This was a pill she had made herself, capable of curing all kinds of ailments and purging all sorts of toxins. Just this month, Jake had come to her asking for two more.

Good thing Jake wasn’t here. If he saw Cassia casually handing out the insanely expensive pills, he’d be shocked. Black market bigshots would fight tooth and nail over them, yet she was giving them away just to treat Sacha’s stomachache. He’d probably lose sleep for a month from the heartache.

Just then, Byron walked over and stopped beside Cassia.

“I didn’t expect you to sing so well. You have the potential to be a professional vocalist.”

Cassia shot him an arrogant glance.

“There’s a lot you don’t know about me, but none of it concerns you.”

Byron’s expression turned awkward.

But it only for a few seconds before he continued following alongside Cassia, talking to her.

Ethan also made his way toward Cassia.

Seven and Shane turned to look at Draven.

His expression wasn’t great.

“Mr. Grey, do you want to go over there and chase away the wolves?” Seven asked.

Draven withdrew his gaze from the girl, adjusted his cuffs, and remained composed and distinguished.

“She’s the best girl I’ve ever met.”

Huh?

Seven and Shane were a bit confused. Why was suddenly telling them this?

“And?”

Draven’s eyes met Seven’s and Shane’s, a hint of amusement glimmering in their depths. “She has excellent taste.”

Seven fell silent.

He never learned. Why did he even ask?

Great. Now he’d been force–fed another heaping serving of their romance.

But Shane looked completely confused.

Brie glared at Cassia with jealousy written all over her face, and Danica and Tyne beside her wore nearly identical expressions.

“Mr. Bell definitely got some kind of benefit from that hillbilly!” Tyne’s mind was full of filthy thoughts.

Danica glanced at Cassia.

This isn’t over! Cassia, you will not be smug for long!

Just as Danica was thinking this, Jade and Lilian hurried over and blocked Cassia’s path.

Lilian held a Gatorade bottle in her hand and confronted Cassia. “Is this the drink you gave to Sacha?”

What now?

The students who had been about to disperse turned their attention back to Cassia.

Cassia looked at the bottle in Lilian’s hand, her face expressionless.

“Yes.”

“Good, you admit it!” Lilian said, looking at Cassia with disappointment in her eyes.

“The bottle tested positive for laxatives.”

Sacha exclaimed in shock, “What?”

So the Gatorade she drank earlier really had been tampered with.

The students crowded around.

This kind of explosive news was even more shocking than lip–syncing on stage,

Everyone whispered among themselves, gathering in small groups to gossip. Their gazes toward Cassia complicated.

And of course, none of what they were saying was good.

Rosalic’s brow furrowed tightly as she turned to look at Cassia.

“Who asked you to bring this drink over?”

Cassia drugging Sacha? Rosalie would sooner believe pigs could fly.

Sacha felt the same way.

Hearing Rosalie’s question, Cassia raised her brows.

“Leah.”

“Cassia! You’re shameless! You did this yourself and now you’re trying to pin it on someone else!” Jade said, rolling her eyes.

The moment Jade finished speaking, she met Cassia’s piercing, ice–cold glare.

Cassia took a few steps forward and stood before Jade.

At five foot eight, she towered over Jade by a full head.

“I’ve said it before. If I do something, I’ll own up to it. But if I didn’t do it, no one is going to frame me!”

Her presence was commanding, her tone frigid,

Jade thought back to the piano incident.

In the end, no one ever found out whether Cassia was really behind it. The piano had been kicked to pieces by Cassia, and before the truth could come to light, Chris had been arrested.

“Where’s Leah?” Lilian scanned the crowd.

Leah reluctantly emerged from the group.

“Ms. Reed, I don’t know anything about that drink. I never gave any drink to Cassia.”

Cassia had already reached her own conclusion,

“Whether you did or not, just check the fingerprints on the bottle and we’ll know,” Rosalie said. “If Leah’s fingerprints are on the bottle, she can’t escape suspicion.”

“That won’t work.” Cassia narrowed her eyes.

“Why not?” Rosalie and Sacha asked, puzzled.

“She was wearing gloves at the time.” A cold glint flashed through Cassia’s narrowed eyes.

She had found it suspicious when Leah suddenly asked her to deliver a drink to Sacha. And when she took the bottle from Leah’s hands, she noticed that Leah was wearing gloves.

At the time, she had wondered why anyone would still be wearing gloves when spring had already arrived, but she hadn’t thought too much about it.

Sacha looked at Leah, trembling slightly. “Why would you put laxatives in the drink? Do you have a grudge against me? Or … do you have a grudge against Cassia?”

Leah said nothing, but the look she gave Cassia was full of hostility.

The students exchanged glances. No one had concrete evidence of who had actually spiked the drink.

But if what Rosalie and Sacha said was true, then Leah was highly suspicious.

“Rosalie, Sacha, why do you two always take Cassia’s side?” Jade asked indignantly.

“Exactly!” Tyne said as she stepped forward.

Rosalie and Sacha met the gazes of Jade and Leah without flinching.
