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

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.

"She really gave up..." a girl near the front whispered.

A boy let out a low groan and dropped his pen. "If Nnenna gave up, what chance do the rest of us even have?"

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

But others clenched their jaws, forcing themselves to keep going.

"No. I’m not her, but I won’t back down," one muttered, scribbling furiously. "Even if I get just 50%, at least it’ll be mine."

Meanwhile, outside the tension filled hall, Nnenna walked through the serene corridor of the admin block. The quiet there was a stark contrast to the anxious energy she had left behind.

She strolled casually, her steps light. Exams didn’t scare her, after Lionara, this felt like revision.

Carl’s office was just around the corner.

She reached it, passed through the waiting area and greeted the secretary. Now standing in front of the door, she raised her hand and knocked softly, even though she noticed the door was already sliding open for her.

She waited for it to open fully and stepped in.

Carl didn’t look up.

He didn’t need to.

Only one person walked into his office like she owned the place, without waiting for permission, without tiptoeing. Just confidently stepping in like it was her second home.
