Chapter 282
Cameron sat at her desk, idly flipping through a textbook.
It was Elijah who noticed Milena standing just outside the classroom door.
He frowned.
He had never liked her much.
At the door, Milena had already asked one of the students seated nearby to call Cameron for her.
“Cameron, someone’s here for you,” the student said.
Cameron looked up, saw Milena at the entrance, and immediately dropped her gaze back to her book without a word.
Milena stared.
‘Seriously? I’m being ignored?‘
Her temper flared.
Gritting her teeth, she motioned again for the same student to call out.
“Cameron, someone’s here for you,” the student said.
“Don’t know them,” Cameron replied without even lifting her head.
The student blinked.
Milena’s eyes went wide. She was ready to scream.
“Cam! Can you come out for a second? For the sake of your little sister?” Milena called, forcing a sweet tone into her voice. “It’s important!”
Everyone in the classroom paused.
“Little sister?”
“Didn’t he just say he didn’t know her?”
Cameron still didn’t look up. “Elijah, you’re class rep. What’s the school’s policy on people interrupting study time?”
Elijah stood up calmly. “I’ll handle it.”
Cameron gave a nod. “Thanks.”
Elijah walked to the door and looked at Milena with a cool, impassive gaze. “You need to leave.”
Milena stared.
His tone dropped a degree colder. “I said, leave.”
Milena frowned. “I really do have something important to talk to Cam about.”
Elijah replied sharply, “He doesn’t want to see you. That’s obvious, isn’t it?”
Milena’s jaw clenched. “But this is really, really important.”

Elijah narrowed his eyes. “Then tell me. I’ll pass it on.”
Milena hesitated but eventually nodded. Elijah was involved, after all.
She stepped back a little so their conversation wouldn’t be overheard.
She lowered her voice. “It’s about Skyler. She was expelled, and her parents came to our house.”

Elijah gave a noncommittal look. “Skyler’s expulsion was justified,” he said. “And it was the school’s decision. Why are you dragging Cameron into it? If the Youngs have a problem, they should take it up with the school.”
Milena huffed, “That’s not the point.”
“Then what is?” Elijah asked.
Milena leaned in slightly. “Did you really get the Moore family to cut ties with the Youngs…for Cam?”
Elijah’s expression hardened. “So you’re here because the Youngs offered your family something. And now you want Cameron to speak on their behalf?”
Milena stared.
‘Smart people are the worst.
She could only nod.
Elijah’s voice turned colder. “Don’t bother asking Cameron. This isn’t up for negotiation.”
