Chapter 444: Full Blown Campus Spectacle

She stepped to the front of the class dramatically. "Let’s go to the VC’s office. You can hear it from his own mouth, how your precious friend has been expelled. I honestly don’t know why you’re trying so hard to act like a good friend, but if you’re desperate to humiliate yourself and your friend even more, I’ll gladly assist."

She turned with a smirk and marched toward the door. "Well? What are you waiting for? Let’s go."

And just like that, the entire class rose from their seats, buzzing with curiosity and drama hungry whispers. Phones were already out, recording discreetly. Even students from other years trailed behind them.

It was no longer a class matter, it had become a full blown campus spectacle.

Oliver, the year one medicine and surgery class rep, who normally remained quiet, adjusted his glasses and followed. He didn’t particularly like Nnenna, and in the face of power like Jana’s, his support was predictable. Better to be on the winning side, he told himself.

Besides, Nnenna was just a scholarship student. What weight could she possibly hold in a world of royal connections and powerful elites?

As the group made their way through campus, more and more students caught wind of what was happening.

"Hey, the showdown’s moving to the VC’s office!"

"Seriously? That’s where it’s happening now?"

"Let’s go! This might be our only chance to see if that Year One girl really caught Prince Carl’s eye!"

The crowd swelled, buzzing like a beehive. What had started as a classroom confrontation had now become a full blown university event. Students spilled out of hallways and lecture rooms, abandoning classes to witness the drama firsthand.

Even the lecturers, intrigued by the escalating rumors, exchanged glances and quietly allowed the exodus.

Some followed behind the students.

They, too, wanted to know the truth.

Had a first year girl really managed to charm the legendary Crown Prince Carl?

And if so... how had she done it?

For many of them, especially the power hungry and politically savvy, this wasn’t just idle curiosity. It was strategy.

If the rumors were true, this girl could one day hold more influence than any royal tutor, dean, or academic authority in the school. It would be wise to get on her good side now before it was too late.

But there was only one way to know for sure.

It all depended on the VC’s reaction.

Prince Carl hadn’t said a word since the rumors started. Not a single public comment, not even a social media post.

It made some think the gossip was fake. Others believed he was simply testing his fiancée to be, keeping her from relying too heavily on his name.

Whatever the reason, everyone was convinced of one thing:

If Jana was truly under Prince Carl’s protection, the Vice Chancellor would know. And how he treated her now... would reveal everything.

Would the VC protect her? Defend her? Stand with Jana and the powerful family potentially backing her? Or rebuke her like a stranger and someone with no backing?

His reaction will determine everything.

Inside the Vice Chancellor’s building, the soft hum of the air conditioning was suddenly overpowered by the rising sound of footsteps and chatter echoing down the corridor.

The VC’s secretary lifted her head, a deep frown forming on her usually unreadable face. Her fingers paused mid type as the approaching commotion grew louder, too loud. Her eyes narrowed.

What now? She stood up abruptly and walked briskly toward the door, already preparing a sharp scolding for whichever group of troublemakers had dared bring chaos to this part of campus.

She was known for her cold indifference. Always professional. Never impressed. Students often whispered that even some faculties feared her a little.

But the moment she stepped outside and her eyes landed on Jana at the front of the crowd... her expression changed instantly.

Gone was the anger. Her features softened, replaced with a polite, even warm, smile.

"Miss Jana, you’re here," she said smoothly, her voice far gentler than usual, almost deferential.

Everyone froze for a second.

The crowd had expected yelling, maybe even punishments. But the secretary, that secretary, was smiling? At Jana?

Gasps rippled through the students behind her. Murmurs spread like wildfire.

"...She’s smiling?"

"That secretary hates everyone."

"Okay, now I’m 40% sure Jana is involved with Prince Carl..."

Even some of the lecturers exchanged uneasy glances. The Vice Chancellor’s secretary had connections straight to the top. If she was treating Jana like royalty, maybe there was more truth to the rumors than they had thought.

"Did you see that? The secretary’s actually being nice to her!" a year three student whispered in disbelief.

"She’s never nice to anyone! Even the professors tread carefully," another replied.

"No way... this girl must really be prince Carl’s future wife."

Murmurs spread like wildfire as the students and lecturers exchanged incredulous looks.

No one had ever seen the Vice Chancellor’s secretary act this way. Her usual cold, sharp demeanor had melted into the warmth of a well trained hostess, all for Jana.

Meanwhile, Jana basked in the attention like a cat stretching in sunlight. She gave a slow, regal nod at the secretary’s greeting, her chin tilted slightly upwards, eyes gleaming with condescension.

"I want to see the VC," she said, her tone smug and full of self-importance, like a queen issuing orders to her steward.

The secretary, unbothered by her arrogance, practically rushed into the office. Within seconds, she reappeared, this time ushering out none other than the Vice Chancellor himself.

The crowd went still.

The VC, normally slow and methodical, was practically jogging out of his office. His eyes locked onto Jana, and his face lit up as if someone had just handed him the crown itself.

"Quickly, serve some refreshments," he barked to his secretary as he reached Jana.

"Welcome, Miss Jana," he said with an eager smile. "How may I help you today?"

The Crowd "!!!"

Nnenna "..?"

Dead silence.
