Austin was reading in his room at Traker Vi.


    Suddenly, the door burst open violently, making Austin frown. He didn''t even need


    to press


    He slowly turned around, putting on a stat


    startled look. There was even a flicker ofke concern on his face as he asked,


    "Sam, what''s up?"


    Samuel strode in and held out his hand. "Your phone


    Austin looked confused. "HuhT:


    Samuel snapped, "Give me your damn phone, you punkt".


    Samuel didn''t wait. He lunged forward and snatched the phone from Austin''s ha


    undocking it with a quick facial scan. Then, ha lett Austin''s room.


    Austin was stunned, unable to process what was going on. But when it hit him, he leapt up and chased after Samuel "Sam, give it back


    "Mr. Austin." The bodyguards blocked his way. "You should feel


    el lucky that Mr. Samuel wants to use your phone. Just stay put and behave."


    Austin just looked at them with an incredulous expression.


    He knew he was no match for the bodyguards, so all he could do was watch helplessly as Samuel scrolled away on his phone.


    But Austin wondered, ''What does he want to do with my phone anyway?"


    Meanwhile, Samuel clicked open the WhatsApp application and immediately spotted the pinned chat with Cameron at the top.


    He started messaging Cameron, pretending to be Austin. Then, he purposely left her on read at the end. Even when she tried to call him, he just ignored


    While Samuel waited for Cameron to fall into his trap, she sent another text


    Cameron: Okay, Aus. We''reing over now. Don''t you love those pastries from that shop outside our school? Want me to bring you some?


    Samuel frowned. "Pastries? What the hell? Just get your ass over here!"


    He replied, pretending to be Austin. [Cam, I''m not craving pastries today. Juste over.]


    After sending the message, Samuel tossed the phone aside and propped his feet up on the coffee table as a satisfied smirk appeared on his face.


    Once she walked through that door, he''d make damn sure she understood what happened to people who crossed him.


    -Moreover, not only had Cameron pissed Samuel off, she''d used him and made a fool out of him, and he wasn''t going to let that slide.


    Cameron stared at the message from "Austin", then burst outughing. As expected, her gut feeling was night. The person she was chatting with wasn''t


    Austin at all.


    Even though they tried to copy Austin''s way of talking, there were still ws in their act. One little test, and they slipped up right away.


    There wasn''t any pastry shop outside their school to begin with


    Cameron sent another text. (Aus, didn''t you say that a few pastries from that shop always help whenever you lose your appetite? Wait for me, I''lle over as soon as I buy them. I''ll be quick.]


    Cameron was sure that the person texting her, pretending to be Austin, was Samuel, which meant he already knew she''d cut ties with the Wace family.


    She thought, she really trying to hire me into a trap! Not bad, that''s retually a pretty smart move Well, bet him wall thek?


    Samuel waited for two hours, but Cameron was still nowhere to be seen


    It shouldn''t take two hours to get here from Langford Academy. He frowned,


    thinking, "What on earth is that damn kid doing?"


    Samuel finally lost his patience and sent Cameron another text, Cam, why aren''t you here yet?]


    Cameron deliberately y waited a few minutes before replying.


    Cameron: Aus, sorry. There''s a car ident ahead, and the whole road is


    blocked. I''ve been stuck on this


    road for a long time. Please wait a bit longer.


    I''m leaving the car now. After walking past this street and catching another ride, I''ll arrive soon.)


    Samuel read the text, and he waited for another two hours. It was already 7 PM in the evening, and the sky had turnedpletely dark
