Chapter 175 Starting A Business?
Skyler looked like she wanted to protest–but didn’t dare say a word.
There was no way she’d risk pushing Cameron any further.
If the Moore family really cut ties with the Youngs, Mark would lose his mind. Or worse–take it out on her.
She turned toward Amelia and snapped, “Why didn’t you say anything to help me?”
Amelia shot her a cold look. “You dug your own grave. What do you want me to do?
Skyler’s mouth opened…and then shut again.
Later, at the cafeteria, Cameron stood with his hands in his pockets and said breezily, “Elijah, since you helped me out back there, breakfast’s on me. Order whatever you want.”
Elijah raised an eyebrow.
“Something light. It’s too early for anything heavy.”
He ordered porridge and a few simple sides.
Cameron stared at his tray, unimpressed.
She grabbed a waffle with a couple extras and pushed it toward him. “Here. You’re welcome.”
Elijah didn’t hesitate–he took a bite, then glanced over seriously, and asked, “When’s your dad free? I need to schedule a meeting with mine.”
He was serious.
If the Wallace family didn’t step up soon, they’d keep getting looked down on by people like Skyler.
All it took was someone looking soft or “too pretty,” and suddenly they were fair game.
Cameron sipped her porridge slowly, already guessing what Elijah was trying to do–he wanted to arrange a business talk with her father, Martin Wallace.
Not gonna happen.
She had severed all ties with the Wallace family.
Whatever they did now had nothing to do with her.
She smiled. “Would your dad be open to doing business with me directly?”
Elijah blinked. “What?”
Cameron leaned back, tone casual. “I’m old enough now. I plan to start a business of my own. Since we’re classmates, I thought maybe you could introduce me.”
Elijah looked at her for a moment and then said, “I mean… I could. But what kind of business are you thinking of?”
Cameron smiled. “Your family runs hospitals, right? I want to open a pharmaceutical company.”
Elijah raised an eyebrow.
“You’re still in high school. My dad’s not exactly the easiest person to pitch to…”
“I’m not asking you to pitch for me,” Cameron replied calmly. “Just get me in the door. I’ll handle the rest.”
Elijah hesitated, but seeing,the confidence in her expression, he nodded. “Alright. I’ll talk to him this weekend.”
“No rush,” Cameron said. “Let me prep first. I still have work to do.”
“Let me know when you’re ready,” Elijah replied.
Cameron gave him a quick “OK” sign.
To legally start a company, she’d need to be a registered adult, and technically, she still had a ways to go before graduation.
So for now, she’d focus on assembling the right people and saving more startup capital.
Starting a pharmaceutical company wasn’t exactly a side hustle.
After breakfast, they headed back to class.
Once they were seated, Cameron stretched ou
Successfully unlocked!
“Come on, give it to me,” she said.
Elijah looked up. “What?”
“The math problems, duh,” Cameron replied.

Elijah raised an eyebrow.
‘He’s being unusually proactive.’
Still, he passed her a packet of advanced math problems. “Try these,” he said.
“Got it,” Cameron said, heading back to her desk, uncapping her pen, and diving straight in.
Elijah watched her quietly for a moment, eyes following the way she focused, brows slightly furrowed as she worked through the problems without hesitation. And at that moment, a thought crossed his mind. ‘Maybe Amelia really had let something good slip away.’
