She's the Campus Prince

Levi's face darkened further. "Showing up at our home uninvited isn't

harassment? And you dare ask for a fair chance?"

Austin tried to defend himself. "Mr. Yates, I had no choice. Cameron blocked all my contact information. This was my last resort."

"So now it's my fault?" Cameron gave him a cold, half-smile.

Austin shook his head. "No. It's my fault." He had just cared too much. He didn't want her to spend time alone with Bradley, and jealousy drove him to sabotage her relationship with Bradley. That was in the past, and he thought it was over.

"Enough," Gavin snapped. "Security, throw him out!"

The guards moved instantly.

Helen didn't want the situation to escalate further. She stepped between them, her voice strained. "Austin, just go." She reached for his arm, signaling the guards to stand down, only to be shoved away by Austin.

Helen stumbled back a few steps, frowning slightly.

Stumbling back, Helen frowned. Jacqueline steadied her and stared at Austin.

Austin's gaze remained locked on Cameron. "You'd really cut me off over something so trivial?"

Cameron stared at him coldly. "Get out."noveldrama

"Huh." Austin lowered his gaze, letting out a bitter laugh. There was nothing but sorrow behind that sound.

He thought, 'She's driving me away? Doesn't she realize she's the only light I've ever known? She pulled me from darkness, but now, she is pushing me

back in?'

Jacqueline studied Austin with growing unease. Something was unsettling about his melancholy.

She finally spoke, "Helen, take him away."

Helen nodded.

This time, Austin didn't resist as Helen led him off.

Gavin ruffled Cameron's hair protectively. "It's okay, Cam. You've got us.

Cameron smiled up at him. "Thanks, Gavin."

Levi's voice was gruff with concern. "Sweetheart, if anyone bothers you again, tell me immediately. You shouldn't handle this alone."

Levi had still shown some mercy because of Helen. Otherwise, Austin wouldn't have left so easily.

Jacqueline squeezed Cameron's hand. "We're your family, Cam. We share your burdens."

"Thank you." Cameron rested her head against Jacqueline's shoulder, warmth flooding her chest.

This unconditional love was the balrn for every wound. All the unfair treatment she had suffered in the Wallace family and all the quiet envy she had felt toward Milena faded to nothing at that moment.

As for Austin? She couldn't care less.

Helen walked Austin out in silence. Once beyond Yates Manor's gate, she stopped. "Leave, Austin." Her tone was cold.

Austin turned, seeing her icy expression. He smiled bitterly, "You hate me now too, Helen?"

"Do I have a reason not to?" Helen snorted.

Austin froze. Moonlight carved shadows across his striking features, emotions warring beneath the surface. His lips parted slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Helen's words echoed in his mind. He thought, 'Do I even deserve love? Back in the Fraser family, everyone hated me. At school, girls only cared about my looks.'

He strode forward blindly. After several steps, he turned around. “Helen, I'm sorry."
