She's the Campus Prince novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429

Austin’s cough instantly improved Margot’s mood.

She’d nearly forgotten Austin had less than a year to live, so there was no need to ruin her mood over someone who’d be dead soon.

Margot asked with a concerned look, “Aus, how’s your health lately?”

Austin said, “Thanks for your concern. I’m okay. By the way, is Samuel on a business dinner tonight?”

At the mention of Samuel, everyone’s expression soured.

Samuel had suffered numerous setbacks because of Cameron, yet his pride kept him from letting Jeremy intervene, vowing to retaliate against Cameron after he healed.

Margot said, “Don’t worry about him. He’s busy.”

For the sake of her self–esteem, Margot naturally wouldn’t tell Austin about Samuel’s humiliating losses.

Austin lowered his eyes, a faint, enigmatic smile on his lips.

As he expected, no one remembered it was Austin’s birthday by the end of dinner.

Margot was highly emotional intelligence, so she likely hadn’t truly forgotten–she’d just pretended to.

Austin returned to his villa. Sitting in the empty living room, he stared blankly at the crystal chandelier. After a long while, he hesitated but finally sent Cameron a text.

When Cameron received Austin’s message, she’d just finished dinner with Bradley.

Bradley was watching a legal channel while Cameron played with Pearl.

Pearl had thrived in the castle, hunting in the rear primeval forest daily. Its fur was sleeker, and its body had grown round and plump.

Cameron rubbed its head. “Pearl, you need to lose weight.”

Pearl let out a disgruntled snort.

Just then, her phone pinged. Cameron picked it up and froze at the message.

Austin had sent a simple text. Austin: [Cameron, can you wish me a happy birthday?]

It was Austin’s birthday. He’d probably wanted to say this in his afternoon message, too.

“What’s wrong?” Bradley held the remote, catching Cameron’s startled reaction from the corner of his eye.

Cameron said, “Brad, I need to go out.”

“Why?” Bradley looked at her.

Cameron didn’t explain further, standing to go upstairs.

Since she didn’t elaborate, Bradley didn’t press. By the time Cameron came down, he’d already arranged a driver for her.

Bradley asked, “Will you be back tonight?”

Bradley nodded, “Alright, Call me if you need anything I’ll keep my phone on?
