Chapter 270
“Wow, you really did dispatch that military unit!”
Tara covered her mouth in awe.
She took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
She regained composure after a while, but her eyes were still filled with astonishment.
“Cameron, who exactly are you? Why did a colonel listen to your orders?”
If Tara wasn’t mistaken, the leader was Colonel Larson from Yrando Military Region.
“Well… I’m not as impressive as you think. I’m just benefiting from Ms. Jones‘ influence,” Cameron paused before answering.
“Benefiting from Ms. Jones‘ influence?”
Tara was puzzled.
“Yeah. Didn’t I tell you before that I’m Ms. Jones‘ representative in Yrando? I was fortunate to meet Colonel Larson at Ms. Jones‘ recommendation. He was simply showing his respect to Ms. Jones,” Cameron explained.
“I see.”
Tara sighed in relief.
“But do you have a grudge with the Zimmer family? Why would you even dispatch a military unit?”
“There are indeed some old grudges.”
Cameron sneered.
“Are they significant?” Tara continued.
“Yeah.”
Cameron nodded.
Even if the Zimmer family didn’t admit it, he could confirm that his mother’s death back then must
have been related to them.
He wouldn’t let anyone involved in his mother’s murder go unpunished.
“Aren’t you afraid of retaliation from the Zimmer family?” Tara persisted.
“No, I’m not.”
“Are you confident that you can deal with them?”
“Dr. Smith, why are you suddenly concerned about this?”

Cameron furrowed his brows. He sensed that Tara was fishing for information.
“Well… I have a favor to ask you.”
Tara felt embarrassed now that her intentions were obvious.
“What favor?”
Cameron raised an eyebrow, expecting that it couldn’t be something good.
“It’s… There’s a party tomorrow at Platinum Duke Hotel. Could you accompany me?” Tara asked,
“A party? What kind of party?” Cameron inquired.
“It’s just a regular party. There will be many local wealthy young people there. I just want you to pretend to be… my boyfriend,” Tara finally spat out, looking slightly embarrassed,
“Pretend to be your boyfriend?”
Cameron’s eyes twitched.
As he anticipated, it wasn’t anything good.
“Yeah.”
Tara nodded.
“I’m not going!” Cameron refused decisively.
He didn’t want people to think he was supporting Tara, and he didn’t want Dakota to worry, either.
“Come on, Cameron. Just accompany me, okay? If you reject me, I’ll have no one to go with,” Tara
pleaded.
She tugged at Cameron’s arm and acted coquettishly.
“No way!”
Cameron wasn’t falling for it.
The more flirtatious Tara behaved, the more uneasy he felt. If he joined her tomorrow, it would most definitely cause trouble again.
“Don’t be so stubborn. Just go with me, please. Consider it a favor to me.”
Tara’s tone softened even more.
If it were any other man, they might have succumbed to Tara’s coquettishness long ago. But Cameron
knew Tara well.
He was sure it wasn’t merely a simple request if she was acting like this.
Therefore, he refused again without hesitation.
“No, I’m busy tomorrow.”

“Hmph, suit yourself!”
Tara snorted.

“Alright, Dr. Smith. I’m leaving,” Cameron said, still not giving in.
“Don’t go yet!” Tara said panickedly,
She had to resort to her last trick.
“Don’t you have a grudge against the Zimmer family? Kelvin will also be attending the party tomorrow, and he’s the organizer. Are you sure you don’t want to go take a look?”
Cameron paused in his steps.
Tara thought her words had piqued Cameron’s interest.
Just as she was about to continue, Cameron shook his head.
“Not interested.”
With that, he left without a care.
“Don’t be so heartless.”
Tara pouted again.
Cameron walked further away.
“Hey, Cameron! Wait for me! Let me explain the situation!”
Tara hurried to catch up.
At this point, she could only be honest and tell him the truth.
