How Death Became My Rebirth (Cassandra Yates) novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 

Cassandra’s achievements caused a stir in the class. 

‘1564 points! Such a high score!‘ everyone exclaimed inwardly. 

The highest score of Samuel, who had ranked first in the whole grade, was only 1519 points, while Cassandra easily scored 1564 points without answering many questions. 

When the results were announced, Samuel turned around in surprise. He hadn’t expected Cassandra to keep her own counsel. With 1564 points, she had probably 

scored full marks for all four basic sciences. 

That was an unparalleled result. 

When Yulissa heard Cassandra score 1564 points, she couldn’t stand it. She suddenly stood up and said to Connor, “It’s impossible. Cassandra is a country bumpkin with low education. How could she get 1564 points? She must have cheated!” 

She thought, ‘That’s right! It must be cheating! She must have cheated because she was afraid of losing to me! That must be the case!‘ 

“Yulissa, please sit down!” Connor turned his attention from Yulissa to the class, saying, “I know you have doubts about Cassandra’s paper. So do the teachers. Therefore, we’ve checked all the surveillance cameras and found no signs of cheating on Cassandra. Besides, Cassandra’s problem–solving is different from everyone else’s. It’s not even the standard answer!” 

‘She is just too low–key! Despite being so outstanding, she has remained unknown,‘ he thought. 

“It’s impossible. How could she get such a high score?” Yulissa kept mumbling. She couldn’t believe it. 

In that way, Cassandra was 133 points higher than her, twice as high as the score she had promised. ‘It’s impossible. Absolutely impossible! she thought. 

Yulissa stood up and said indignantly, “Mr. Zeller, I want to report Cassandra for cheating. You must give us an explanation!” She requested Connor to give an explanation and punish the cheater. 

Without waiting for Connor to speak, Cassandra stood up and said, “Yulissa, are you deliberately delaying the time because you lost the bet? I didn’t cheat. I believe the school has investigated clearly. Are you questioning the teachers and the school?” 

“I’m just doubting you. You have only attended junior high school for a few days. How can you learn the knowledge of high school and get such a high score?”

Yulissa thought her suspicion was reasonable and legal. Anyway, she would not admit defeat. 

“Okay, then I’ll convince you!” 

Cassandra glanced around at her classmates who were watching the show. It was ironic yet interesting that some of them never learned their lessons. 

“I believe most families have participated in the charity gala on Saturday. You guys should know about my identity as Elaine.” 

Yulissa’s face froze. 

+5 

Indeed, Cassandra was Elaine. Her fame and prestige were beyond the reach of anyone. 

It was rumored that Elaine had obtained master’s and doctorate degrees from more than a dozen world–renowned schools. In addition to fashion design, some schools even offered her an annual salary of around 2 million dollars to teach once a month, 

but she declined them all. 

The more Yulissa thought about it, the paler her face turned. 

Somebody said, “Oh, yeah. When my dad came home that day and said Cassandra was Elaine, I was stunned. Mrs. Hathaway has acknowledged it. There should be no 

mistake!” 

Another chimed in, “It’s said that Elaine has received many doctorate degrees. Then why is she attending high school?” 

Cassandra heard that and said, “Because Yulissa’s good father felt sorry for her, he sent me to school to accompany her. It’s only for a month anyway. I don’t want to quit halfway. It’s not a bad idea to take the SAT. After all, I have never experienced it!” 

Her classmates thought, ‘Is she showing off? That’s true. She is only 18 years old now. How could she have gotten so many degree certificates if she had taken the SAT?‘ 

Yulissa’s body went weak, and she almost fell to the floor. 

“Yulissa, you lost the bet. It’s time for you to fulfill it. You have to persist.” Cassandra looked at Connor and said, “Mr. Zeller, you won’t be biased or make an exception, right?” 

That would mean that Yulissa had to fulfill the terms of their bet and finish running the laps that day, no matter what happened. 

“I won’t accept it! You got the result by cheating. Why should I admit defeat?” 

“So, Yulissa, whose paper can I copy? The second place in the grade sat in front of you. 

2/4 

70% 

Chapter 53 

My score is over 70 points higher than him. I was at the last exam venue. Tell me, whose paper did I copy?” 

Yulissa couldn’t answer Cassandra’s question. She thought, ‘I can’t lose. No! If I fulfill the bet, my reputation will be ruined! Cassandra is so mean!” 

“I…” 

“What’s your bet?” Connor asked. 

The classmate in front of Cassandra stood up and said, “Mr. Zeller, it was Yulissa who wanted to make a bet with Cassandra. Whoever achieves the better result this time will win the bet and set the conditions!” 

Those videos on the weekend had let her see Yulissa’s true colors. She would not take the side of the evildoers. 

“Then, let’s do it. I will keep my word!” 

Hearing that, Cassandra smiled lightly. She thought Yulissa was going to get Edward to take Connor away. 

Seeing that Yulissa didn’t move, she could only walk up to her out of compassion. 

“Let’s go, Yulissa. It’s time to fulfill your bet!” Cassandra suddenly grabbed Yulissa’s hair with one hand and went to the podium to take the homeroom teacher’s wireless microphone before walking toward the classroom door. 

“Cassandra, let me go! Ah! It hurts! Cassandra, let me tell you, it’s useless, whatever you do. As long as I am here, you will never be the daughter of the Yates family! Ah! Let go, Cassandra!” 

Along the way, more and more students gathered to watch the show. 

“Yulissa, according to the final test results, you lost. According to the agreement, I win if my score is 60 points higher than yours. Now, my score is 133 points higher. If you want to cheat or don’t want to fulfill the bet, don’t blame me!” 

‘You provoked me again and again, and I ignored it. Since you want to push your luck, then we’ll see!‘ she thought.
