Chapter 107 A Warning
Cameron thought for a moment, then said, “How about we take a walk by the river?”
Viremont was built along the riverbank, and the scenery there was lovely.
“Sure.” Bradley nodded. “By the way, how’s school going? Do you need any help with that?”
“Thanks, Brad. I’ve already taken care of it. I’m heading back to class tomorrow, Cameron replied.
Bradley gave a faint smile but said nothing more.
Twenty minutes later, the car pulled into the parking lot of the wetlands park. The park stretched along the riverside, and with spring in full bloom, flowers blanketed the grass, and the breeze carried the soft scent of blossoms.
The wind danced across the water, leaving shimmering ripples in its wake.
The park was filled with families. Kids were flying kites or skateboarding, laughter echoing through the air.
Cameron sat quietly on a large stone, watching the cheerful crowd. The breeze brushed gently across her exquisitely beautiful face, tossing her hair in all directions.
As a child, she used to sit like this too, quietly, silently, watching her parents play with Milena.
Martin and Heidi were wealthy, but somehow, they only ever bought one of everything.
Each time, they would tell Cameron to let Millie go first. Only after Millie was done could Cameron take a turn.
But by the time Milena had her fill and gave up the toy, their parents would call Cameron back home, claiming it was getting late and time to stop.
Cameron used to feel frustrated and upset, but they always pretended not to notice.
Now, upon thinking back, her heart remained calm. There was no bitterness, no anger, because she no longer had anything to do with them.
Bradley sat beside her and handed over a bottle of soda he had brought from the car. “You really don’t take after your parents,” he said.
Cameron was much more attractive than either of them. Snapping out of her thoughts, she responded casually, “Must’ve been some kind of gene mutation.”
Bradley chuckled. “So, when are you going to deal with the procedures?”
It would not truly be over until she officially announced she had severed ties with the Wallace family.
Cameron twisted open the bottle and took a sip. “I’ll wait a little longer. Once I’ve earned enough to buy a place of my own,
then I’ll do it.”
No home, no independence.
“I’ve got a few small properties here in Viremont,” Bradley said. “I could let you have one.”
Cameron froze. She stared blankly at him, looking completely caught off guard, and honestly, pretty adorable. Bradley reached out and gently tousled her short hair.
He said, “Don’t overthink it. It’s not a gift, just a favor. Once you get your own place, you can pay me back.”
Out of nowhere, Cameron blurted out, sounding certain, “You must be filthy rich.”
Bradley did not deny it. “We’re doing okay.”
Cameron shook her head. “Still, I can’t take it. You’ve already done more than enough.”
Bradley looked at her and asked, “Then how long will it take for you to finally cut them off for good?”
No sooner had he spoken than Cameron’s phone lit up. She glanced at the screen. The number was from Viremont
After hesitating for a second, she picked up. A familiar voice thundered through the speaker.
“Cameron, where the hell did you go? Get your ass back here. Don’t think you can wave some pathetic agreement in my face and walk away like nothing happened.” Martin was furious.
Now that the Chapman family had broken off the engagement, the Wallace family could no longer rely on them for support.
With no one else to take it out on, Martin turned all his rage on Cameron.
Cameron was about to fire back when the pho Successfully unlocked! and.
Bradley gave her a calming look, then said in a professional, detached tone, Mr. Wallace, you have no legal connection to my client anymore. I’m going to ask you to stop harassing her.
“If you continue, I’ll pursue criminal charges for provocation and harassment on her behalf. Under the law, that could mean
up to five years in prison, detention, or supervised release. I suggest you think very carefully before calling again.”

Martin was stunned into silence. Bradley ended the call without wanting for a responER
