‘Great. Just my luck!
The moment Cameron saw her, her expression darkened.
She pretended not to notice and kept walking.
But of course, Milena wasn’t going to let her go so easily.
She had faked a stomachache and left class early just to catch Cameron between periods.
Earlier that morning, Martin had called her. He’d dug up something interesting-Cameron apparently owned a luxury property worth 15 million dollars in Noble Vista.
Noble Vista.
Every homeowner there was a billionaire-or close to it.
One of Milena’s classmates lived in that neighborhood, and the pen she used for note-taking cost over a hundred grand.
Where the hell did Cameron get the money to buy a house there?’
Fifteen million wasn’t pocket change. It had to be shady.
‘Is she doing something illegal? Fine-whatever. But she’s doing it with the Wallace family’s money. And what has she ever given back? Years of raising her, and not even a word of thanks. And now she gets to live like royalty?’
Martin and Heidi had told Milena to stop Cameron and keep her there-they were on their way.
They wanted answers.
“Cam! Wait up!” Milena called out, stepping directly into her path.
Elijah glanced over. “Is that your sister?” he asked.
Cameron’s face was blank. “Never seen her before.”
Milena frowned. “Don’t be like that. Mom and Dad are coming. I get that you’re mad, but can you at least hear them out? They said it’s important.”
“Get lost,” Cameron said flatly.
Milena froze.
Elijah narrowed his eyes slightly. Something about Milena didn’t seem like she was lying.
He remembered hearing that Cameron had a younger sister-Xander had even mentioned them fighting over that girl last night.
Still…they didn’t look anything alike.
Cameron was sharp-featured and striking, while Milena looked, well, average.
And Xander actually fought with Cameron over her?
Elijah couldn’t make sense of it.
Not wanting to get in the middle of a family issue, Elijah said, “I’ll leave you two to talk,” and walked off.
Some students nearby had paused to watch the exchange with curiosity.
Cameron had no intention of engaging. She was about to walk away when a voice called out behind her.
“Cameron!”
Martin and Heidi had arrived, blocking her path.
They were drawing too much attention.
Cameron didn’t want to cause a scene in the middle of campus.
“Somewhere private?” she said coolly.
Heidi quickly latched onto the olive branch. “There’s a caf? nearby-nice and quiet. Let’s go there, Cam.”
She reached out to grab Cameron’s arm, but Cameron stepped away without hesitation.
Successfully unlocked!
Heidi froze mid-gesture, hand awkwardly suspended in the air
She quickly pulled it back, trying to cover her embarrassment.
‘If I’d known she would grow into someone powerful enough to afford a multi-million-dollar home, I would’ve played nice a little longer, she thought.
Now she was cold and distant.
Martin didn’t say much, satisfied that Cameron hadn’t outright refused to speak with them.
Milena, trailing behind, rolled her eyes.
‘Seriously? Weren’t you just acting like you couldn’t care less about me? Now you’re being all cooperative just because Dad and Mom showed up?’
Cameron led the way, silent, while the three followed behind her.
“Slow down a bit, Cam! Wait for us,” Heidi called sweetly.
Cameron didn’t even look back.
Meanwhile, Elijah was in the cafeteria when he ran into Xander and a few guys from the basketball team.
Xander glanced around and immediately noticed who was missing. “Where’s that punk? Not eating with you?”
He still hadn’t forgiven Elijah for siding with Cameron the night before.
Elijah replied, “His parents and sister showed up.”
Xander bolted upright.
“What? His sister came? Are you serious?!”
Elijah simply looked at him without responding.
Elijah watched Xander rush out of the cafeteria, visibly confused.
It’s just Milena. Why’s he acting like it’s breaking news?”
She was wearing the Langford Academy uniform-same as the rest of them.
If Xander really wanted to see her, it wasn’t like it would be hard.
Still, Elijah gave a brief nod. “Yeah. She’s here.”
Before he even finished his sentence, Xander had already taken off.
Elijah blinked.
So did Tyrell and the rest of the guys.
Ten seconds later, Xander came sprinting back, grabbing Elijah by the arm. “Where are they? Where’s Cameron?”
“They were at the entrance to Class 15 a minute ago,” Elijah replied calmly, “but I’m not sure now.”
Xander rolled his eyes. “Useless.”
Elijah blinked.
Cameron led the trio-Martin, Heidi, and Milena-off campus and down a quieter stretch of street.
There weren’t many people around.
Cameron shoved one hand into her pocket, that sharp, elegant face set in a look of pure annoyance. “You’ve got ten seconds,” she said coolly. “Say what you came to say, or I’m out.”
Heidi laughed awkwardly. “Cam, come on, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go sit down in a caf?, okay?”
“Ten,” Cameron replied, unmoved. “Nine.”
If not for the fact that she didn’t want to cause a scene on campus, she wouldn’t have bothered speaking to them at all.
Heidi faltered. “Wait-“
Milena frowned. “What’s that attitude?”
Cameron’s stare was ice-cold. “What kind of attitude do you expect me to have toward a stranger?”
