Cassia had never been fond of noise or chaos.

She went back to Messenger and opened the chat with her editor.

“Are you there, angel? Say something already! If you post a new chapter right now, I’ll give you the best recommendation slot on the homepage!”

At the publishing office, the editor handling Fallen of the Massacre looked seconds tearing his hair out.

The chief editor loomed beside him, his voice sharp and impatient.

He wanted to reach through the internet and drag this mystery author right out of her chair.

“Jesus Christ! It’s already five million!” the chief editor shouted, slamming his palm on the desk.

“Leslie, have you gotten in touch with the author yet?

“Hurry it up!

“Wait, her number’s in the contract! If she ignores you, call her!”

“I got a reply!” The editor jumped up, his chair screeching back. His elbow hit his water glass, sending it crashing onto the floor.

He didn’t even look down.

SkyeDreame.

That was Cassia’s pseudonym.

Her slender fingers moved across her phone in quick strokes. She typed two short words and hit send.

“Yeah, present.”

The editor’s eyes lit up. He forgot all about the water soaking into the carpet and typed furiously. “Can you post an update now, angel?”

“Don’t call me angel.”

He blinked, quickly backspacing. “Alright then, handsome, can you post an update?”

“I’m a woman.”

He froze.

“Can you post an update then, Queen Dreame?”

“If I feel like it.”

The editor had no comeback.

This woman had the attitude of a monarch.

The editor’s lips twitched in disbelief.

“Donations just hit ten million!” the chief editor yelled again, voice echoing through the office. “This guy’s lost his mind! The whole site’s lighting up with his donations! Has he gone mad?”

The editor slumped in his chair and rubbed his temple.

Fine. You win, boss lady. You’ve earned the right to be impossible.

He started typing again. “The promotion could make you a fortune.”

He thought no human alive could ever turn down money.

But then her reply appeared.

“I already have plenty.”

He stared in silence.

“I have enough to buy your entire company if I felt like it.”

The editor froze, his fingers stiff above the keyboard.

Good God. Is she another one of those untouchable rich elites too?

Cassia’s editor believed anyone who pushed away that kind of money had to be either wildly wealthy or completely unhinged.

He skimmed her novel a moment earlier.

No ordinary mind could have written something that intense.

Chapter 97 Stand in the Corridor

Cassia left Messenger because she had zero interest in wasting breath on him.

She updated Fallen of the Massacre every single day since chapter one.

She never wrote for profit or fame. She wrote because it soothed her. She poured her feelings into the story the same way people filled journals.

She never imagined the book would explode in popularity.

She had skipped her update last night only because she had been busy with gemstone gambling.

She had plenty of readers, but only one person had ever thrown down more than ten million

at once.

This reader who called himself “Draven” qualified as a full–blown devotee. She never expected him to be this frantic over a missed chapter.

She no longer felt tired, so she planned to write two fresh chapters on the spot.

Cassia opened her author dashboard just as her homeroom teacher, Lilian, walked toward her.

Lilian spotted the phone in Cassia’s hand and halted beside the desk.

“Heh, this is about to get interesting,” Danica whispered with smug delight.

Lilian waited. Cassia never lifted her gaze. Cassia acted like her phone held more value than the entire class. That irked Lilian.

Senior year was brutal. Lilian could tolerate Cassia sleeping during lessons because she could ignore that. But Cassia scrolling on her phone crossed every boundary she had.

Cassia clearly believed Lilian had no power over her.

“If you touch that phone again, you’re leaving my classroom!” Lilian snapped.

Cassia lifted her head with slow, unhurried ease. She gave Lilian’s furious expression a cool glance. Then she rose from her chair.

She slid her seat back under the desk with perfect neatness. She walked out of the room. She stood in the hallway and kept using her phone.

The classroom went so silent that a single pencil drop would echo. Every student stared at Cassia with wide eyes.

So this was the presence of the girl who had sat at the top of the grade twice in a row.

Danica grabbed the chance to twist the knife.

“Oh look. The farm girl finally understands her place. Sitting here is a waste of actual space.”

“That’s right. With manners like that, she can forget about Vego University’s early admission,” Tyne replied. She was the only one to.

Yet her eyes trailed after Cassia with a quiet hint of awe.

Lilian stood frozen with her mouth hanging open. She stared at Cassia through the doorway.

Lilian had only meant that Cassia should stop using her phone in class. Or at least stop during the lesson. But this girl had marched outside and kept going without hesitation.

The thought sent Lilian’s temper spiraling. Teaching no longer seemed possible.

“That girl is unbelievable! I have never dealt with a student this outrageous! If she did not have a real shot at the Vego University recommendation, I would not waste one second on her!”

Cassia did not care at all.

She leaned against the wall with effortless grace. Her legs crossed at the ankle. She looked relaxed and defiant, as if the hallway belonged to her.
