With speaking skills like that, there was no way she would score low on a Spanish test. But Cameron had never even passed before.
She continued, “I solved what they all believed was the hardest SAT paper they’d ever seen right in front of Mr. Drake and every single teacher.
“My score left them speechless. I proved I had what it takes to top the SATS in the entire state this year. That’s why Mr. Drake chose me.
“And that’s why Mr. Grant asked me to tutor you. You heard me right. To tutor you, and not the other way around. As for Ms. Morgan?
“She wants us to practice speaking together. And all the other teachers? Their attitude toward me has done a full 180.”
Cameron laid everything on the table. She had told Elijah all this because she really, really wanted him to stop forcing her into those painful tutoring sessions.
“So,” she asked calmly, “do you believe me now?”
Elijah was extremely shocked, and his facial expression completely froze at that moment.
Cameron had revealed too much information to him all at once. He was slowly digesting it and just stared straight at Cameron.
After Cameron finished speaking, she didn’t urge him to answer. Instead, she just calmly let Elijah look at her.
After a long while, Elijah finally spoke up and said, “So, Cameron, you deliberately pretended to be a bad student. You had no choice but to reveal you’re a top student to avoid being expelled this time?”
Cameron nodded and said, “Yeah. It’s like that sort of thing.”
Elijah asked, “Then why did you pretend to be a bad student?”
In the silence, Cameron found this question somewhat difficult to answer.
She indeed used to be a bad student. However, after world-hopping, she had done the exercises of these subjects tens of thousands of times over and over again and naturally became proficient, which she couldn’t reveal.
Cameron thought for a while and sighed before replying, “You know I had an engagement with Amelia before, right?”
Elijah said, “What does that have to do with it?”
Cameron said, “Actually, I hated arranged marriages so much and didn’t like Amelia either, but the Wallace family wanted me to maintain this marriage, so…”
“So, you deliberately made yourself look bad, and when Amelia couldn’t stand it, she would take the initiative to break off the engagement?” Elijah said his speculation.
Cameron said, “What? Oh, yeah, that’s it.”
What Elijah said made her seem a bit like a jerk who wanted to break up but didn’t initiate it, so he resorted to all kinds of cold violence to force the girl to break up first.
Elijah then said, “Since you’ve already broken off the engagement with Amelia, you can finally tell me about all of this, right?”
Cameron nodded and said, “Yeah.”
Elijah was surely a top student. Once his logic cohered, he subconsciously helped make Cameron’s lies up.
Elijah stared at Cameron and said successfully
Successfully unlocked! ully unlocked ally have gotten me, and you even earned my 100 thousand dollarstoo
After a moment of guilty silence, Cameron put her hand on her forehead and said, “
Well, you gave it to me. When I was earning that last 30 thousand dollars, I even told you that I solved those math problems you set, but you didn’t listen.”
“You insisted on rewarding me with this money. I had no choice,” she added.
Elijah fell silent because he really didn’t listen to Cameron, no matter how many times she explained to him. Every time Cameron told him the truth, he thought she was lying. Then, he awkwardly scratched his nose.
Cameron asked again, “Now, you should believe what I have said, right?”
Elijah nodded.
Cameron let out a sigh of relief and said, “You won’t give me tutoring anymore, right?”
Elijah coughed softly in embarrassment and said, “Sorry.”
Cameron could do everything, but he had been tutoring her. It was both embarrassing and funny.
Cameron said, “It’s okay. You’re nice, actually.”
Not every top student was willing to tutor a bad student. Most top students thought it was a waste of time.
Elijah seemed aloof, but he was actually warmhearted, which was very good of him.
Elijah pressed the exercise book in front of him and said, “Since you’re so good at math, try to solve this problem.”
Elijah pushed the exercise book in front of Cameron.
“All right.” Cameron had to help Elijah solve the problem he pointed at.
As Elijah watched her solving process, his usually cold eyes instantly lit up a bit.
“Cameron, you’re really amazing!” Elijah said sincerely.
Elijah had been quite proud since childhood, and it was very difficult for him to praise someone.
This made his praise of Cameron with admiration at the moment even more precious.
Cameron smiled and said, “Thank you. You’re excellent, too.”
Cameron acquired proficiency through hard work, while Elijah relied on his talent.
“Well, solve this one.” Elijah pointed out another problem at Cameron.
Before Cameron could speak, a cold female voice called her name behind her.
Upon hearing the sound, Elijah looked up and saw the person coming. He frowned slightly and said, “She’s coming for you.”
When Elijah first learned that Cameron was also a top student like him, his heart was full of glee. He’d always been the first in exams, looking down on everyone, so it was hard for him to have friends.
In fact, except for Bradley, he had no friends because the others were too stupid to be his friends.
Now, Cameron became the first peer that Elijah admired. Just when he still had many questions to discuss with Cameron, Amelia showed up, ruining his good mood.
Cameron turned her head and saw the aloof campus belle, Amelia.
When Amelia saw Cameron turn around, she said indifferently, “Come out with me.” After that, she turned around and walked out of the library.
Cameron thought, ‘Why is she so sure that I’ll follow her out?’
Meanwhile, Cameron turned back and saw Elijah. After a two-second silence, she stood up and said, “I have to go.”
Cameron chose to deal with Amelia rather than Elijah mainly because Amelia was easy to drive away, but Elijah had countless questions waiting for her to solve, so Cameron slipped away from Elijah right away.
Elijah watched Cameron leave and slowly smiled.
With the foxtail in her mouth, looking a bit ruffian, Cameron glanced at her casually and said, “I don’t think we have anything to do with each other.”
The obsidian earring in her ear sparkled in the spring sunlight.
Amelia stared at her overly handsome face and said, “You are right.”
She stared at Cameron. The more she looked, the stranger she felt.
Cameron’s skin was very delicate. Amelia was so close to Cameron that she couldn’t even see the pores on his face.
Besides, Cameron’s lips were also incredibly beautiful, with a natural pink color, as if he had put on lipstick. Also, he had longer eyelashes than Amelia, a girl.
Amelia didn’t bother wasting her time looking at Cameron.
Today, she just realized that although Cameron’s appearance was rather feminine, she was handsome and beautiful.
As a man, Cameron was very handsome, and if he dressed as a woman, he would surely be a stunner. All in all, his outstanding appearance was beyond gender.
Cameron said, “In that case, what’s the point of having this conversation?”
Amelia came to her senses and then said, “You and Bradley live in the same dormitory?”
Cameron said, “Yep.”
Amelia said, “Are you two friends?”
Cameron said, “What does it matter to you?”
Amelia was stunned, and then she was very angry at Cameron’s lukewarm attitude. After all, Cameron had been Amelia’s simp for more than a decade. Now that he suddenly treated Amelia so coldly, Amelia definitely couldn’t accept it.
But Amelia managed to suppress her anger and continued, “Cameron, I don’t need to remind you that the Wallace family has profited a lot because of the Chapman family’s aids, right?”
