She's the Campus Prince novel Chapter 619

Helen didn’t respond to Austin’s apology.

Seeing her silence, Austin turned and walked away.

She watched his back as he left and let out a deep, weary sigh.

Then she returned to Yates Manor.

In the living room, Cameron and the others were chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened. The mood was light and easy, completely at odds with the earlier tension. But Helen couldn’t pretend it hadn’t happened. She walked straight over to Cameron.

The conversation stopped the moment Helen approached. The four of them quieted in unspoken agreement.

Cameron looked up first and said, “Helen?”

“I’m sorry, Cam,” Helen said, locking eyes with her. “I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.”

Cameron shook her head. “Helen, it’s not your fault. Austin used you.”

Jacqueline chimed in, “You’re just too pure–hearted, Helen.”

Gavin added, “You’ve been sheltered your whole life.”

Before now, Helen had been the only girl in the family, doted on by everyone. She was kind, innocent, and unguarded, an easy target for someone like Austin.

Levi spoke next, “You can’t be that naïve anymore. People outside the island aren’t like us.”

Before college, Helen had never even left the island. She had no idea how harsh the world could be.

Her gaze dropped. “I was stupid,” she murmured.

‘Let’s be honest. Austin’s face was too damn convincing. That’s what tripped me up.‘

Cameron shook her head. “No, Helen. You weren’t stupid. Austin was just incredibly manipulative.”

She had once trusted Austin completely too. She saw something in him, his situation with the Fraser family reminded her of her own growing up in the Wallace family. That sense of familiarity made her open her heart without question.

And in return, he stabbed her in the back.

Austin had always been good at pretending.

Helen said softly, “Still, I caused all this. I’m sorry, Cam, I never meant to bring trouble to you.”

Cameron knew Helen felt terrible. She stood up and gave her shoulder a gentle pat. “I accept your apology, Helen.”

Helen pressed her lips together and nodded. “Thank you, Cam.”

Cameron stood and patted Helen’s shoulder.

Then Helen quietly walked out.

Jacqueline took Cameron’s hand, a little emotional. “You’re such a good kid.”

After all, it would’ve been understandable if Cameron had held a grudge. No one would’ve blamed her. But she hadn’t. Not even a little.

Chapter 619

Cameron smiled. “You think I’m perfect, Mom.”

Jacqueline chuckled. “You kind of are.”

Levi added with a grin, “Of course she is. She’s my daughter.”

Gavin echoed without hesitation, “Cam, you’re flawless.”

Cameron laughed. “You guys are too much.”

It was getting late. After chatting a little longer, everyone went back to their rooms.

Cameron had just finished washing up when she saw a message from Bradley.

She sat down, still toweling her damp hair, and opened his text.

Bradley: [Are you asleep? I just got back from the lawyer’s. The house feels so empty. What are you up to? What’s Pearl doing?]
