"What are you getting at?" Kander looked confused, Cameron had been smiling just moments ago, and now her face was like winter frost. "Hey brad, you don''t want me getting involved?"-


    "I''m the one who sent them to jail," Cameron said tly. "What do you think?


    Xander stared at her,pletely stunned. For a moment, he couldn''t find any words.


    "Cameron was the one who put Martin and Heidi behind bars? What the hell happened? Xander thought.


    "Let me beclear," Cameron said. "Tm not a Wace. They abducted me right after I was born. They basically destroyed mye, so I''m sending them to prison where they belong"


    Xander felt like he''d been pped. "Kidnapped? Cameron was kidnapped?" he thought. "That would make Milena''s parents child traffickers. Goth, they''re disgusting.


    "Listen, Xander," Cameron continued, "If you help Milena, you''re going against me. I don''t care if that puts us on opposite sides.


    "I do whatever it takes to make sure Martin and Heidi get what they deserve. Even


    if it means," she paused, "bing enemies with the Murphy family"


    Of course Cameron hated them. In her past life, she''d spent until her dying day wondering what she''d done wrong to deserve such treatment. But now she understood. It was never her fault. She hadn''t done anything wrong. And people who made mistakes deserved to be punished.


    walked away without another word, leaving Xander standing there like a statue


    Xander waspletely floored. "Going against the Murphy family? That serious?" he thought. Only one thought kept cycling through his head-Milena''s parents were human traffickers.


    Well, if they were traffickers, Xander absolutely wouldn''t help Martin and Heid Besides, he genuinely valued his friendship with Cameron, even if she usually gave him the cold shoulder.


    However, as for Milena, Xander was probably going to disappoint her,


    "Wait a second, Xander thought. "Something didn''t add up!


    Milena and Cameron looked practically identical. They were siblings. "Does that mean Milena was kidnapped too! Xander thought. That has to be it!


    Xander quickly pulled out his phone and texted Milena


    Xander: Ms. Wace, you and your brother were both abducted by your adoptive parents, right? if that''s the case, they deserve whatever punishment''sing to them. Why are you being so nice about this, asking me to ball them out? I don''t think that makes any sense.]


    When Milena received the message, she frone for a good minute. ''I was abducted too?


    After a couple minutes, it finally clicked. Xander probably thought she and Cameron were twins, a boy and a girl, After all, he''d seen Cameron dressed as


    aman


    Cameron wasn''t the Waces'' child, then naturally, neither was she. That was why Xander had sent this whole spiel


    Milena stared at her phone,pletely unsure how to respond. She wouldn''t dare reveal that Cameron was actually a girl dressing as a boy.


    If Xander found out Cameron was a girl pretending to be a boy, he''d probably stop talking to her altogether.


    After a while, Milena sent another message to Xander: (Xander, I know they were wrong, but they raised me since I was little. I''ve never even met my birth parents. I just can''t stand by and let this happen.)


    Xander replied: [You''re too kind hearted. You should learn from your brother Bad people deserve consequences. Sorry, but I exit''s help you with the


    Xander nat-out refused Milena for two reasons. First, he didn''t want to make Cameron upset, Second, he actually agreed with Cameron''s approach in Wime, Martin and Heidl needed to pay fo
