Chapter 468: Why Did He Help Me?

His face was pale with humiliation.

It wasn’t just him who looked stunned.

A thick, uneasy silence settled over the lecture hall. One by one, heads dropped and gazes shifted awkwardly to the floor or to their desks. A few students were still scrolling, their mouths slightly open in disbelief.

Some looked mortified. Others embarrassed. And some just confused, like their entire understanding of what had happened had been ripped out from under them.

It was just too extreme. Too hateful.

A tiny shiver crawled down her spine as she realized how close she had come to real harm, while she had been telling herself Jana only had words and petty tricks.

Nnenna sat in the back of the lecture hall, the voices around her fading into a dull hum. She carefully typed out a short message to Carl, her thumbs hovering over the screen as she considered her words.

Nnenna’s heart stilled for a moment.

Nice to me??
