Leah’s mother had been an HR manager at the Crey Group’s Zrario branch, and Cassia was an eighteen–year–old high school student. The two had absolutely nothing in common. No matter how hard people tried, they couldn’t figure out what connection a big company’s HR manager getting fired could possibly have with Cassia.

When they tried to find Leah to get more details she was sitting in class and suddenly received notice that she had been expelled from school.

Leah had no concrete evidence that Danica and Brie were behind it. Everything was just her word against theirs.

Whether the two Wood sisters were really responsible remained inconclusive for the time being.

However, after this incident, Danica and Brie’s images wasn’t quite so perfect in some students‘ minds anymore.

As for the Woods, Brie just shed a couple of tears, and the whole thing blew over.

“That’s great, Cassia! Leah must have finally grown a conscience!” Rosalie said with relief.

Grown a conscience?

Cassia narrowed her eyes and glanced toward the office building across the way, where Draven sat leisurely drinking wine in his office.

Brie was dumbfounded.

Hadn’t Danica guaranteed that Leah wouldn’t dare to rat them out? How had she been proven wrong after just one night?

Danica was equally stunned.

How had Leah confessed, and how she had even dragged her and Brie into it?

Now she and Brie had explained themselves to the point of exhaustion. Although their explanations had been fairly effective, there were still some people who looked at her and Brie strangely.

Especially the looks directed at Brie.

In the honors classroom, during break, Brie stood in the hallway when Kaleb walked over to

her and asked, “It really wasn’t you… you guys who did it?”

Brie hadn’t expected Kaleb to suspect her too.

Tears of hurt welled up in her eyes, pooled for a moment, then slid down her cheeks.

“If you don’t believe me, why bother asking?”

With that, Brie turned and walked away, looking utterly heartbroken.

She had barely taken one step before Kaleb grabbed her hand.

Brie kept her head lowered, a triumphant smile curling at the corner of her lips.

“It’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just…”

“It’s just that Leah said it, so now you suspect me?” Brie cut Kaleb off, her voice soft and gentle.

Kaleb frowned but said nothing.

Brie turned around. Her face was pale. “I didn’t do it. Besides, Cassia is my sister. Why would I want to frame her? I have absolutely no reason to. Someone must have put Leah up to saying those things. They’re just jealous of me and my sister.”

Both Brie and Cassia were top students and both were gorgeous. Kaleb thought Brie’s explanation made perfect sense.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked you that. But I wasn’t trying to accuse you.” After Kaleb said this, Brie looked even more hurt. Tears streamed down her face like open faucets, and she looked utterly pitiful.

Kaleb’s heart ached as he pulled the sobbing Brig into his arms.

“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…”

The more Kaleb apologized, the harder Brie cried, burying herself in his chest and sobbing even louder.

Students nearby began shooting them strange looks.

“Oh my God, Kaleb and Brie are hugging!”

“Only couples would be that intimate, right?”

“Are Brie and Kaleb dating? Geez! If they’re gonna do this, at least don’t be so obvious about it! Don’t they want their Vego University recommendation anymore?”

“Shh! Don’t talk nonsense. Can’t you see Brie’s crying her eyes out? Kaleb’s being a gentleman. As her best friend, of course he’d comfort her.”

“But Kaleb’s the one who pulled her in for the hug. Even if they’re close, isn’t that kind of inappropriate?”

“Now that you mention it, it really doesn’t seem like something regular friends of the opposite sex would do.”

Hearing all the whispers around him, Kaleb felt his ears turn beet red.
