Tyne froze when she saw the look in Brie’s
eyes.

Was that really a look Brie could make?
While Tyne was still stunned, Danica finally pulled her foot free from Tyne’s hands.
“I’m sorry, Tyne. From today on, we’re done.”
Tyne opened her mouth. Then she opened it wider.
In her heart, Brie was flawless, a kind of perfect figure. Her only flaw was caring too much.
Danica was the same. She wasn’t as perfect or gentle as her sister, but she was still a childhood friend, someone Tyne had grown up with. They were best friends.
That was why, all this time, whenever anyone dared to insult her best friends, Tyne would jump out at once. She’d argue with anyone, fight anyone, believe them no matter what, follow them, please them, and stand on their side without question.
But now, when she needed help the most, when she was at her lowest, Brie and Danica were the ones saying those words to her.
All of a sudden-
Something clicked in Tyne’s mind.
Did she really hate Cassia that much? Thinking back, when Cassia first transferred into their class, Tyne had felt nothing.
She didn’t like her, but she didn’t dislike her either. Cassia just wasn’t the kind of person she felt drawn to be friends with.
Later, it was Danica who kept whispering in her ear, listing all the bad things about Cassia. Over time, without even realizing it, Tyne started to feel annoyed whenever she saw Cassia. She even took those stories and spread them all over, repeating them to everyone she met.
As for Bric–the ever–so–perfect older sister–she kept saying she cared about Cassia but never actually did anything. When rumors were made, she let them spread. When people talked badly about Cassia, she never stopped them.
Now that she thought about it, Cassia had never really done anything that deserved her hatred.

The more she thought, the deeper Tyne sank into regret and confusion.

“Brie, just give her some money and send her away,” Vance whispered, afraid of embarrassing the Woods and worried things might get messy.
Brie felt annoyed. She’s Danica’s best friend. Why should I be the one paying her?
Then she noticed Kaleb looking at her. His gaze held doubt—and a hint of disgust.
Grinding her teeth, Brie pulled 1,000 dollars from her wallet and handed it to Tyne. “You’re Danica’s friend, which makes you my friend too. Since we were friends once, I can’t bear to see you left on the streets. Take this money and use it.”
Tyne was stunned.
She stared at the cash in her hand, her expression complicated.
In the end, she took it..
What choice did she have? How else was she supposed to live? It wasn’t like she could sleep on the street.
After being kicked out of the Coles and left with a debt of 100 million, Tyne had no choice but to drop out of school and find work to pay it back.
Missing the SAT meant her life was basically over.
Wherever she tried to go, no one would take her.
That day, at the Grey Group’s Zrario branch, inside the CEO’s office, Axel stood respectfully to the side. “Boss, everything has been handled as you ordered.”
“Okay,” Draven replied calmly.
Axel’s phone suddenly buzzed with a new message.
After reading it, he looked up at Draven.
“Boss, Tyne went to a nightclub. Should we continue?”
Draven didn’t pause his hand as he clicked his mouse, playing an online game of chess against a legendary player. “Yes.”

“Alright, Boss.”

At the same time, Cassia was lying on her desk in the classroom, also playing online chess with The World.
Ever since she won the Zrario Volleyball Championship, the PE teacher had completely changed his attitude. He kept flattering her, bringing gifts, even visiting her home, apologizing over and over, and saying things like, “I’m sorry I misjudged you. Please forgive me, and if you get the chance, please put in a good word for me with the principal.”
It seemed the principal had called him in for a “chat” and told him who she really was.
By noon dismissal, Cassia planned to leave school and take the small alley to the pasta shop for aglio olio.
Before she even reached the school gate, she saw Brie and Danica standing there, surrounded by reporters.
They looked anxious, yet helpless.
Ever since the day after she won the Zrario Championship, reporters had started staking out her school and the Wood Manor.
Cassia glanced toward the alley.
Even that quiet shortcut had been disturbed.
If she walked straight out now, she could forget about peace and her aglio olio.
Not a single peaceful day. Ugh, annoying.
That was one of the reasons she kept a low profile.
Cassia pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
“If reporters keep bothering me, I’ll buy out every one of your TV stations.”
She hung up.
Not long after, the reporters crowding around Danica and Brie–and those hiding nearby- each received a phone call.

Chapter 327 Who’s the Thief?
“I didn’t steal it,” Cassia said flatly. “My fingerprints aren’t on it.”
She finished speaking and looked at the painting in Austin’s hands.
It had been hers to begin with, and she hadn’t even wanted it. Why would she steal it?
If she wanted one, she could just ask Jayden to paint another.
He could paint as many as she wanted.
