Chapter 312
“Really?” Cameron arched an eyebrow. The news caught her off guard, but it somehow made sense.
Austin wasn’t kidding when he said Samuel held grudges. The guy clearly didn’t mess around.
Cameron showed a faint smirk. Samuel didn’t waste any time, that was for sure. She hadn’t expected him to track down Wallace Villa this fast.
She guessed this was his payback and was glad to see it.
“Is that all you have to say?” Xander sputtered, his face turning red. “Aren’t you worried? Go home and check on your family–now!”
The smile faded from Cameron’s face. She locked eyes with him. “Be honest. Are you here for me, or for Milería? If it’s Milena you’re worried about, why don’t you go to comfort her yourself?”

“Great news,” Cameron said, still beaming.
Elijah cracked a smile. “Congrats.”
“Thanks.”
Elijah could tell Cameron was over the moon. He thought, ‘For once, Xander has done something useful.
Just then, the bell rang, and Xander had no choice but to trudge back to the classroom and texted Milena again.
Xander: [Ms. Wallace, I filled Cameron in. He’s stuck in class right now, so he can’t swing by.]
Milena: [Thanks, Mr. Murphy.]
Xander: [Hey, after school–mind if I tag along with Cameron to Wallace Villa? I’d like to check on you.]
