The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Bring It On

Harold’s head was pounding from all the arguing. Finally, he snapped, “Then do you have any proof?”

All the teachers went silent.

Harold pressed his lips together and said, “Alright. Since we don’t have evidence, we can’t just accuse her. There’s another monthly test next month. We’ll see her grades then.”

“Mr. Bell, we have reasons to doubt her,” Selena pushed on. “Her written answers were almost the same as the sample answers. Her essay even got a perfect score. Maybe she copied someone’s model essay.”

She refused to let the matter go. She needed to get some answer today, or she would lose all credibility.

Harold looked at her. She was one of the school’s top teachers, and he didn’t want to offend her. “Ms. Parker, what do you want to do?”

“Call her in,” Selena said boldly. “Give her a test right now. If she still scores well, I’ll apologize. I’ll admit I was wrong. But if she doesn’t, it proves she only got her high score by cheating.” She was going all in.

Honestly, even she felt unsettled. She had watched Cassia closely that day.

Cassia had no chance to cheat.

But she also didn’t seem capable of getting such a high score.

The other teachers nodded. It was a fair idea. Real skill could stand the test.

It was Cassia chance to prove her innocence.

Harold saw the agreement and nodded. Then he asked someone to bring Cassia over.

Cassia was puzzled at first. The girl sent to get her said the principal needed her in the office, so she followed.

The moment everyone saw Cassia being called to the office, the room exploded with gossip.

“Why do

you think the principal wants to see her? Is it about her test scores?” someone whispered eagerly.

Of course it was. Her grades had caused a huge storm in Zrario High.

“Must be it. Maybe they finally found proof she cheated. Maybe she’s getting expelled,” one student said with delight.

People always enjoy watching someone else’s downfall.

“Let’s just sit back and enjoy the show,” Tyne whispered to Danica with a grin.

Danica nodded. “Good. She brought this on herself. Cheating and then scoring first place? What a joke.” She huffed. She couldn’t wait to tell her dad. This whole thing was embarrassing for the family.

If other people heard about this, their family would definitely become the joke of the week.

In their high–society circles, even a small rumor could spread like wildfire. A scandal like this? It would explode.

Cassia, meanwhile, stayed calm. Her face showed nothing–no worry, no fear.

She didn’t care at all about what was about to happen.

Cassia walked to Harold’s office. She knocked once and pushed the door open.

Inside were all the 12th–grade teachers. The moment she saw them, she knew what this was about.

It felt like she was walking in to face a dozen different punishments.

She could feel several invisible stares landing on her.

She pressed her lips together and lowered her eyes, looking polite but distant as she greeted

everyone.

Her expression stayed calm. Her blue eyes were steady and unreadable.

Harold looked at the slim girl in front of him and frowned a little.

“Do you know why I called you here?” he asked. She looked so quiet and obedient that he almost felt bad to do this to her.

She was pale and quiet, and there was something cold about the aura she carried without trying.
