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

Chapter 498

Chapter 498: I Was Considering Disowning You

From their seats, the students couldn’t hear the content, just the stunned expression on her face, the disbelief in her stance. And the sight of Nnenna’s script in her hands only confirmed what they feared.

Several students submitted immediately, heads bowed in defeat. What was the point of continuing if the smartest girl they knew had surrendered?
