I Give Up on the BL Novel's Male Leads - Chapter 122
What on earth had she done to deserve this? In a state of frustration, Alisha blurted out whatever came to mind.
“This is so unfair! Why is this happening only to me? There’s no need to expel me!”
Fueled by resentment, Alisha was blinded by anger.
“And this is all Illein’s fault! He has nothing, yet he acts so high and mighty! I asked him to go to the dance party with me, and he reported me to the police! Do you have any idea how much I liked him? He completely disregarded my feelings!”
“Student Alisha, what are you talking about?”
The Chairman looked at Alisha with a contemptuous glare. Willai had his issues, but Alisha’s were even worse.
Her complete lack of shame only served to infuriate her further.
“So, you’re saying that you harassed Student Illein because you have romantic feelings for him?”
“Yes.”
It was an absurd response. The troubling part was that it was the truth.
The darkness of the brooch in the Chairman’s hand served as proof of this.
“No… What! Do you really think that makes any sense? If you like someone, why would you torment them?”
“Because I like him! If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t bother at all!”
At that moment, the Chairman had a thought. It was a case of like attracting likes.
Both Willai and Alisha had distorted views on affection. It was truly regrettable.
Regardless of what the Chairman thought, Alisha continued to express her grievances passionately. The problem was that everyone else found her outburst utterly ridiculous.
They all viewed her as a genuine enemy in a different sense. Her claims were absurdly close to being nonsensical.
Alisha was completely unaware of the atmosphere around her. Instead, she was caught up in her own feelings, thinking about Illein.
In truth, Alisha had never told anyone, but she was weak for pretty, cute, and handsome people.
Perhaps that was why Illein’s stunning appearance had caught her attention the first time they met.
However, regardless of that, Illein was still irritating to her.
It was frustrating that someone who didn’t have the financial means to attend Bellaine Academy was consistently at the top of the class.
A strange mix of affection and resentment swirled within her.
Alisha wanted to crush Illein completely.
Her true desire was to thoroughly dismantle Illein and then have him as someone to call her own.
“So, you’re saying you were trying to frame Student Illein as a thief and torment him… and that you accused him of being the one who attacked Student Damon at the dance party?”
“That was just something I said in the heat of the moment! I was furious that Illein had the audacity to stand me up!”
Throughout the exchange, Illein’s face paled even more than when Willai had spoken. What did they think of her?
While it wasn’t a certainty, the ominous undertones in Alisha’s outburst left Illein feeling appalled.
She feared that Alisha would not leave her alone afterward. Would she take her anger out on Illein after this was all over?
Despite Illein’s worries, the situation continued to unfold with Alisha’s unreasonable claims and the chairman’s firm responses.
“Regardless, consider what Student Illein has gone through. Is that really justifiable? Just because you harbor those feelings doesn’t mean you can treat Student Illein that way!”
“So what do you want me to do? I didn’t commit a grave crime for just playing a few pranks!”
“It is a serious offense! Student Illein was nearly expelled due to your actions, being wrongly accused of theft!”
The chairman’s voice grew increasingly filled with anger.
Alisha, too, was becoming more emotional as she spoke.
“What do you know about it, Chairman? That’s why you’re still unmarried!”
“Student Alisha!”
The Chairman was single. However, there was a reason for her choice.
In the empire where only men could carry on the family name and rise to positions of power, once a woman got married, she became a being who couldn’t leave her home without her husband’s permission.
Her maiden name would vanish, and she would have to adopt her husband’s surname.
That was why the Chairman chose not to marry; she wanted to live her own life.
Thanks to this decision, she had become the youngest chairperson, outpacing capable board members, and she was now the most trusted operator of the academy by the imperial family, leading the revival of Bellaine Academy.
She was so capable that she handled the duties of both chairperson and president while in her position.
She chose not to marry for the sake of her brilliant future.
Given that, it was no wonder she felt anger at Alisha’s words.
“Have you forgotten where you are right now?”
“I haven’t forgotten! Are you just jealous because I said I like handsome men? I’m young and beautiful! You’re just an old woman with no chances left!”
That was a fallacious argument.
With no logic behind her words, Alisha’s stubbornness only intensified the chairman’s sharp response.
“Student Alisha, this is about your inappropriate actions! If you keep speaking like this, the consequences will only get worse!”
“Ah! I don’t care! This academy isn’t worth it! I’m going to quit!”
