Just as Seven walked over–while Draven was still sitting in the car–two young girls nearby kept nudging each other, whispering and swooning over him.

Even while Seven was confronting Brie, the girls were still pushing each other.

“Go talk to him!”

“No, you go!”

“Then… let’s go together.”

“Okay, together!”

But just as they finally worked up the nerve to walk over, another man stepped out of a black luxury sedan and headed toward Seven.

“Whoa! This one’s even hotter!”

The girls‘ attention instantly shifted the moment Draven stepped out of the car.

He wasn’t just handsome. He had that polished, rich–guy presence that made people look twice.

“Should we try flirting?” one girl whispered.

“He’s way out of our league. You think we even have a shot?”

They exchanged a look and quickly decided that, standing next to someone that good–looking, they might only embarrass themselves.

Before they could finish teasing each other, another girl walked out of the mall–so beautiful it almost didn’t seem real.

“Wow! She’s gorgeous. She looks better than a movie star.”

“And she’s got that cool, icy vibe too. Her presence is intense.”

Ignoring their stares, Cassia walked straight up to Draven.

“What are you doing here?”

With one hand in his pocket, Draven looked relaxed, yet still carried an easy, natural elegance.

“Just passing by.”

“Oh.” Cassia glanced back at Sterling.

“Let’s go. We’ll eat at the buffet up ahead.”

“Okay.” Sterling stood up and picked up the four shopping bags resting on the bench.

“Hey, kid, put those down. They’re heavy–I’ll carry them.” Seven took the bags from Sterling, then walked beside him, following behind Draven and Cassia.

“They look so perfect together,” one of the girls sighed, watching Cassia and Draven walk side by side, hearts practically glowing in

her eyes.

“Good thing we know our limits…”

“Wait–since that guy is clearly taken, what about the other one?” she asked, pointing at Seven.

The moment she said that, her friend shot her a warning look.

The second girl, cheeks flushed, watched Seven walking hand in hand with Sterling.

“Didn’t you see how he was protecting that boy earlier? They’re obviously a couple! Why try to interrupt them? Aren’t the two of them adorable together? Cold younger guy and loyal older guy–age–gap romance! That’s even better than the straight couple in front! I can’t handle it! I’m writing fanfiction about them tonight!”

The other girl remained silent.

Cassia and the others hadn’t walked far yet, and the girls kept watching them like they were admiring a beautiful scene, chatting and laughing as they did.

Brie stood frozen in place.

In her mind, she had always been the center of attention wherever she went. Yet those two girls hadn’t even glanced at her. Their eyes had been fixed on Cassia the whole time, praising her again and again.

It felt humiliating. Infuriating. After coming out of the mall, Cassia hadn’t even looked at her once–treating her like she didn’t exist.

Watching Cassia and Draven walk side by side toward the black luxury car, Brie clenched the hem of her dress, loosening and tightening her grip again and again before finally hurrying after them.

“Cassia, you-!”

Cassia calmly took out her phone, dialed 911, then turned the screen toward Brie without saying a word.

Seeing that, Brie stumbled back several steps in fear.

The police chief had already said Vance was arrested for interfering with Cassia’s SAT.

Judging from this, it was obvious that Cassia had been the one who called the police.

Her message was clear: Take one more step, and you’ll find yourself joining Vance.

Moments earlier, the man walking with Sterling had even joked, asking if she wanted to “go sit inside too.”

She definitely didn’t want to end up behind bars like Vance.

Grinding her teeth, Brie gave up chasing them.

She watched as Cassia and the others got into the sleek black luxury car and drove away.

As they left, the two girls also drifted off, still laughing and chatting.

Brie was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

Next time, she told herself. As long as Cassia was still part of the Woods, she would eventually find a chance to get that hundred million dollars back.

After that humiliating scene, she had no mood to shop anymore. She waved down a taxi and returned to the Wood Manor.

Inside the manor, as soon as Brie pushed open the door, she saw Victoria sitting on the living room couch watching TV.

Thinking about what had just happened outside the mall, her anger flared again, and she walked over and sat down right beside

Victoria.
