Chapter 103 Troublemakers
Martin, Heidi, and Milena looked grim. The very thing they had feared the most had finally happened
It was clear that the Chapman family had pulled some strings. But now that they had come knocking, the Wallace family had no choice but to greet them with forced smiles.
With a laugh that clearly lacked warmth, Heidi said, “Kate, come on, it’s not that serious Cameron being suddenly expelled -there’s got to be some kind of misunderstanding Once it’s cleared up, I’m sure he be back at school like normal Milena turned to Amelia and added gently. “Amelia, you know Cameron. He’s a good kid. This has to be some sort of mix up.” Amelia replied coldly, “I don’t know him. And I don’t care to” She had made up her mind. She came today for one reason, to call off the engagement. No matter what excuse the Wallace family came up with, this engagement was ending today Milena froze for a second, lips pressed together in silent frustration. Amelia’s words had humiliated her.
This is all Cameron’s fault, she thought bitterly. If she had managed to win Amelia over sooner, I wouldn’t have to sit here and endure this.”
Martin’s tone dropped a few degrees colder. “Calling off an engagement is no small matter. And with Cameron not even here right now, this really isn’t the time.”
Heidi quickly chimed in with a smile, “Exactly. If you’re going to call it off, both of them should be present, don’t you think?” She was secretly relieved that Cameron had left the house the night before. If he had stayed, she had no idea how they would’ve gotten through this.
Amelia frowned and looked over at Kate. Kate gave her a subtle shake of the head, signaling her to stay quiet. Kate would handle it.
Kate spoke up calmly, “When the engagement was arranged, Cameron and Amy hadn’t even been born yet. So now that it’s being called off, what does it matter if they’re here? The four of us parents are present. That’s enough.”
Heidi was caught off guard. Martin retorted, “That was then. Things are different now. They’re both adults. Their wishes should be respected.”
Matthew’s expression darkened. “Martin, let’s cut the nonsense. You and Heidi clearly don’t want to break off this engagement. Don’t think I don’t see through your little game.
“I let you get away with things in the business world out of respect for our decades–long friendship. But I won’t let you ruin my daughter’s future.”
He had long grown tired of being bound to the Wallace family. Whether they liked it or not, the engagement would be dissolved today.
A cold voice rang out from the doorway. “And what does your daughter’s happiness have to do with me?”
Everyone had been so caught up in their argument, they had not noticed Cameron and Bradley standing silently by the door. The moment that voice echoed through the room, every head turned. Reactions varied from shock to confusion. Martin, Heidi, and Milena were stunned.
‘Why is Cameron back? And at a moment like this? And who’s the man with her?’ they wondered.
Martin and Heidi exchanged uneasy glances. ‘Could this man be the reason Cameron decided to return to living as a woman? they both wondered.
Milena, on the other hand, instantly recognized Bradley. Even now, she could not help but be drawn to him.
Matthew and Kate, however, were quietly thrilled.
‘Cameron’s back. That means Martin and Heidi have no excuse to avoid it anymore. The engagement is as good as over, they wondered.
Meanwhile, Amelia slowly rose from the couch. Her gaze passed briefly over Cameron’s face before landing on handsome man standing beside her.
Bradley? What’s he doing here?‘ she wondered. Her heart skipped. She glanced down at her plain white dress, suddenly self–conscious.
She had not dressed up at all today. Thinking she was only here to end the engagement, she had just thrown on the first thing she saw in her closet. Now she deeply regrettet

this?
‘What a waste. If I had known Bradley was coming back, I would’ve made sure to look amazing, she thought in frustration. Bradley, of course, had already noticed Amelia. He gave her a small, polite nod. After all, they were classmates.
