Chapter 185 Amelia Stepped In
The sudden voice of a girl cut through the tension.
Tyrell and the others turned around to see a girl approaching them, dressed in Langford Academy’s uniform. Her long,
sleek hair flowed like silk, and her stunning face was framed with cool detachment
Her legs, long and slender beneath the skirt hem, carried her toward them with unhurried confidence.
The boys, who moments ago looked like they were ready to throw punches, froze blace, clearly captivated.
‘Damn. Amelia was gorgeous. Perfect face. Flawless body. Like the universe decided to flex a little
She stopped in front of them, frowned slightly, and asked, “What exactly are you guys doing?”
“I… We… I mean…” Tyrell stammered, backing up a couple of steps.
Amelia ignored them completely. Her gaze shifted to Cameron, sharp and curious.
“Cameron, why are you just standing there? Weren’t we supposed to grab dinner together?” She arched a brow as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Cameron blinked.
‘She is helping me? That…is unexpected‘
Cameron wasn’t the type to turn down a timely rescue.
Of course, she played along.
“Oh. Right, I almost forgot,” she said and then casually walked over to Amelia.
It wasn’t until the two of them got into the white Maserati and drove off that the boys realized what had happened.
“Shit!” Tyrell cursed, jaw tight. “That brat got away!”
Inside the car, Cameron sat quietly by the window, watching the streets rush past in reverse. “Just let me out up ahead,” she said. “Thanks for stepping in.”
She turned to Amelia. “I owe you one.”
Amelia’s voice was calm. “You don’t owe me anything.”
She didn’t ask what happened back there or why Cameron had been surrounded.
The truth was, Amelia still felt a sense of guilt toward Cameron.
She’d once planned to use some pretty underhanded methods to force a breakup, even going so far as to bribe the school to expel her.
If it hadn’t been for the engagement, she never would’ve done those things.
Helping him now? It was the least she could do.
Cameron smiled faintly.
Whether or not she owed a favor–that was Amelia’s decision. But whether or not she’d repay it, that was hers.
The Maserati turned the corner and pulled over.
Cameron gave a small wave as she stepped out.
Amelia sat in the car, watching as Cameron’s figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
‘He really has changed…into someone unrecognizable.‘

Meanwhile, in Noble Vista…
Bradley pulled into the upscale community behind the wheel of a black Mercedes and immediately spotted three vaguely familiar figures arguing with the security staff.
“I told you–my son owns property here! Why can’t we wait for him inside?” Martin Wallace snapped. “This is how you treat family members of your residents? Open the gate or I’m filing a complaint!”
They couldn’t wait any longer. Ever since they found out Cameron owned a fifteen–million–dollar property in Noble Vista, Martin, Heidi, and Milena had been itching to a
Successfully unlocked!
As soon as school ended, they’d dragged Miler.a over, (lead set on getting that house transferred to her name. After all, that house should belong to the Wallace family.
The security guards looked helpless.
They had no idea who these people were, and Cameron wasn’t answering her phone.

There was no way they could just let them in.
The Mercedes rolled to a stop, the window lowered, and Bradley’s elegant, refined face came into view.
“Mr. Saunders,” one of the guards greeted him eagerly.
“Bradley?” Milena lit up in surprise and then quickly turned excited. “Ask him! He knows my brother, and he knows us. Just ask if we’re really family.”
She looked at Bradley expectantly.
The guards quickly filled him in, knowing that Cameron’s house had been purchased by Bradley. The two had to be close.
“Mr. Saunders,” one of the guards asked carefully, “are these people really Mr. Wallace’s farmily?”
Bradley didn’t even hesitate. “No, they’re not.”
