Chapter 92 Endure
“You think I should be ashamed?” Cameron sneered. “You’ve been showing favoritism to Milena since we were kids, and you aren’t guilty. Why should I feel bad just for asking for a room?”
Martin said angrily, “You are comparing yourself to Millie? What makes you think you can even be in the same league as her?” Cameron curled her lips into a mocking smile and replied, “You’re right, Mr. Wallce. How could I possibly compare to your precious daughter Milena?
“But let’s be real here–I’m not the one being unfair. You play favorites with Milena all the time, and then turn around and expect me to give everything I’ve got for this family? You think that’s gonna fly?”
“You want to have your cake and eat it too. Wow, what a deal you’ve cooked up.”
“Cameron!” Martin shouted, furious. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting?”
Heidi patted his arm, trying to calm him down. Martin had always been domineering, and apologizing just wasn’t in his nature. In situations like this, it was usually Heidi who stepped in.
Heidi looked at Cameron gently. “Cam, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize we’d hurt you while you were growing up. Honestly, to your dad and me, you and Millie are equally important. You both are our beloved daughters.”
“Save it,” Cameron cut her off, clearly bored of the rehearsed speech. “Will you let me have Milena’s room or not? Just tell me.”
Heidi tried again. “Cam, you want a new room? How about I arrange one for you?”
“I want Milena’s room.”
“But she’s lived there for over ten years. Wouldn’t it be a hassle for you both to switch?”
“I don’t mind.”
Heidi fell silent.
Seeing that neither of her parents was giving her a straight answer, Cameron let out a scoff and turned to leave.
She had barely walked a few steps when Heidi said behind her in defeat, “Fine, fine–you can have Millie’s room.”
Cameron smiled. She put one hand into her pocket and strolled casually toward the white BMW parked by the curb.
“Mr. Wallace,” the driver muttered half–heartedly.
Cameron was well aware of how people treat others differently based on their status in this world and that the driver was very respectful to Milena. With a blank expression, she got into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.
Martin and Heidi got in the back. Heidi leaned forward slightly and said, “Cam, try to get some rest. Let’s talk more when we get home.”
Cameron glanced sideways at her. “Mrs. Wallace, there are no outsiders here. Do you really have to keep up the whole perfect wife and doting mom act? Aren’t you tired?”
Heidi fell silent, clearly embarrassed.
Martin glared at Cameron. “You better behave yourself.”
Cameron gave a half–smile. She pulled a stick of gum from her bag and popped it into her mouth, then leaned her elbow against the window, and tapped her fingers lightly twice.
She thought, ‘You can’t handle even this? Too bad there’s worse to come.”
The driver gave Cameron a strange look and thought, ‘When did this guy get this bold? He actually dared to talk back to his mother now?‘ He didn’t say anything, started the car, and drove away.
The car drove forward at a constant speed on the road. It took about half an hour to get from Langford Academy to Wallace Villa.
When they arrived, Cameron got out of the car and slammed the door shut.
Martin’s face darkened instantly. Standing by the car, he wished he could rush over and teach Cameron a lesson.
Heidi patted his arm and whispered, “Just hold it in. Once she finishes the gender reassignment surgery and officially gets engaged to Amelia, everything will be fine.”
Martin still looked furious. But in the end, he said nothing. He knew he had to be patient for the bigger picture.
They’d acted too rashly last Friday, and now Cameron’s coldness was the price they had to pay. For now, all they could do
was endure it.
Heidi quickly followed Cameron with a bright smile. “Cam, would you like something to drink? How about coffee? I’ll make it for you.”

Cameron simply said, “I want Milena’s room.”
“Let’s not rush-” Heidi replied.
“I want it now!” Cameron interrupted her.
