    wild spection about their rtionship.


    She chose to stage a suicide attempt, a frightening yet non-lethal method. Sessfully, this suicide

    Cam called the dealership to schedule a time to view a car.


    That evening, the dealership’s representative arrived at Cam’s home on time. He carefully


    examined the car’s exterior and interior.


    After a while, he looked up and said, “The car is indeed in good condition. Based on the market, I’d


    estimate its value between $75,000 and $80,000.”


    When he heared this price, her uncle’s face showed a pained expression. “That little? I bought this


    car for $110,000!” he eximed.


    The dealer smiled and exined, “A new car depreciates the moment it’s driven off the lot, and


    that’s the rule of the used car market.”


    Riley pulled Cam aside and whispered, “The depreciation is too much. I’ve only had it for a few


    months!”


    Cam consoled him, “I’ve consulted several used car dealerships, and this one offers a rtively


    high price. We really need the money now, so let’s just sell it.”


    Riley sighed and nodded.


    “We agree to sell the car,” Cam told the dealer.


    “Alright, I’ll need to take the car back for a more detailed inspection and evaluation. We’ll tow the car


    now and make the payment within three days,” the dealer said.


    Cam’s brow furrowed slightly. Her voice was firm. “I need the money by tomorrow.”


    The dealer paused, then replied, “Okay, you’re a friend of Wesley’s, so I’ll make an exception and


    request it from thepany.”


    Cam nodded, “Thank you.”


    Riley sighed deeply as he signed the paperwork.


    After signing, the dealer immediately contacted a towingpany to take the car away for


    inspection and evaluation.


    Back at home, Melinda asked, “Has the car been towed?”


    Riley nodded, sighing.


    “We’re still short a few thousand.” Melinda’s eyes rested on Cam.


    Cam sighed resignedly and nodded, “I’ll cover the rest.”


    “Good, good, my dear granddaughter. Drew can finally be bailed out,” Grandma said, holding


    Cam’s hand.


    Cam gave a faint smile and quietly withdrew her hand.


    “What are we going to do now? We can’t go back home for now,” Melinda sighed. Her face was full


    of worry.


    “You can stay here tonight. It’s small, but we’ll make do,” ire suggested.


    “It’s too cramped here. Isn’t there a hotel nearby?” Grandma frowned.


    Cam scoffed, “If you think it’s too small here, go stay in a hotel if you have the money.”


    Riley tugged at his mother’s sleeve and shook his head.


    Faced with reality, they had no choice but to stay. The atmosphere at home was oppressively tense.


    “Cami, you should head back. It’s gettingte.”
