Milena’s jaw dropped in delight when she heard her own scheme casually exposed like that. A broad smile instantly it up her face, and her voice grew warmer
“Hi there. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, Mena said enthusiastically
Seeing her all bubbly and excited, both Martin and Heidi turned to glance at her curiously.
“Ms. Wallace, we’ve received your submission, the woman on the other end said dry. “I just need to confirm one thing Did you write this piece yourself?
Milena froze. ‘What? Did they find out? I used Cameron’s work. Could it be that Cameron submitted it too? But I sent it in right after Xander forwarded me the photos. I must have submitted it before she did, right?
A storm of thoughts churned in her mind as she replied, “Of course, I wrote it myself. Is there a problem?
“Your piece is excellent, which is why I wanted to double check with you personally. So just to confirm one thing. This really is your original work, Ms. Wallace?” she repeated.
All Milena could focus on was the compliment. Her heart swelled with pride.
“Yes, it’s mine,” she said happily. ‘Cameron’s work is mine; she wondered.
“Understood. Thank you. Goodbye,” the voice on the other end said, hanging up immediately.
Milena’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction, her whole expression bearing.
“What’s up, Millie?” Heidi asked with curiosity.
Milena grinned. “Mom, I’m about to make 300 thousand dollars. And that’s just the beginning. I’ll be making way more than that down the line. So don’t worry. Without the Chapman family, you still have me. We’ll be just fine.”
Heidi smiled warmly. “Sweetheart, you’re amazing.”
Martin, though, looked puzzled. “How exactly are you making this money?”
Milena teased, “Dad, you’ll find out soon enough.”
That got Martin hopeful. “You really are ahead of Cameron.”
Milena scoffed, “Please. Cameron isn’t even in my league.”
Heidi nodded in agreement. “Exactly.”

Meanwhile, the cruise ship drifted slowly along the river. Cameron, enjoying the night breeze and savoring the roasted lamb, looked perfectly content.
She put down her fork. “Brad, I’m done eating. Take your time.”
“Sure.” Bradley nodded.
Cameron got up to use the restroom and decided to pay the bill on the way. But when she reached the counter, she paused
in surprise.
“Sir, the bill’s already been taken care of by the gentleman who’s with you,” the server said.
‘Brad paid already? But we agreed that I’d cover this meal, she thought.
Back at the table, Cameron sat down with a helpless smile. “Brad, we said I’d pay tonight.”
Bradley didn’t seem fazed, “Same difference.”
Cameron blinked. “Bradley, how about I transfer you the money?”
Bradley leaned back. “How about you write me an IOU instead?”
Cameron was stunned. Bradley had just finished eating as well. He calmly wiped his hands with a towel. “Cameron, how about I give you a house? You can just write me an IOU for it.”
Graduation was around the corner, and Bradley had been thinking. Cameron was still living in a dorm. Once she graduated, she could not very well go find a place to rent.
Cameron was silent for a while. Then she said, “them
‘The Wallace family is just too much trouble. It
Successfully unlocked! or all, she wondered.
Bradley added, “It’s a small place, worth about two million dollars. Just write me an IOU.”
They asked a server for a pen and paper, Cameron wrote it out carefully, then pressed her fingerprint onto the page.
Bradley took it and said, “We’ll go finalize the paperwork tomorrow at noon.”

“Alright” Cameron was deeply grateful, unsure how to even begin thanking him.
Bradley stood up, holding the 100. “I’m heading to the restroom.”
Once inside, he tore the note into pieces and flushed it down the toilet.
He smiled to himself ‘Cameron really is a stubborn, sweet boy, he wondered.
