Tyrell scratched his head. “Xan, I said he wasn’t in the dorm, not that he wasn’t at school.”
Xander had no words.
Bradley adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, asking, “Xander, why are you looking for Cameron?”
Xander’s eyes darted around, and he thought Cameron’s family stuff was better kept quiet.
He said, “I need him to tutor me. The SAT’s coming up, and I’m freaking out.””
Bradley snorted, “With your grades, freaking out won’t help.”
Xander had no words. With that, Bradley went into the dorm.
Xander glared at Tyrell. “Was he just looking down on me?”
Tyrell scratched his head. “Seems like it.”
Xander grumbled, “What gives him the right to look down on me?”
Now that he knew Cameron was fine, Xander had the mood to be petty
(A.)
Tyrell said, “Xan, Mr. Saunders always ranks in the top ten. I guess he does have a little bit of a right to look down on you.”
Caught off guard by the insult, Xander’s expression turned solemn instantly. Sensing trouble, Tyrell took off running.
Xander immediately chased after him, yelling, “Say that again, I dare you!”
Class 4, Senior Year.
“Hey, did you guys hear? Cameron’s family pissed off the Fraser family, and overnight, they went bankrupt. Their villa’s trashed, and I heard his dad was driven to jump off the roof. It’s brutal.”.
“Yeah, I heard. That’s just too much. Of all the people to mess with, they had to pick Samuel. That guy’s ruthless. The Wallace family’s done for.”
“What future could the Wallace family possibly have? They were only hanging on because of Cameron’s engagement to Amelia in the first place. Now that the Chapman family’s out of the picture, they’re nothing.”
“It’s such a pity for Cameron. He’s really handsome, but with a family like that, what can he do?”
“Exactly. No matter how hard Cameron works, he’s never getting out of this. Some people are just born lucky. If you don’t have it, you just don’t. They can only dream about having it.”
Amelia was working on her language test and frowned a little when she heard her classmates whispering.
She wondered, ‘Cameron’s family had fallen to that state? What did they do? Why did they get on Samuel’s bad side?’
After thinking it over, Amelia put down her test paper and left the classroom.
When Cameron heard a classmate say someone was looking for her, she glanced up and saw Amelia waiting outside the classroom.
She was stunned to see that. With her classmates giving her curious, knowing looks, Cameron stood up and walked out of the classroom.
In the hallway, Amelia asked seriously, “Are you okay?”
Cameron didn’t know what to say. She had no idea why Amelia suddenly came over to ask her that.
Still, she answered honestly, “I’m fine.”
Amelia said, “Cameron, I heard about what happened to your family.”
Cameron understood what was going on now. It seemed that Amelia had found out about the Wallace family’s situation, and was here to check on how Cameron was doing.
Cameron thought, ‘She used to avoid me like the plague, and now, she’s suddenly concerned? Or is she still hoping I’ll help her get together with Bradley?’
“Cameron, if you ever need help, I can lend you some money,” Amelia added.
Cameron replied, “Amelia, Brad said he’s not looking to date anyone at this moment.”
Amelia froze for a second. When she realized what Cameron meant, her pretty face flushed red, and she walked off without another word.
Amelia thought, ‘Did Cameron really think I came here because of Bradley? He said Bradley’s not looking to date anyone now? Honestly, I don’t have ti
Tay headspace for this right now.
‘There’s just over a month left until the SAT, and all my focus is on revising for the test. Right now, nothing matters more than the exam to me!
Cameron was stunned when Amelia left without a word. It made her wonder, ‘Was I too blunt? Oh well, the truth might sting, but it’s suit the truth:
Cameron just shrugged and headed back to class, where she could feel her classmates giving her sly, knowing looks.
“Hey Cameron, does the campus queen still have feelings for you or what?”
“Was your engagement called off because you two were forced into it?”
“Come on, stop messing around. Haven’t you heard about Cameron’s family?”
“Oh, right. Yeah, I know about that.”
Cameron quietly returned to her seat without a word as she thought, ‘Are they talking about my family? So everyone already knows about the Wallace family going bankrupt? Whatever, let them talk.’
Elijah leaned over, asking curiously, “Cameron, what are they talking about?”
Cameron said, “They’re talking about the Wallace family. That has nothing to do with me
Elijah smiled. “Exactly.”
Whatever happened to the Wallace family had nothing to do with Cameron
However, Cameron was halfway through her evening study when the three members of the Wallace family showed up at her classroom door
“Cameron, get out here!” Martin bellowed.
After everything that had happened, Martin ended up on the rooftop. When Heidi and Milena found him, they were so scared they nearly passed out.
Luckily, they managed to talk him down in the end. Overnight, the three of them became strays without a home. They were at a total loss about what to do next.
That was when Samuel sent someone to find them. Samuel explained that he targeted them the first time because Cameron pissed him off, so her family had to take the hit for her.
Cameron set him up the second time, leading to the Wallace family going bankrupt and losing everything.
And that wasn’t even the worst of it. Samuel also told them that Cameron had pocketed 15 million dollars of compensation for the Wallace family for herself.
Upon hearing that, the three were riled up. They were in disbelief that Cameron took the money when she wasn’t even part of the family anymore.
Hence, the three of them stormed straight into the school. At this point, they didn’t care about anything else.
Cameron knew these three were about to lose it. If she stayed in class, her classmates would just watch the drama unfold.
Not wanting to make a scene, Cameron asked the teacher for leave, patted Elijah on the shoulder to calm him down, and then left the classroom.
“Let’s head outside the school and find somewhere to talk,” Cameron said.
Even though Milena wanted the 15 million dollars in Cameron’s hands, what scared her more was Xander suddenly showing up and exposing her for pretending to be Cameron.
Milena rushed her parents. “Mom, Dad, let’s go outside to talk. It’s really not a good place to talk here.”
Considering how Milena was still a student at this school, Martin agreed to Cameron’s suggestion.
With that, the four of them ended up at a caf? several blocks away from the school,
They booked a private room and randomly told the waitress to bring them four cappuccinos.
Heidi glared at Cameron, full of resentment. “I never thought you’d have the guts to pocket 15 million dollars.
The old Cameron would’ve never dared pull a stunt like this, but now, she had some serious guts.
Cameron stayed calm, like she wasn’t even surprised. “Pocket it? What do you mean, pocket it? I was the one who got that m into my pocket? If you want it, go ask Samuel for it yourself.”
Why shouldn’t it ge
Milena snapped, “Samuel is the one who told us to come get it from you.”
Cameron smirked. “Figures.”
Heidi demanded, “Cameron, hand over the money.”
Cameron smiled. “Nope.”
Martin said, “That money was compensation for the Wallace family. What right do you have to keep it all to yourself!
