Chapter 60 Apologize
“What’s got you so worked up?” Cameron let out a cold laugh and asked, “What gives you the idea I like you and I want to ) marry you?”
‘Even in my last life, when Martin and Heidi brainwashed me into kissing Amelia’s ass, I hated every second of it. I even used to curse the universe for not making Amelia a guy, or it would’ve saved me the pain of having to dress like a guy‘
The truth was, Cameron kind of couldn’t stand Amelia. However, Amelia was way full of herself to notice that.
Skyler beat Amelia to ask, “Then what are you trying to say?”
Cameron replied flatly, “I’m about to cut ties with the Wallaces, so there’s no need to cancel the engagement. It’s their thing You wanna break it off? Take it up with them. Don’t bother me. Got it?”
Amelia asked in confusion, “Cut ties with them? Why?”
“That’s none of your business,” Cameron said, not even blinking.
Amelia just stared at Cameron, like she was still processing those words.
Skyler scoffed, “What a load of crap. Amy, he’s obviously just stalling it.”
She turned around and gave Cameron a look of pure contempt. “Face it, Cameron, you’re still playing that stupid hard–to–get game. If you wanna be with Amy, then do as I say.
“Give me the photos of Elijah as I asked. Do that, and Amy will go on a date with you. So, are you taking the photos or not?”
As she talked, Skyler was winking like crazy at Amelia.
‘Guess we’re sticking with the original plan, Amelia thought to herself, her lips pressed into a thin line.
Amelia didn’t agree with Skyler’s idea at first. All she wanted was to cancel the engagement but not completely humiliate
Cameron.
But the SATs were right around the corner, and no matter what she said, she was still Cameron’s fiancée on paper. She couldn’t just walk away even though she didn’t admit the engagement herself.
Now, since Cameron wasn’t willing to play nice, she’d use whatever tools she had. She didn’t deny what Skyler said. Cameron gave Amelia a slow, amused look. “So let me guess–you want me to sneak photos of Elijah, then you’ll twist it like I’m some creep obsessed with him. That way, you’ve got a ‘real‘ reason to cancel the engagement and walk away looking clean. Is that your plan?”
Both Amelia and Skyler snapped their heads to look at each other, stunned. They wondered, ‘How the hell does Cameron know the plan? And with that much detail?‘
Cameron smirked. “You really thought I’d fall for that?”
Amelia asked with a frown, “Cameron, just tell me what it takes for you to cancel the engagement. You want money, huh? 150 grand? 300? Name your price.”
Amelia was losing her patience. If throwing money at this mess would fix it, she’d love to solve it as soon as possible. After all, her future was worth way more than a couple hundred grand. She didn’t want to waste another second on Cameron. Cameron burst out laughing. “Amelia, are you dense or just deaf? I already told you–go talk to the Wallaces if you want out.” “Get lost,” she spat, turning around and walking back into the classroom.
She thought with a smirk, ‘150 grand? 300? Trying to bribe me, huh? Sure, I like money, but only when I earn it fair and square. Even if Amelia offered me 3 million, I wouldn’t give a damn.’
Amelia stood there wide–eyed, like she’d been slapped. Her mind raced. ‘Did Cameron just tell me to get lost? He even called me deaf and dense?‘
She was used to being adored and doted on, and no one had ever dared talk to her like that. Her chest tightened, and her eyes were stinging with tears.
Seeing how shaken Amelia was, Skyler grabbed Cameron’s arm and snapped, “Cameron, apologize to Amy right now. You‘ ve gone too far!”
Cameron stared at Skyler’s hand gripping her and chat hack. “You really wanna see what ‘too far‘ looks like?”
Cameron hated being touched by other people Successfully unlocked! t like.
Skyler opened her mouth to yell again, “I said apologize–ah!”
