Chapter 244 Elijah Stepping in
“Cam, I saw the announcement. Congrats
“Thanks. Is there anything else?” she asked, straight to the point
This time, Austin was the speechless one
Man, Cam is really blunt, Austin thought. Nevertheless, he kept emiting ‘Cam, wart to celebrate tonger
Tm busy,” she sai
Austin coughed a few times, his face slightly pale.
Cameron glanced at him. “Seriously, I’m busy. How about I treat you guys to dinner in a couple of days?
She clearly meant Bradley and Elijah, too
Austin grinned. “Alright, Cam, I wait for your message”
Cameron waved and rode off on her shared bike. Meanwhile, Austin watched her leave, that familiar knowing smile still on
his face.
Cameron made it back just before evening study. The moment she reached the classroom doo, the spotted Milena lurking nearby.
*Cameron, Milena called, half–excited, half–nervous.
“Get lost,” Cameron replied coldly, not even slowing down as she entered the classroom
“Cameron.” Milena rushed forward and grabbed the comer of Cameron’s shirt. “You can’t be this selfish.”
Cameron glanced down at Milena’s hand that was clutching her shirt. Her gaze was so cold that Millena’s fingers
instinctively flinched, but she still wouldn’t let go.
Cameron smirked. “You and your parents keep showing up just for that 300 thousand dollars, right?”
“So what if we are?” Milena snapped, righteous as ever. “That money should go to the family. You think it’s right for you to keep that much to yourself?”
Students were passing by on all sides. These days, Cameron was practically a campus celebrity, and a confrontation like this with another girl naturally drew attention.
Cameron’s face stayed expressionless. Milena, on the other hand, was growing desperate. She had finally found out that Cameron wasn’t really her sister. If Cameron wanted to cut ties, she had no say about it.
But the Wallace family had raised Cameron for eighteen years, and they wanted Cameron to repay them.
Milena used to think that the agreement didn’t really matter, but now, she was actually panicking.
So, when her parents told her that they couldn’t get into the school, she decided to take this on herself, even though she knew she’d be in trouble if Xander found out.
“So it’s not okay for Cameron to have the money, but it’s fine if you take it?” Just as Milena finished speaking, a cold male voice cut in.
Milena froze, Elijah, donned in the school’s blue uniform, stood beside Cameron, sharp–eyed and cold–faced. He’d seen the whole thing unfold from the start.
He held his pen for a while, thinking it over before finally stepping out. After all, Cameron’s family drama wasn’t really his business.
But the moment he walked out, he overheard what Milena said. He thought, ‘So Milena was here to ask Cameron for money?”
Cameron was just a student, and the prize money came as a surprise to her too. Elijah was baffled at how her family had the nerve to ask her for it.
It made sense why Cameron suddenly started living in the dorm this semester, and why he didn’t go back to W. during the holidays, but stayed elsewhere.
Villa
Elijah’s words left Milena speechless. But she was quick on her feet and immediately said, “Of course I didn’t mean that for me. It’s for my parents.”
