Even through the phone, Helen flinched, nearly dropping her phone.
“Helen,” Lance said sternly, “I don’t want to hear that from you again if you dare mention this to Mom, you’ll regret it.”
Startled, Helen quickly replied, “Sorry, Lance, I spoke out of turn. I promise I won’t say anything to Aunt Jacqueline.”
“Good,” Lance said before ending the call abruptly.
Helen heaved a sigh of relief, leaning weakly against the car.
This was a forbidden topic in the Yates family.
Years ago, Lance’s mother, Jacqueline Yates, had given birth to a stillborn child and was so heartbroken she’d nearly committed suicide. Since then, the family had treated this as an unmentionable taboo.
Seeing Cameron today, Helen had momentarily forgotten the rule.
Luckily, she’d called instead of bringing it up in person-otherwise, Lance would have lectured her.
Lance was was perfect in every way, but he was too intimidating. She’d been afraid of him since childhood.
“Ms. Yates, shall we leave now?” A bodyguard stepped forward respectfully.
Helen shook her head. “Wait”
She wanted to see Cameron again. The teenager looked so much like Lance, but he seemed fresh and even cute, probably a warm-hearted person.
After waiting over an hour, Cameron finally finished her driving test.
Helen quickly got out of the car and blocked Cameron’s path. “Hi,” she said with a smile.
“Hi,” Cameron nodded politely and tried to walk past.
But Helen held out her hand. “Can I have your number? I’m Helen.”
“Sorry,” Cameron said softly, shaking her head. Defing hit on was nothing new, and her usual response was polite rejection-no exception this time.
Helen froze for a moment, then followed Cameron. “Um, handsome, I mean no harm. You really look like my brother, so can I get to know you?”
Cameron stopped. “I’m sorry, I
I’m in a hurry”
Helen hadn’t expected this fresh-faced hunk to be so cold, and it seemed Cameron had misunderstood her intentions.
Helen didn’t give up. “Handsome, I’m really not here to cause trouble. I just want to be friends.”

Cameron ignored her and hailed a tax, leaving Holen stunned.
Onlookers who’d witnessed Helen’s failed attempt to chat up Cameron couldn’t help snickering, but Helenshrugged it off and got back in her ca
A bodyguard asked, “Ms. Yates, should we follow that
Holen shook her head, Cameron’s attitude was clear-if she kept pursuing, it would cross into harassment.
Cameron’s driving test went smoothly, and she returned to school just in time for lunch.
After lunch, Cameron Voluntarily went to the library to tutor Xander.
Xander had done well in the last practice test, so he was now even more motivated to listen to Cameron’s lessons.
He propped his head on one hand and bit the cap of his pen. “Cameron, do you believe I’ll do better in next week’s final practice test than this time?”
With only about twenty days left until the SAT, next week’s practice test would be the last one.
Cameron tapped the math problem on the desk and said, “I believe you, so look here.”
Xander sat up straight and rolled his eyes. “You’re so perfunctory.”
Cameron looked at him and said, “Alright, I don’t believe you.”
Xander said, “Really? Then I’ll definitely have to do better.”
“Can I continue the lesson now?” Cameron said.
Xander fell silent because Cameron was still perfunctory toward him.
Cameron continued teaching, but Xander was somewhat absent-minded. “By the way, Cameron, it’s Friday today. Where will you go during the holiday?
Back to Noble Vista?” Xander asked.
Cameron said indifferently, “If you don’t want to continue the tutoring, you can call it off. I won’t charge you a single extra minute.”
Xander said, “You don’t have to, I have money. Tell me where you’re spending the weekend.”
“Don’t know.” Cameron closed the textbook, stood up, and walked away. “Thirty minutes and five seconds-I’ll ignore the five seconds. Transfer me fifteen thousand dollars.”
Xander quickly followed her. “Where are you going? Why did you stop tutoring me?”
“I’m tired and going back to the dorm to sleep,” Cameron said.
Xander followed Cameron out of the library and continued asking, “Aren’t you making money anymore?”
Cameron didn’t look back and said, “Yes, you’re absolutely right.”
As Cameron walked forward, her gaze swept over a figure hiding behind a tree.
Milena was hiding behind the tree, waiting for a chance to intercept Cameron.
Seeing Cameron and Xander leave the library, she quickly ducked behind the tree again, but Cameron had already spotted her.
Cameron now viewed Milena like a sudden sighting of a stink bug. She wouldn’t stomp on the bug, just walk away coldly, for she simply didn’t care about
Milena.
“What are you looking at?” Xander followed Cameron’s gaze.
Cameron withdrew her eyes. “Nothing.” Then she walked toward the dormitory.
Xander still followed her. “Cameron, are you going back to Noble Vista tonight? If you’re not going, I won’t go either.”
Cameron said, “I’m not going back.”
Kander mumbled, “Then cleaning my house was a waste”
Cameron said, “You insisted on moving there yourself”
After a moment of speechlessness. Xander caught up with her. “Cameron, I warn you not to run around recklessly watch out for Samuel
Cameron said, “Thanks for the advice, but I have to go.” With that, she bolted away.
“Damn, are you a rabbit?” Watching Cameron disappear before his eyes, Xander held his textbooks and stared with wide eyes.
Milena watched from a distance. Seeing Xander standing there in a daze, she mentally prepared herself for a long while before mustering the courage to approach him.
Although she was currently impersonating Cameron, one day she would have to stand before Xander openly.
So she chose to appear before Xander now.
Milena deliberately coughed softly. Xander heard the sound and indeed glanced down at her. However, upon seeing Milena’s barely pretty face, he merely swept a glance and turned to leave.
Milena froze in place.
Watching xander a retreating back, Milena Elenched hei lists tightly, then slowly covered her face with has hande. Ska ?hmlibet camaron a stumbing, but she didn’t think she was so ugly that Xander would outright ignore her.
Milena had no idea how to completely replace Cameron in Xander’s heart, but no matter wheat, she wouldn’t let pa of Zaniter as her bint hope.
Before afternoon classes, Elijah asked Cameron, “Did the driving test go smoothly?”
Cameron nodded. “Yeah, perfectly.”
“Congratulations,” Elijah said, and Cameron smiled at his congratulations.
Elijah asked again, “Where are you going after school?”
Cameron found it strange-she didn’t know why everyone cared so much about where she went after school.
It didn’t really matter where she spent the weekend, but since Pearl was at Silvermoss Castle, she had to go back there.
