The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281 Don’t Cooperate

“I’ve never once admitted to it, Cassia added, her voice flat.

Sacha and Rosalie’s mouths fell open.

Rosalie glanced back at Brie. “Don’t tell me … she’s the one who started it?”

Cassia looked at Rosalie but said nothing.

Sacha and Rosalie covered their mouths, eyes wide.

“Oh

my God! It really was her! Why would she do that? And why… why didn’t you deny it?”

“Even if I did, would anyone believe me? They’d just think I was protesting too much. Cassia’s voice remained flat and impossible to read.

Thinking back on everything that had happened, Rosalie and Sacha felt more and more that Cassia desperately needed someone to care for her.

With that thought, they each linked arms with Cassia, one on each side.

“We believe you. From now on, we’ll believe everything you say.”

“Mm.”

Cassia looked down at the four hands wrapped around her arms. Then she lifted her gaze to Rosalie and Sacha’s faces, raising an eyebrow. “So you’d believe me even if I lied?”

Both Rosalie and Sacha were taken aback.

They hadn’t expected this boss to crack a dry joke.

It seemed she wasn’t as cold as she appeared on the surface.

Alfen came looking for Cassia.

“Cassia, the city volleyball tournament starts in a few days. Did you practice with your sister Danica over winter break?”

“No.”

Cassia’s answer was completely honest.

“No?”

Alfen nearly choked on Cassia’s response.

“Gosh! Don’t tell me you forgot you signed up for the competition!”

“I didn’t forget.”

“Then why haven’t you been training? Don’t you take this competition seriously?”

Looking at Cassia’s indifferent attitude, Alfen struggled to keep his temper in check.

“You… ugh! Forget it. The tournament starts next week. I’m not even hoping you can lead our school to victory anymore. I’m taking you to the volleyball club now. Starting today, you’re training with the girls‘ volleyball team. Every day of practice counts. Got it?”

Cassia lowered her head and thought about it.

Although she was confident she could win the championship, volleyball was a team sport. She couldn’t carry the entire team on her own.

It would be better to spend some time building chemistry with the school’s volleyball team.

With that in mind, she agreed to his request and followed him to the volleyball club after school.

Danica was a member of the volleyball club and went to practice every day after school. Today was no different.

“Danica, is your hand still not healed?” a teammate asked with concern.

Danica was the captain of the school’s girls‘ volleyball team. Right now, she sat on the steps, surrounded by her teammates.

She touched her wrist. It wasn’t actually injured at all.

Brie had told her that if she wanted to teach Casia a lesson, it was best not to compete.

“Not yet…” Danica put on a sad face and said with feigned regret. “It’s such a shame. I won’t be able to lead you guys in the tournament.”

Every single teammate looked disappointed.

“You’re our main hitter. What are we going to do without you?”

“Is there any other girl at school who’s better at volleyball than you?”

“Actually, now that you mention it, there is one. Isn’t Cassia pretty good?”

Hearing this, Danica remembered how Cassia had effortlessly received her spike back in Cubresh.

“Cassia? Her? Ha!” One of Danica’s classmates on the team scoffed. “She’s never even played in an official match, and she has the nerve to agree to replace Danica? Danica comes to practice every single day. And Cassia? The tournament’s almost here and we haven’t seen her at practice once. What makes her think she can replace Danica?”

“Exactly! Mr. Hoge even said he might give Cassia the captain position! Hmph! Who does she think she is to replace Danica!”

Danica had always been their captain. Cassia coming out of nowhere did not sit well with them. She was the same Cassia who had never accomplished anything.

“The Zrario city tournament is already packed with top players, and now we’ve got some amateur as our main hitter. I’m telling you, we’re in serious trouble this time!”

“Trouble? We’re definitely going to lose!” Everyone shook their heads in agreement.

Seeing that everyone was so against Cassia, Danica felt relieved.

“If Cassia becomes your main hitter, we’ll definitely lose!” Danica said, then asked, “Do any of you actually want Cassia as your main hitter?”

“Of course not, but Mr. Hoge’s already decided on her. What can we do?” A teammate sighed helplessly.

Most of the team felt the same way.

“All right then, if you don’t want her, you can’t just sit around and do nothing!” Danica continued. “But you can’t openly defy the teacher either. Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll teach you a trick that’ll make Mr. Hoge change his mind about making Cassia the main hitter!”

“Tell us, Danica!” The teammates leaned in curiously.

“During this time, Mr. Hoge will definitely have Cassia come to practice. When that happens, just slack off! Don’t cooperate with her during drills. When Mr. Hoge sees that Cassia can’t gel with the team, he’ll definitely change his mind about making Cassia the main hitter!”
