Chapter 47
Once Eliana finished up, she went downstairs. “Good morning. Mom and Dad, she greeted cheerfully.
Lucy was in the kitchen, making sandwiches. She smiled warmly when she saw Eliana and called out, “Come here honey, I made you some sandwiches
Sebastian looked up from the table. “Did you sleep well, Eliana?”
Eliana nodded and walked over briskly. “I slept great,”
Owen, who had been in the kitchen, came out with a cup of coffer. “Milk or coffee, Eliana?”
“Coffee, please. Thanks.”
Owen handed her the cup before going back to grab his own.
Recently, some of the gossip from Isonstead University had found its way to Lucy and Sebastian.
Lucy asked. “Eliana, did you hear? The real daughter of the Garcia family from Avragow has transferred to your school.”
Eliana hesitated, then responded. “Mom, you’ve heard about her?
Lucy frowned. “Has she been giving you trouble!”
Eliana shook her head and smiled. “Not really. Just some small stuff.”“
Sebastian’s expression grew serious “Eliana, if anyone’s been bothering you, you can always tell your dad or me. Or talk to your brother. Don’t keep it to yourself, okay?”
Eliana took a bite of her sandwich, reassuring them with a smile Dad, there’s really nothing to worry about. She’s not a threat.
Lucy sighed in relief. Tm glad to hear that.”
As for everything that had happened before Eliana crossed over, she was determined to make Willow pay for it, on her own
terms.
She didn’t want Lucy and Sebastian to get involved in it.
Besides, the university time could be both long and short, and without Willow, Eliana would probably be bored out of her mind.
Willow was going to keep causing trouble, and Eliana planned make sure she saw every bit of Eliana’s success, step by step, as she moved toward her own shining future.
Everything Willow had taken from her, Eliana would take back.
After all, if Willow were driven away, w

Before breakfast was over, Jasper, the butler watering the garden outside, noticed Cameron approaching. “Mr. Wright!”
Hearing his voice, everyone at the table turned toward the door.
Cameron had arrived.
Eliana paused with her coffee cup in hand. “Mom, Dad, that’s Cameron outside.”

The butler welcomed Cameron inside Today, he was dressed in casual light gray outfit that gave off a relaxed vibe, though his aristocratic air was unmutakable.
Once inside, Cameron greeted Lacy and Sebastian. “Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Davis. I’m here to wait for Eliana.”
Owen holding his own cup of coffee, walked over and smiled when he saw Cameron Cameron, what brings you here?”
“Hi Owen
Eliana quickly explained, “Mom, Dad, bro, we promised to visit Cameron’s house today. I didn’t know the way, so he came to pick me up. My cousins are with him, too.”
Cameron was the only child of the Wright family, and the Wrights and the Davis family shared a strong bond. Even though one family was in busmess and the other in politics, they had maintained a close personal friendship.
Sebastian and Cameron’s father had been close friends for nearly twenty years.
“I see. Sebastian said Cameron, have you had breakfast yet?”
Not yet Cameron replied.
“Well, come join us. Lucy invited, signaling for the butler to bring more dishes.
The butler quickly brought out fresh utensils and added a few more dishes to the already generous breakfast spread. One more person wouldn’t make much of a difference.
Cameron didn’t hesitate. He walked over and took a seat next to Owen, directly a
across from Eliana.
“Cameron, what are you doing here so early? We agreed on nine, but it’s only eight!” Eliana said, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
I woke up early,” Cameron replied smoothly, though the truth was far different. He’d spent the night getting himself just right, making sure the house was spotless and had barely slept. By the time the first light of day began to creep in, he was already on his way out, before the butler had even noticed.
Eliana didn’t seem to doubt him, though.
Owen grinned. “Looks like you and Eliana are getting along well. That’s a relief. We were a little worried she might have trouble settling in at first.”
Cameron nodded politely. “Eliana’s easy to get along with
Lucy, her face lighting up with a warm smile, added, “Of course! Eliana has such a sweet temperament. That’s why we were worried she might get picked on at school. Cameron, you’ll have to look out for her, as the upperclassman”
Cameron gave a respectful nod. “Of course, Mrs. Davis. I’ll take care of her.”
Sebastian, turning
his attention to Eliana, said seriously, “You’re going to visit the Wright family later, right? Don’t forget to bring a gift with you.”
Eliana nodded. “Okay,”
Cameron immediately interjected. “We’re just visiting for fun, no need for gifts.”
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “That’s not how it works. It’s only polite to bring something. Jasper, go grab the jade Guanyin I

brought back last time. Let Eliana take it with her.”
Seeing that Sebastian wasn’t backing down, Cameron didn’t argue. He’d return the favor later when Eliana came back.
Half an hour later, breakfast was finished.
The servant had cleaned Lunchie’s paws and placed the little dog in Eliana’s bag. She grabbed it and left, though lately, Lunchie had been eating so well that it had gained some weight. The servant also handed her a leash, just in case she wanted to walk Lunchie later.
With the gift in hand and Lunchie beside her, Eliana left with Cameron.
Cameron’s car was parked in the shade outside the Davis family estate. He opened the door for Eliana.
She placed Lunchie inside and then climbed into the car, settling in with the gift.
“Cameron, is your house far?” she asked casually.
“No, not far,” he replied.
And it wasn’t. His house was just in the downtown of Dratora City
Cameron got into the driver’s seat and started the car..
“By the way, have you seen the school forum! Willow designed a few cheerleading uniforms for the tennis club, and she’s asking people to vote on their favorites, Eliana said, pulling out her phone,
“I haven’t seen it. Willow, you said?” Cameron asked, sounding a bit confused.
Eliana raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know who Willow is? Wait, you didn’t even know her name was Willow?”
Cameron shrugged. “I don’t have time to care about people who don’t matter.
Eliana raised an eyebrow, thinking that sounded just like something Cameron would say.
When they arrived at the Wright family estate. Landon, Thomas, and Adam were already there.
As Eliana got out of the car, she was momentarily stunned by the grandeur of the estate, massive plaques, stone statues guarding the entrance, and grand double doors.
She froze, staring in disbelief. She hadn’t expected this traditional mansion to be Cameron’s home!
No wonder the Wright family estate was the largest in Dratora City. It was enormous!
The entire estate was enclosed by high walls, and everything inside belonged to the Wright family.
Eliana couldn’t help but murmur, The people who live here must be dukes!”
Thomas, walking up with the others, chuckled. “You’re right, Eliana. This mansion used to belong to a duke. The old Wright Palace was right here”
Cameron’s family had noble roots. They were true aristocrats.
“Though that’s not really a thing anymore. The whole place has been renovated. You’ll see when we go inside. We’ve seen our fair share of fancy places, but every time we come to Cameron’s house, it still feels like a country bumpkin stepping into a palace. Thomas said with a teasing grin.
