The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305 I Can Play

Danica had only lied because she wanted to set Cassia up.

Who could’ve predicted that Cassia would actually get injured? And at all times, it happened last night!

The staff member asked again, “Are you sure you want to forfeit?”

Alfen took a deep breath. “We-”

Before he could finish, the door suddenly flew open.

Everyone turned at the sound.

Who could it be now?

When they saw who walked in, they all went still.

Cassia stood in the doorway, expressionless, staring at them like she didn’t belong in the real world at all.

“The match is about to start. Why are you all just standing around?”

Alfen’s eyes widened.

Was he imagining things?

“Cassia?!”

Cassia walked closer, a trace of impatience flashing across her pretty face.

“If you don’t plan to play, then just forfeit. Don’t waste my time.”

That unparalleled swagger and sharp tone–it was unmistakably Cassia.

“Ma–match?” Alfen was still dazed.

Thank goodness! Zrario High doesn’t have to forfeit!

His emotions flipped instantly. He had just plummeted into despair, and now he was over the moon.

He looked at Cassia in awe, feeling as though a divine light shone from behind her, as if a goddess had descended to the court.

But…

Alfen pointed at her arm.

“Wasn’t your arm hurt? How can you play?”

Danica and the others finally snapped out of their shock.

Right. Cassia’s arm was injured. How could she play?

Cassia waved it off, signaling them to head to the waiting area.

“I can play.”

Play with an injury?

Everyone was stunned.

Allen’s expression turned serious. “Cassia, don’t force it if your arm is hurt. I already told the staff we’d forfeit. Though your injury causes us to miss this match, it’s unavoidable.”

Then he felt his words were too blunt, so he added, “Don’t blame yourself. We won’t hold it against you.”

How long–winded.

Cassia’s impatience deepened.

“I said I can play.”

“Just forget it, Cassia. What can you do when you’re injured? We’ll lose anyway. It’s better to heal first. If it gets worse, your hand might never fully recover.” Alfen tried to persuade her. “If it becomes permanent, it won’t just affect you. The school and the team will also get dragged into it.”

Cassia was the daughter of the Woods. If she ruined her arm, and the school blamed him, his job would be over.

“Let’s go.” Cassia ignored his speech and motioned for them to follow.

She thought her main team was already waiting in the prep area, and these girls could just fill in as subs.

But those girls didn’t know her thoughts. They

Umed she meant all of them should go to court with her.

They looked at Alfen, then at each other, not moving at all.

Could they even play properly? Cassia had to be craz

to compete while injured.

They didn’t dare take that risk. Besides, they had promised Danica they’d get revenge, so they didn’t want to cooperate with Cassia.

That gave them a pretty solid excuse.

“What’s the problem?” Cassia squinted slightly.

Her gaze was intimidating. She didn’t mean it, but everyone shrank back, including Alfen.

They all wondered why she was so set on playing while injured.

They assumed she was showing off.

She only wanted to play while injured so she could look impressive.

It wouldn’t matter how she performed. People would still praise her for being devoted and responsible. If her injury got worse during the match, if she collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital, everyone would feel more awed and moved by her actions.

“She’s way too stubborn. Hurt and still trying to act cool,” Danica muttered.

“Better not jump to conclusions without proof,” Mia disagreed.

She wasn’t close to Cassia. She just thought it was unfair to assume things with no evidence.

Another girl from the same advanced class as Cassia and Danica snorted. “Even if that’s not what she’s thinking, she doesn’t have to go this far.”

Her injury already made them forfeit. Was it really necessary to be so dramatic? They’d already said they wouldn’t blame her

“You want to play injured? You might not be scared, but we are! If it gets worse, we’ll get dragged into trouble!” another teammate voiced the truth loudly.

Once she said it, the rest followed, complaining to Cassia.

“Exactly! Cassia, you can’t be so selfish!”

“Totally reckless! If you’re hurt, stay in the hospital! Why play volleyball? Do you think you’re Iron Man? Do you think this will make us grateful? We already said we won’t blame you…”
