Chapter 66 The Unexpected Fame
For a long time, their class had always been pushed down. But tonight, they finally held their heads high.
All because of Cassia. Their class earned a wonderful score.
Everyone was lifting Cassia up like she was a hero. Lilian couldn’t believe her class actually had someone this gifted. It felt unreal.
Maybe now Selena would stop acting like she owned the world.
Everyone always thought the honors class was the best at everything–well, not tonight.
Tonight, the advanced class beat them fair and square.
After Cassia finished her performance, she answered a phone call and quickly left.
She was the champion of the evening, but because she had something urgent to do, she didn’t even stay long enough to accept her trophy.
Second place went to Brie. She walked onto the stage like she was walking toward a punishment. To her, second place felt like a humilation.
Brie was at a lost. She had always believed the trophy was hers. Now she had to bring home a runner–up prize.
How was she supposed to explain that to her parents?
She had always been their pride, but ever since Cassia arrived, she’d been pushed into second place–again and again.
Cassia winning didn’t surprise anyone.
Everyone agreed she deserved it.
Danica acted like she was happy for her, but inside she was grinding her teeth in hatred.
If she had known Cassia would actually win first place, she would never have added Cassia’s name to the list.
She had planned to embarrass Cassia, not help her win everyone attention. Now it just felt like she had dropped a rock on her foot. Big time.
That night, the school forum exploded. Someone uploaded the full video of Cassia’s performance. Many students saved it right away so they could replay it whenever they

In just a few hours, Cassia gained a whole army of fans. People were cheering for their new idol, leaving comments and hearts everywhere.
Brie’s video also appeared online. To be fair, her performance wasn’t bad. It was beautiful and elegant. But when placed next to Cassia’s? It was like comparing a star to the moon.
Cassia’s entrance alone had a power that completely overshadowed her.
Brie logged on the forum and saw all the harsh comments. People said she wasn’t special anymore, that she was yesterday’s campus bella, and now she was second in everything. Her face turned red with fury. She almost smashed her laptop.
Danica saw the posts too. Her expression was complicated. She wanted to comfort Brie, but everything online was true.
And the most annoying part? Everything had been normal before Cassia came home. Ever since she came back, everything has felt upside down.
Because their school was well–known, the video spread even further. Soon people outside the school were watching it too. Someone uploaded it onto a major online platform, and the views skyrocketed.
Suddenly, Cassia was like a rising celebrity. People were dying to know what she looked like under the mask.
Rumors about her spread nonstop.
Even Jake heard the news.
Jake called first. “Cassia, are you planning to join the entertainment industry? If you are, I’d love to volunteer as your manager.”
Cassia was baffled. “What are you talking about?”
She didn’t understand a single word he just said.
“You’re famous. Check the news online,” Jake reminded her.
Cassia quickly grabbed her phone. One look and her heart sank. She was already in the top three trending searches.
She rushed to her computer, sat down, and her fingers flew across the keyboard. Lines of code flashed on the screen. Within moments, every headline and video about her vanished from the internet.

Jake had been scrolling through them too. But right before his eyes, everything disappeared -clean, fast, and without a trace.
He couldn’t help but let out a sigh. Cassia really was something else.
A total powerhouse. Quiet, skilled, impossible to define. She was powerful but still so low- key. He admired her more than ever.
Is there anything she can’t do?
Hundreds of posts gone in under two minutes, without leaving a single footprint behind.
In a villa in Zrario, Draven sat in his study, watching Cassia’s piano video on his computer.
