Cameron shook her head. Tim not hiding from Samuel, and I''m not going to the


    zoo. I brought Pearl back ages ago


    Austin asked in surprise, "Pearl isn''t at the on anymore?"


    Cameron nodded. "Right. She couldn''t adapt to life there


    Austin was speechless for a mo


    a moment.


    “Um,” Elijah said, "can I ask who Pearl is?" He couldn''t quite follow the conversation between Cameron and Austin.


    Cameron said, "Pearl''s a tiger"


    Elijah said, "A tiger?"


    Austin said, "It''s a long story. Cameron, you go first-fill Elijah in." After a pause, he asked, "Can I tell him about this?"


    Cameron gave an "OK" gesture, then left the dorm..


    Austin began, "Elijah, the thing is-"


    "Never mind." Elijah cut Austin off coldly, then grabbed his bag and left the dorm too.


    Realizing Lijah might be jealous, Austin let out a sarcasticugh,


    As Cameron reached the dorm entrance, she immediately saw Xander and Tyrell leaning against the wall,


    "Cameron!" Tyrell greeted her with a smile. Cameron nodded but kept walking.


    "Cameron!" Xander hurried to catch up. "Didn''t you see me?"


    Cameron didn''t stop walking "I saw you. What''s up?"


    Xander said, "It''s not about me. It''s about you."


    Only then did Cameron halt. "What do you mean?"


    Xander said, "You dare walk out of school so openly? Watch out. Samuel might have people ambushing you outside."


    After a moment of silence, Cameron said, "Thanks for the concem. With that, she tried to leave immediately.


    Xander quickly blocked her path. "Why won''t you listen? Don''t you know how ruthless Samuel is? Do you want to die?"


    The Wace family''s sudden bankruptcy overnight had been terrifying enough.


    Cameron said, "Don''t worry. He can''t do anything to me." She didn''t bother listening to Xander''s nagging and just took off running.


    Xander was speechless.


    Tyrell said, "Damn, he runs like a rocket if he joined the track team, he''d probably win a world championship."


    Xander shot him a re, leaving Tyrell confused about what he''d said wrong.


    Xander grumbled, "If you want to get yourself into trouble, I won''t stop you.


    Ju first, he''d wanted to take Cameron back to Murphy Manor to keep har safe, but she wasn''t grateful


    Milena watched Xander and Cameron from a distance.


    Her family had suffered a major upheaval, and after taking a few days off, Milena had returned to school because she had nowhere else to go now


    Besides, she needed to cling tightly to Xander, Milena turned away and took out her phone to text him.


    Milena [Mr. Murphy, are you with my brother right now!)


    When Xander received Milena''s message, he felt irritated instead of is usual excitement.


    From thest time Milena had asked for his help, Xander had noticed that Cameron deeply resisted anything rted to the Wace family.


    He was tom between his good buddy and the girl he liked.


    After a long while, he replied to Milena. Xander: No. Why? You looking for Cameron?


    Milena was shocked. She''d just seen them talking together. She didn''t know why


    Xander''s attitude toward her had changed and immediately suspected that bitch Cameron had said something to him.
