Mr. Covington
Cassandra's family has been long time friends with Mr. Covington's family, to the point that his mother gave her an engagement ring even though he hadn't personally proposed to her. They have known each other since they were kids.

In Chapter 12, Mr. Covington finally confronts Cassandra. Before, he was abiding by your wishes to handle Cassandra yourself but after watching her tear into you again, he has words with her at the governor's gala. He says he used to enjoy her company, but that she's changed for the worse. He tells her to back off but she laughs at his threats.

Your Character
When you arrive at Mr. Covington's home to tell him the news, Cassandra opens the door and immediately insults you. She shows you her "engagement ring" and kicks you to the curb. In Chapter 3, she shows up at Luisa's restaurant's reopening, calling you a homewrecker and trailer trash. This continues in Chapter 4 where you have the premium option of throwing a drink in her face. Whatever you decide to do, you must swallow your pride by the end of the chapter as you must ask her to help you with a fundraiser for Bao's dance club renovations.

In Chapter 12, at the governor's gala, you find out that she spoke to the governor and persuaded him to cut the funding on the mayor's renovation project. Even though she has always hated attending, she went specifically to undermine you.

In Book 2, although she still doesn't believe you're as good as she is, she tells you that you didn't deserve what Jebediah said to you. She also says that watching your friends rally around you has shown her what she is missing in her life: friends that actually care about her. With that and the fact that she is also disgusted by Craig Finch and his father, she offers to help you sway the Gracetown Council members to you and Mayor Dixon's ideas on renovations.
