"You''re sure about giving it up?" Cameron raised an eyebrow


    Heidi''s reaction had caught Cameron off guard. The original n had been to have Pearl lunge at Milena.


    Cameron wanted to see if Martin and Heidi would choose the 15 million-dor check or their precious daughter when pech came to shove But Martin had thrown himself into the situation on his own


    "In your dreams!" Milena shouted. "Cameron, you''re such a liar. You promised that once the paternity test results came back, if you weren''t a Maffara, you''d return the check. Now what are you doing? Threatening us to give it up?"


    Cameron''s lips quirked into a hall smile. With a tilt of her chin, she nodded toward the check on the ground. There it is. Go ahead and take it. i won''t stop you.


    Milena immediately moved to grab it.


    "Forget the check, Millie!" Heidi shouted.


    The check meant nothingpared to Martin. Without him, their whole family would fall apart.


    "Mom, don''t let Cameron scare you," Milena said. "She''s just bluffing. There''s no way she''d actually let that white tiger hurt Dad


    "if anything happens to Dad, she''d be responsible. Don''t worry, she wouldn''t dare. If you fall for this, she''llugh her head off."


    Cameron gave Milena an icy stare. "Wow, Milena. You''re such a dutiful daughter. Your dad must be so proud"


    Milena waspletely stunned. Hiding behind Heidi, she yelled, "Cameron, get that tiger away from him right now. Give me the check!"


    "Thanks for having so much faith in me, Milena, Cameron replied. "What makes you think I can control a wild animal?"


    Milena paused. "Didn''t you steal that tiger from Samuel? How can you not control it?"


    "Why don''t you try controlling it yourself?" Cameron challenged.


    Milena went silent


    Heidi watched in horror as Martiny frozen under the white tiger, barely daring to breathe. She was beside herself with worry. "Mille, stop talking!" she shouted. "We don''t want the check anymore!"


    "Mom, don''t fall for Cameron''s trick, Milena insisted. "She really wouldn''t dare."


    "I wouldn''t dare, but whether Pearl would be is anyone''s guess," Cameron said with a shrug.


    Milena exploded. "Cameron, if anything happens to my father, it''s on you!"


    Cameron just smiled, "Milena, if you break into someone''s home and get killed by their pet tiger, what do you think the courts would say? How much money do you think you''d get?"


    Milena''s jaw dropped. "What do you mean breaking in? You invited us here!" she shouted.


    "Did 1? Where''s your proof?" Cameron asked coolly. "Couldn''t I just say you found out I was staying here and decided to barge in on your own?"


    Milena was speechless.


    "Stop this, Cameron," Heidi cut in "Just call off the tiger. I''m calling the shots here. Forget the check.


    Cameron raised an eyebrow. "You can make that call!"


    "Of course I can." Heidi raised an eyebrow.


    Cameron stood up and grabbed the paper and pen she''d prepared earlier, holding them out to Hold. "Put it in writing," she said firmly.


    The note read: 1, representing the Wace Family, voluntarily forfeit Samuel''spensation check of 15 million dors, unconditionally transfering it to Cameron as financial restitution for 18 years of deception.


    Heidi''s eyes went wide with shock,


    "Mom, see?" Milena cried. "This was her n all along! She was just waiting for your to cave. Don''t fall for it."


    "Milenal" Heidi shoved her away. "I can''t believe you. Your owis father means less to you than 15 million dor


    Milena''s mind went nk, "What''s she talking about? Somehow this is my fault now?'' she thought


    Heidi grabbed the pen and paper. “Fine, I''ll sign it."
