But Cassia had sung it without lowering the key at all. It sounded exactly like the original.
“So good,” Ethan said, staring at Cassia on stage with stars in his eyes.
He was so stunned that he could not even think of a poetic line to describe how beautiful her voice was.
Who would have thought that not only were her fists strong, but her singing was just as powerful?
At first, Draven focused entirely on Cassia’s performance. Then he noticed countless obsessed stares fixed on her. His long brows slowly drew together, and a trace of irritation appeared between them.
He had known it. Once Cassia showed her edge, she would shine impossibly brightly.
And where there was light, there were wolves.
Annoying.
Especially the guy sitting next to him.
Very punchable.
On stage, the song ended, and the echoes lingered.
Many people were still lost in the aftertaste of the performance. The auditorium stayed silent for a long time.
Cassia removed her hand from the microphone. She gave a brief, restrained bow to the audience, then walked off the stage without a word.
She came quietly and left just as quietly.
It took a long while for everyone to pull themselves out of the atmosphere created by her
voice.
They were also deeply shaken by one simple fac Cassia could sing.
In no time, her name flooded the campus forum and shot straight to the top of the trending list.
The awards ceremony followed soon after.

As expected, Cassia represented the senior advanced class and won the award for Best Performance.
No one felt there was anything shady about it. With that level of singing, not winning would have been the real scandal.
Cassia went on stage again to receive the award. Almost everyone in the audience stared at her.
Her performance had completely reshaped their impression of her.
“She can do that too?” Byron exclaimed. “Now I have zero hesitation about chasing after Cassia.”
Kaleb glanced at Byron.
Byron had been sitting far away earlier and probably had not heard what Brie said.
So the question remained unanswered. Was Cassia really lip–syncing or not?
If she was not, then that performance alone was far better than Bric’s by miles.
Cassia reached out and accepted the certificate from Harold.
“Congratulations,” Harold said.
Then he lowered his voice. “I really didn’t expect you to go on stage and sing.”
Cassia replied casually, “I felt like it.”
A little cocky.
But that was exactly her personality.
Harold calmly stood beside Cassia and posed for photos.
Just then, Tyne stood up. She somehow got hold of a microphone and looked toward the stage, speaking clearly and loudly.
“Cassia cheated. She lip–synced.”
The moment those words came out, the entire all exploded.
“Lip–syncing? No way!”
“Oh my God. If that’s true, that’s insane.”

“We will investigate this matter thoroughly.”
After saying that, Harold led Cassia to the office.

Cassia sat on the couch, scrolling through her phone. After making coffee, Harold placed a cup in front of her.
“Your favorite.”
Cassia was watching short videos and did not respond, even when something amusing came
“Next month, there’s an Olympiad math competition in Vrastin. The organizers want to invite you to be one of the graders. Are you interested?” Harold said, sitting across from her.
“I don’t need the money,” Cassia said, her eyes still fixed on her phone.
