Chapter 531
Austin asked, “Cam, where you headed?”
Elijah said, “Noble Vista?”
Xander added, “I’ve got a place there too.”
Bradley chimed in, “Pretty sure we all do.”
Cameron sat down on the edge of a flowerbed and gave up on arguing. “You guys keep going. I’m just listening.”
“Heh…”
Bradley couldn’t help laughing at the look on Cameron’s face. He reached out, almost without thinking, to ruffle Cameron’s hair.
But just before his hand made contact, a firm grip caught his wrist.
“Brad, what are you doing?”
It was Xander.
Bradley blinked.
He stared at Xander’s hand. “Seriously, what’s your problem?”
Xander pulled him back. “Cameron’s got a thing about cleanliness. Don’t touch him.“.
“Cleanliness?” Bradley echoed.
Come to think of it, maybe that was true. But he’d tousled Cameron’s hair before, and Cameron had never really reacted.
Elijah looked straight at her. “Brad, he does.”
Honestly, Elijah wasn’t thrilled about Bradley getting too close either. They were friends, sure, but still, watching Cameron be that close with someone else didn’t sit right.
He’d told himself he’d just watch Cameron quietly, stay out of the way. But it turned out, even that had its limits.
Bradley gave a half–smile and withdrew his hand.
Austin stood to the side, silent, his brows drawn together.
Am I imagining things? Or does it seem like every single one of them is trying to stake a claim on Cam?‘
No. Absolutely not.
He wasn’t about to let anyone take Cam away.
Cameron stood up and said, “I’ve got something to take care of. You guys talk.”
Then he bolted.
The four of them stood there, watching him disappear.
Cameron didn’t stop running until she’d put some real distance between herself and the others.
‘That was… weird.‘

Chapter 531
Back at school, in Room 316, everything had felt easy, natural.
So why did things feel so off now?
She shook her head and decided not to think too hard about it.
That night, William hosted a massive celebration in Cameron’s honor. The crowd included school officials and professors from top universities across the country.
They were already trying to recruit her.
William shielded Cameron throughout, polite
everyone down with the excuse that Cameron needed time to consider. No promises were made.
Later, back at home…
Elijah asked, “Cameron, are you sure you want to study pharmacology?”
Cameron nodded. “Of course. I already started a company. You think I’m gonna back out now?”
Elijah smiled. “Good.”
That evening, Cameron sat at her laptop to finalize her applications.
In the end, she chose Stellanford University, the nation’s top school, for pharmacology.
