Chapter 62 | Brought You Money
Elijah was quiet the whole evening, clearly in a mood,
Cameron figured she could try once again to tell Elijah the truth. After all, he was the one who took her to the hotel that night when she got drunk.
So, when they were about to go back to the dorm, Cameron quickly caught up to Elijah and called out, “Elijah, hold on
Elijah stopped and turned around, his expression flat, “Yeah?”
Cameron asked, “Can we talk? Just the two of us.”
Elijah stared at Cameron for a good ten seconds before finally nodding without a word.
Cameron then pulled him into a quiet corner.
Elijah frowned, thinking. ‘What the hell does he need to say in private?”
Cameron got straight to the point. “Elijah, I’ll say it again. The person you’ve been looking for is me. You don’t believe me? Fine, I’ll show you the text from the bank on my phone.”
Cameron hadn’t deleted the text she got that afternoon. Originally, she planned to keep it from Elijah, so she hid her real account and address.
But seeing the way Elijah looked so down, she hesitated.
Elijah brushed Cameron’s hand away, frowning. “Cameron, I’m not in the mood. Don’t joke with me right now.”
Cameron rolled her eyes, thinking, ‘Seriously? He thinks I’ve got nothing better to do than joke with him?
After that, Elijah walked off with his books tight to his chest. His back was straight as ever, and the streetlight cast a long shadow behind him.
He didn’t even look back. Actually, he didn’t believe a word Cameron said.
Cameron stood there holding her phone, completely speechless. She complained, “That guy is so damn stubborn.”
She mused, ‘It’s the second time. If I try again, I’m an idiot.‘
Even Cameron’s usually calm, androgynously beautiful face showed a flicker of frustration.
It was getting late, but she didn’t rush back to the dorm. The weather had been warming up lately, and she walked at a relaxed pace.
Just as she reached the building, a girl in a school uniform came running over, yelling, “Cam, finally. I’ve been waiting for you.”
Milena, with her high ponytail and cheery smile, acted like they were really close.
Cameron shoved one hand into her pocket and walked right past Milena, that cold face barely hiding her annoyance.
“Cam,” Milena called out again.
Milena had expected Cameron’s reaction upon seeing her. After all, Cameron had already said she was cutting ties with the Wallace family, so it made sense she wouldn’t even spare Milena a glance.
Still, Milena grabbed Cameron’s arm and said, “Cam, I brought you some money.”
Cameron raised her brows, mildly amused. “Oh? You brought me money?”
Milena nodded and said with concern, “Cam, I’m sorry. Mom and Dad were super pissed and froze your card, but family fights don’t last forever. Once they cool off, they’ll unlock it. I took some of my allowance out in cash for you.”
Honestly, Milena was furious at Cameron too. She almost became the one getting prepped for the gender reassignment surgery. The idea had scared the hell out of her, and she wanted to slap Cameron to vent.
But the Wallace family still needed the Chapman family, and Cameron was the strongest tie between them. So they needed to keep Cameron on their side.
Cameron raised her brows and asked, “How much?”
Milena pulled a wad of bills from her bag, replying, “1,500 dollars, take it.”
Milena thought it was a generous amount. Handing over that much made her heart ache.
Cameron took the cash with two fingers, looking more amused than impressed. She sneered, “You think that’s enough for me to sell out my life for you guys?”
She gave a soft laugh, but her eyes were razor sharp. “Are you all delusional or just desperate?”
As she spoke, she raised the bills high and tossed them into the air.
The money fluttered down like confetti, drawing eyes from all around. Students stopped their steps and stared at the scene.

Someone whispered, “What’s going on? Who’s tossing money like that?”
