The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 A Wrong Name

Tyne had bragged like crazy.

Everyone knew how bad Cassia’s grades were. Expect her to pass? Not a chance.

Tyne rolled her eyes at that idea.

Danica gave a small laugh. If she and Brie both ranked first while Cassia landed at the very bottom, the scene would be perfect.

Just imagining it made her feel delighted.

“Okay, enough about her. We’ll know once the teacher comes,” Danica said proudly.

“Yeah, sure,” Tyne muttered. She would rather not waste her breath.

While everyone waited for the scores, Cassia lay on her desk like none of this mattered.

Sacha, however, was so nervous she could barely breathe. She kept glancing at the door. When she saw the teacher wasn’t here yet, she slid over to Cassia’s desk. She whispered, “Cassia, are you not worried about your score?”

Cassia slowly lifted her head and looked at her. Her eyes were cool and unreadable. “What’s the point of worrying?” she said casually.

Sacha looked like she was about to cry. Why was she calmer than her?

“But you made a bet with Ms. Reed! If you lose, you have to withdraw from the school,” Sacha reminded her, panic all over her face. Did Cassia even understand how serious this was?

Cassia shrugged. “If that’s what happens, then so be it.”

Sacha stared into her cold, blue eyes. They looked like a bottomless ocean. “I’ll pray for you,” she said. weakly.

If she kept talking, she might pass out from sheer frustration.

“Don’t worry about me. I probably did pretty well,” Cassia said, a confident smile curling on her lips.

Sacha froze. “Then, good luck.”

She thought Cassia was just trying to comfort her.

But Cassia looked genuinely sure of herself.

Brie was just as confident.

She looked the same way–calm, confident, certain she had done great.

Brie sat quietly reading a book while waiting.

Chapter 39 A Wrong Name

+30 Free Coins

Kaleb sat a short distance away. The two shared a quick glance, then looked away at the same time.

Bric’s cheeks instantly turned pink.

Just then, a student sprinted into the classroom, shouting, “The scores are out! They’re out! Everyone can go check!”

Brie froze for a moment, then stood up.

Kaleb walked over and said softly, “Let’s go take a look together?”

For an important mock test like this, the school usually posted the results on the bui

itside.

It made it easy for everyone to see and also helped motivate the students.

The advanced class kids heard the news too and rushed out to check.

Everyone except Cassia. She hadn’t slept well last night, so she was still dozing at her desk.

Honestly, coming to school today felt like a mistake. No matter how much she slept, it never felt enough.

From far away, they could see a bright red sheet posted on the board–that had to be the results.

As soon as Brie and Kaleb walked closer, they heard complaints coming from every direction.

“Ugh, how did I score this low? What am I supposed to tell my parents?”

“Oh man, why are my points so bad? Did the teacher grade this wrong?”

“Wow, life is so unfair. Look at Kaleb; his score is amazing,” someone said with envy.

“Right? And Brie. She’s always top of the class. No matter how hard the test is, nothing seems to stop her.”

“Yeah–wait! Hold on. Why isn’t Brie in first place this time?” That student blinked, thinking he saw it

wrong.

He widened his eyes and looked again, carefully this time. No mistake. Brie was in second place.

Then who was first?

Brie stood not far away. Of course, she heard the comment. Her whole body went stiff. She didn’t move at all. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

She had always been confident. First place was hers–always.

Every exam, every test, she had held the top spot without fail.

No one knew how much she sacrificed to stay there. How much she gave up. How hard she pushed herself.

But today–of all days–this important test, and she wasn’t first?
