Chapter 58 Maybe I Should Give Up


    Cameron borrowed a few books from the library. On her way back to the ssroom, she stopped by a convenience store to grab some water, only to find her bank card had been frozen.


    She smirked and swapped her card for another payment method.


    Cameron had already expected this. She knew that once she tore things off with the Waces, they''d first hit her where it hurt-in the wallet.


    They think freezing my card will make me back down? They are so naive. I''ve got a new card with about 50 thousand dors on it. All thanks to Elijah, she thought as she sipped her water and checked the ss group chat.


    Other people were discussing how tough the math problem Elijah had written on the board was, wondering how long it''d take the "mysterious person" to crack it.


    Thinking of the mysterious person, Cameron chuckled to herself and thought, ''I already came clean to Elijah, but he still doesn''t believe me.


    ''Maybe I should earn a bit more from him. I''ll need some funds to hire awyer and cut ties with the Waces. Gotta be prepared.''


    She turned back to the library and soon sent an email to Elijah.


    On her way back to the ssroom, her phone pinged. It was a transfer from Elijah-30 grand.


    *****


    "Sorry, Eli, I still haven''t tracked down the guy''s location," Bradley said while standing up from his chair.


    Elijah took a soft sigh, his phone still remaining on the transfer screen. He couldn''t help but feel down, thinking, Looks like


    I really won''t find this person. They won''t show themselves, and what can I do? Maybe I should just give up.


    Bradley gave Elijah''s shoulder aforting pat.


    Bradley was about to go to the ssroom when the door swung open. Xander rushed in, nearly knocking into him.


    "Cameron, Cameron!" Xander called, almost panicking.


    Bradley raised his eyebrows at Xander''s frantic look.


    Xander looked around the whole dorm but still didn''t see Cameron. He turned to


    ask Bradley, “Brad, where''s Cameron?" Bradley asked, "What''s up? Got something to talk to him about?"


    Xander nodded and replied, "Yeah, where is he?"


    Bradley shrugged. "No idea." With that, Bradley stepped out of the room.


    Xander turned to Elijah, asking several times before Elijah finally answered in a t tone, "I don''t know."


    Xander thought to himself, ''Screw it. I''ll just check his ssroom. This has been bugging me for two days. I need to get to the bottom of it.''


    *****


    "Damn, that''s impressive. We were just talking about how long it''d take for that problem to be solved, and boom, someone figured it out already," eximed a


    man.


    A girl said, "That person is incredible. Who the hell are they?"


    Someone else chimed in, "Only took a few days to earn Elijah 100 thousand dors. Turns out knowledge really can turn into money."


    Another person joined the conversation. "That person has been staying hidden all along just to make cash off Elijah, huh?" Cameron walked into the ssroom and overheard all the chatter. She casually slipped one hand into her pocket while holding her book in the other hand, her expression as cool as ever as she made her way to her seat.


    A girl noticed Cameron and whispered, "Hey, Cameron looks even cooler today." "Wow, he changed his earring," someone remarked.


    Another girl said, "It''s obsidian, so pretty."


    "Oh my, if I''m not mistaken, that''s a new piece Sessfully unlocked! thousands of dors," a man suddenly said in &


    Fletcher. That stud alone probably costs


    Someone else asked, "Really? Are you sure? Didn''t they say the Waces are kind of broke now? There''s no way Cameron could afford such an expensive earring."


    The man replied, "I''m sure. I''m a die-hard fan of Eric Fletcher."
