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

Chapter 467: Check the School Forum!

Ava blinked, as if waking from a daze. She gave a small nod. "Yes... let’s go."

She followed them down the corridor, her steps light but her mind somewhere else entirely.

In the lecture hall, it was not just Emily, almost everyone was restless, craning their necks and sneaking glances at the doors every time they swung open. Everyone was waiting for Jana to show her face.

But the entire day passed, and she never appeared.

By the end of the final lecture, a hush fell as someone stood up near the back, phone in hand, and announced loudly, "Everyone check the school forum!"

Students began pulling out their devices, a ripple of murmurs and gasps filling the hall. A moment later, the news spread like wildfire.

Jana had been expelled for repeated misconduct and charged with criminal offenses.

The shock was immediate. Then, as if on cue, dozens of eyes turned to Nnenna. Some were curious. Some were wary. And a few were downright jealous and resentful.

"Who else could make this happen so quickly?" someone whispered under their breath. "She has all those connections...just snapped her fingers and ruined that girl’s life."

"This isn’t fair," another voice muttered, a young noble with a pinched, pale face. He clenched his pen so tightly his knuckles turned white. "According to the student handbook, the maximum punishment for harassment is suspension. Not expulsion and definitely not prison. So what’s the difference between Jana and her?"

He shot a dark look across the rows of seats, right at Nnenna. "Nnenna’s just as wicked... She’s only untouchable because she knows all those powerful people."

The boy’s voice grew louder, his frustration bubbling over.

"I know Prince Carl and Arthur personally. They’re my mentors. They always uphold justice and give people second chances. They must not have wanted to do this. She—" he jabbed a finger in Nnenna’s direction, though he didn’t dare say her name out loud, "—she must have convinced them somehow."

A ripple of uneasy agreement passed through the room.

"He has a point..." someone murmured behind him.

"Yeah... Jana was a liar, but maybe she wasn’t wrong about everything," another voice said cautiously. noveldrama

"She does have a lot of men around her. All of them bending over backwards to help her..."

"...It’s suspicious, isn’t it?"

No one dared to step forward or raise their voice fully. But their muttering grew thicker, a chorus of half formed suspicions carried on the air like smoke.

Nnenna didn’t even bother to look up from the notes she was sorting.

She was perfectly calm, even though she was just finding out the full details herself. But Emily, Emily was livid.

She slammed her notebook shut, stood up, and fixed the boy with a glare that made him shrink back in his seat.

"Are you guys blind?" she demanded, her voice steady and cutting, like ice wrapped in silk. "Nnenna is nothing like Jana."

The murmurs faltered.

"And if her friends decided to help her by removing a dangerous person who was trying to harm her, expelling her and sending her to jail, what’s it to you?" Emily continued, her tone sharper with every word. "Go get your own powerful connections if you’re so capable. Use them however you like. Nobody’s stopping you."

Gasps echoed across the hall. A few people looked away in embarrassment.

"And let’s be honest," Emily added, narrowing her eyes, "your clueless speech shows you don’t even know your so called mentors at all. You’re saying Jana should’ve only been suspended? Did you even read the list of her misconducts? It clearly requires expulsion and criminal charges. And since Prince Carl and Prince Arthur are as upright as you claim, of course they upheld the rules. Or are you saying you know better than they do?"

The boy laughed out loud, a mocking edge in his voice.

"Wants to harm her? With just a few words Jana said? Are you serious?" He scoffed and threw a careless glance at Nnenna. "It’s not like she’s lying here traumatized or anything. She looks perfectly fine. So now you’re making up stories to cling to her powerful connections?"

A ripple of murmurs swept through the room again, a few people glancing uncertainly between Nnenna and Emily.

Emily didn’t flinch. She let out a short, amused laugh, brushing invisible lint from her skirt with exaggerated calm. Her eyes glittered with annoyance.

"You’re really embarrassing yourself," she said coolly, her voice dropping into that steady, scolding tone that made her sound like a senior scolding a foolish junior. "Scroll down, you ignorant child."

The boy’s eyebrows shot up.

"Excuse me?" he snapped, but Emily only tilted her chin.

"Can’t you see the entire list of offenses written there?" she continued, her tone sweet as honey but laced with steel. "Keep reading. And this time, make sure you know all the facts before you accuse an innocent person."

The boy’s frown deepened. He looked around, expecting nods of agreement.

But the faces around him had changed. No one was backing him up anymore. A few people shifted away from his desk. Some were giving him looks that hovered between pity and irritation.

His stomach tightened.

Something was wrong.

Heart beating faster, he picked up his phone and finally scrolled down past the first paragraph of the school’s official statement.

That was when he saw it.

Near the bottom of the statement, bolded in red:

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Jana was the one who nearly harmed Miss Nnenna during the incident at the training ground.

His eyes widened. He kept reading, heart thumping louder with every line.

List of Offenses:

Coercion

Attempted assault

Blackmailing the academy’s staff

Multiple counts of harassment

Theft of restricted materials

Punishment: Immediate expulsion and transfer to local law enforcement for criminal charges.

His throat went dry. The phone trembled slightly in his hand.

Slowly, as if all the strength had drained from his body, he sank back into his chair.
