Chapter 21
Martin went quiet, completely caught off guard by Cameron’s move. He hadn’t expected her to flip it on him like that, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.
He couldn’t exactly come out and say he was here to take her in for gender reassignment surgery–not in front of Brody.

Brody, sharp as ever, caught Martin’s reaction and frowned slightly, sensing something wasn’t ri
Martin could feel Brody’s gaze on him. His mind spun fast, and he blurted out, “Rhinitis. Yeah, you’ve got rhinitis. You need surgery
right away.”
Cameron let out a cold, crooked smile, her eyes chilling. “Dad, is your memory slipping!” she said coolly. “Isn’t it Milena who has
Thinitis.
Martin stiffened. He thought. This damn brat’s really gonna go head–to–head with me now?”
He shot her a glare and quickly changed course. “Right. My mistake. It’s hepatitis.
“Hepatitis!” Cameron raised her hand, turning it slowly. Her skin was clear, smooth, and glowing. “I thought people with liver issues usually have jaundice”
Martin fell silent again, completely thrown.
Finally, Brody spoke with a frown. “Mr. Wallace, you don’t even know what your own son’s sick with?”
Martin’s face darkened in silence. Even if the Wallace family had declined over the years, their connection to the Chapmans still kept them afloat. But now, being openly questioned by a high school teacher was more humiliating than he could stomach.
He snapped coldly, “Cameron, enough with the nonsense. You’re coming with me?
“Apologies, Mr. Wallace, Brody interjected. “I just remembered Cameron has a very important test this afternoon. He can’t miss it Whatever is going on, it can wait till after school”
Martin didn’t know how to respond. He opened his mouth, trying to come up with something, but Brody raised a hand, cutting him off with a calm yet unmistakable gesture.
This was school property. And as long as the teacher didn’t sign off, Martin had no right to take Cameron anywhere.
With no choice, he shot Cameron a venomous glare, stood up, and stormed out of the office.
Cameron’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Mr. Graham, let me walk my father out”

On the tree–lined school boulevard, the midday rush had emptied out. Most students were in the cafeteria, and the walkway deverted
Marun stormed ahead with a dark expression clouding his face. Cameron trailed behind with a smile, one hand in her pocket, a hint of amusement playing across her gorgeous face beneath her short hair.
Suddenly, Martin spun around and grabbed her wrist. “Cameron, come with me. That surgery’s happening this afternoon, like it or not”

“Do you want everyone to know you’ve been forcing me to undergo gender reassignment just to marry Amelia? What do you think she li do when she finds out I’m actually a girl?”

There was no need to play nice with l
bullies.

Her words hit right where it hurt. As expected, Marths froze. The moment her threat landed, be immediately let go.
He clenched his jaw. “You should be grateful I don’t have a whip in my hand right now“.
At that, Cameron’s gaze turned icier. Over the years, anytime she’d shown a hint of rebellion, Heidi would start with tweet talk. If dai didn’t work. Martin’s whip would follow.
But her sister Milena was their golden child–spoiled rotten, handed everything she wanted, and never once scolded, not even in the slightest.
Cameron’s face was laced with mockery as she sneered, ‘Oh yeah? And if you did, what then? You gonna beat me to death?
Martin was momentarily at a loss for words.
