She's the Campus Prince novel Chapter 428

Vincent’s words came as no surprise to Austin.

Of course, those people wouldn’t throw him a birthday party–they probably didn’t even remember what day it was.

Besides his mother and Vincent, no one would celebrate Austin’s birthday.

Vincent had spent every birthday with him, and this year would be no different.

Though everything was expected, Austin still felt as if a boulder weighed on his chest.

Staring at the scenery retreating outside the car window, Austin said slowly, “Go back to Fraser Villa.”

Although he’d never celebrated his birthday, this was his eighteenth.

Austin had planned to have dinner with Cameron tonight, even just a slice of cake, but since she’d already left, he had to abandon the idea of inviting her.

Vincent glanced at Austin worriedly through the rearview mirror again. In the end, he said nothing–all words of comfort felt hollow.

The Bentley drove into the luxurious Fraser Villa, and Austin got out.

The villa was unchanged. Austin went straight to his private cottage, and in the evening, he went to the main house for dinner as usual.

The dining table was laden with delicacies, none of which were prepared specially for Austin. This was just the Frasers‘ normal dinner standard.

“Good evening,” Austin greeted his so–called family, then quietly took his seat.

Margot, wearing bold makeup, smiled brightly at him. “Aus, you haven’t been back all week. What would you like to eat?”

Austin studied her fake smile.

In his years with the Frasers, this woman had tried countless times to kill him, yet still managed to grin at him so warmly. Margot was truly terrifying.

Austin smiled back. “Thank you, Aunt Margot. Everything on the table is my favorite.”

Edmund looked at Austin and asked, “How’s your schoolwork?”

Austin said, “It’s fine.”

Edmund immediately frowned. “What do you mean ‘fine‘? Remember, you represent the Fraser family. If you embarrass us, you’ll pay the price.”

Jeremy added, “Don’t disgrace me.”

Margot chimed in, “Aus has always been so well–behaved–he’ll do well on the exams.”

Austin gave a mocking smile. To the Frasers, nothing mattered more than reputation; otherwise, Jeremy wouldn’t have torn Austin from his mother.

The game was finally about to begin. Austin hoped they were prepared to

pay for their actions.

Despite his turbulent thoughts, Austin remained calm. “Don’t worry, I’ll do

my

best.”

Margot said, “Aus, you are such a good boy.”

Austin smiled faintly.

Margot continued, “Aus, you’re so talented at piano–applying to a music conservatory would be a great choice. Being an artist suits you.”
