If he wanted to destroy me, I would be gone by now. But I’m still here. So maybe you should be the one asking why.”

Gasps rippled across the room.

“She really said that…”

“Oh my god… does she want to die?”

“She’s brave, no, reckless!”

“I thought she was smart, but maybe she really is just a scholarship kid with no survival instinct.”

A boy in the back whispered, “She should’ve left quietly. It’s over for her now.”

Another student muttered, “Yeah, pride won’t protect her when Prince Carl gets involved. She just signed her own expulsion letter.”

Some were shocked. Others pitied her. A few, secretly, admired her courage, but no one said it out loud.

Jana’s eyes twitched. Her perfect mask of superiority was starting to crack.

Why… isn’t she scared?

She had set the stage. Made the threat. Everyone was watching. Why wasn’t Nnenna backing down?

As Nnenna calmly sat back down next to Emily, unbothered and even smiling a little, the tension in the air deepened.

The class could feel it, this drama was far from over.

And the next chapter?

Was going to be explosive.

Jana was infuriated, absolutely burning on the inside. But just as she was about to lash out again, an idea sparked in her mind. She quickly masked her fury with a sad, dramatic smile.

“I really wanted to help you,” she said in a sorrowful tone, eyes gleaming with fake concern. “But since you insist on rejecting my kindness, don’t blame me for what happens next.”

With that ominous line hanging in the air, she turned on her heel and stormed out of the lecture hall, heels clicking with self importance as she headed in the direction of Prince Carl’s office.

The moment the door closed behind her, a strange silence followed.

Some students turned sympathetic glances toward Nnenna.

Others… didn’t bother hiding their smirks.

“She’s done for,” someone whispered.

“She should’ve taken the chance to leave when she could,” another muttered.

“That was so dumb… does she think she can win against Jana and Prince Carl?”

Nnenna didn’t flinch. She simply pulled out her notes and calmly started flipping through them, as if Jana’s dramatic exit had never happened.

Half an hour passed.

Jana still had not returned.

One by one, the students began packing up and leaving, whispering amongst themselves.

“Maybe she’s reporting her now.”

“She might not come back at all today.”
